Background and Brief Description CDC seeks to request a three-year Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval to revise the previously approved project and continue the collection of standardized HIV prevention program evaluation data from health departments and community-based organizations (CBOs) who receive federal funds for HIV prevention activities. Health department grantees have the options to key-enter or upload data to a CDC-provided webbased software application (EvaluationWeb®). CBO grantees may only key-enter data to the CDC-provided web-based software application. This revision includes changes to the data variables to adjust to the different monitoring and evaluation needs of new funding announcements without a substantial change in burden. The evaluation and reporting process is necessary to ensure that CDC receives standardized, accurate, thorough evaluation data from both health department and CBO grantees. For these reasons, CDC developed standardized NHM&E variables through extensive consultation with representatives from health departments, CBOs, and national partners (e.g., The National Alliance of State and Territorial AIDS Directors and Urban Coalition of HIV/AIDS Prevention Services). CDC requires CBOs and health departments who receive federal funds for HIV prevention to report nonidentifying, client-level and aggregate level, standardized evaluation data to: (1) Accurately determine the extent to which HIV prevention efforts are carried out, what types of agencies are providing services, what resources are allocated to those services, to whom services are being provided, and how these efforts have contributed to a reduction in HIV transmission; (2) improve ease of reporting to better meet these data needs; and (3) be accountable to stakeholders by informing them of E:\FR\FM\23APN1.SGM 23APN1 17663 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 78 / Monday, April 23, 2018 / Notices HIV prevention activities and use of funds in HIV prevention nationwide.

(NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    CDC seeks to request a three-year Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) approval to revise the previously approved project and continue 
the collection of standardized HIV prevention program evaluation data 
from health departments and community-based organizations (CBOs) who 
receive federal funds for HIV prevention activities. Health department 
grantees have the options to key-enter or upload data to a CDC-provided 
web-based software application (EvaluationWeb[supreg]). CBO grantees 
may only key-enter data to the CDC-provided web-based software 
application.
    This revision includes changes to the data variables to adjust to 
the different monitoring and evaluation needs of new funding 
announcements without a substantial change in burden.
    The evaluation and reporting process is necessary to ensure that 
CDC receives standardized, accurate, thorough evaluation data from both 
health department and CBO grantees. For these reasons, CDC developed 
standardized NHM&E variables through extensive consultation with 
representatives from health departments, CBOs, and national partners 
(e.g., The National Alliance of State and Territorial AIDS Directors 
and Urban Coalition of HIV/AIDS Prevention Services).
    CDC requires CBOs and health departments who receive federal funds 
for HIV prevention to report non-identifying, client-level and 
aggregate level, standardized evaluation data to: (1) Accurately 
determine the extent to which HIV prevention efforts are carried out, 
what types of agencies are providing services, what resources are 
allocated to those services, to whom services are being provided, and 
how these efforts have contributed to a reduction in HIV transmission; 
(2) improve ease of reporting to better meet these data needs; and (3) 
be accountable to stakeholders by informing them of

HIV prevention activities and use of funds in HIV prevention 
nationwide.
    CDC HIV prevention program grantees will collect, enter or upload, 
and report agency-identifying information, budget data, intervention 
information, and client demographics and behavioral risk 
characteristics with an estimate of 207,186 burden hours, an increase 
from the previously approved, 206,226 burden hours. Data collection 
will include searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining 
data, document compilation, review of data, and data entry or upload 
into the web based system.
