Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork
Reduction Act Review
In accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
has submitted the information
collection request titled ‘‘Resources and
Services Database of the CDC National
Prevention Information Network
(NPIN)’’ to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) for review and
approval. CDC previously published a
‘‘Proposed Data Collection Submitted
for Public Comment and
Recommendations’’ notice on July 5,
2019 to obtain comments from the
public and affected agencies. CDC did
not receive comments related to the
previous notice. This notice serves to
allow an additional 30 days for public
and affected agency comments.
CDC will accept all comments for this
proposed information collection project.
The Office of Management and Budget
is particularly interested in comments
that:
(a) Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
(b) Evaluate the accuracy of the
agencies estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
(c) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected;
(d) Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including, through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses; and
(e) Assess information collection
costs.
To request additional information on
the proposed project or to obtain a copy
of the information collection plan and
instruments, call (404) 639–7570 or
send an email to omb@cdc.gov. Direct
written comments and/or suggestions
regarding the items contained in this
notice to the Attention: CDC Desk
Officer, Office of Management and
Budget, 725 17th Street NW,
Washington, DC 20503 or by fax to (202)
395–5806. Provide written comments
within 30 days of notice publication.
Proposed Project
Resources and Services Database of
the CDC National Prevention
Information Network (NPIN) (OMB
Control No. 0920–0255, Exp. 02/29/
2020)—Revision—National Center for
HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, Sexually
Transmitted Diseases, and Tuberculosis
Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
NCHHSTP has the primary
responsibility within the CDC and the
U.S. Public Health Service for the
prevention and control of HIV infection,
viral hepatitis, sexually transmitted
diseases (STDs), and tuberculosis (TB),
as well as for community-based HIV
prevention activities, syphilis, and TB
elimination programs. This request is
for a revision and three-year approval of
a currently approved data collection
under the Paperwork Reduction Act.
This data collection is currently
approved under OMB Control No. 0920–
0255. The purpose of this data
collection is to assist the public by
providing information about resources.
The National Prevention Information
Network (NPIN) serves as the U.S.
reference, referral, and distribution
service for information on HIV/AIDS,
viral hepatitis, STDs, and TB,
supporting NCHHSTP’s mission to link
Americans to prevention, education,
and care services. If NPIN does not
continue this information collection and
verification project, the potential
number of resource listings will be
significantly reduced, and the accuracy
and currency of the existing records will
be greatly diminished. The NPIN
Resources and Services Database
contains entries on approximately
10,000 organizations and is the most
comprehensive listing of HIV/AIDS,
viral hepatitis, STD, and TB resources
and services available throughout the
country. The American public can
access the NPIN resources and Services
database through the NPIN website.
More than 1,000,000 unique visitors and
more than 3,000,000 page views are
recorded annually.
Information for this request will be
collected using the Resources and
Services Questionnaire. Organizations
with access to the internet will be given
the option to complete and submit an
electronic version of the questionnaire
by visiting the NPIN website. Methods
to be used to collect the information
include online, telephone and email
survey questionnaires to collect
information from representatives of the
organizations that provide covered
services. In comparison to the
previously approved collection, the
NPIN questionnaire is collecting the
same information, but the format of the
NPIN online questionnaire was
modified to decrease free text. This
serves to improve the time needed to
complete the form. To accomplish
CDC’s goal of continuing efforts to
maintain an up-to-date, comprehensive
database, NPIN plans each year to add
up to 400 newly identified organizations
and verify those organizations currently
described in the NPIN Resources and
Services Database each year. Updates to
the NPIN resources and services
questionnaire reduced the total burden
hours by 33% when compared to the
previous OMB clearance. This data
collection uses no inferential statistical
methods. The data collected is in textual
or anecdotal format and will be used for
information purposes. There are no
costs to respondents other than their
time. The total burden is 1,144 hours.

Proposed Project
National Notifiable Diseases
Surveillance System (NNDSS)—
Revision—Center for Surveillance,
Epidemiology and Laboratory Services
(CSELS), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Public Health Services Act (42
U.S.C. 241) authorizes CDC to
disseminate nationally notifiable
condition information. The National
Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System
(NNDSS) is based on data collected at
the state, territorial and local levels as
a result of legislation and regulations in
those jurisdictions that require health
care providers, medical laboratories,
and other entities to submit healthrelated data on reportable conditions to
public health departments. These
reportable conditions, which include
infectious and non-infectious diseases,
vary by jurisdiction depending upon
each jurisdiction’s health priorities and
needs. Each year, the Council of State
and Territorial Disease Epidemiologists
(CSTE), supported by CDC, determines
which reportable conditions should be
designated nationally notifiable or
under standardized surveillance.
CDC requests a three-year approval for
a Revision to the NNDSS (OMB Control
No. 0920–0728, Expiration Date 04/30/
2022). This Revision includes requests
for approval to: (1) Receive case
notification data for Blastomycosis
which is now under standardized
surveillance; and (2) receive diseasespecific data elements for Carbon
Monoxide (CO) Poisoning, Congenital
Syphilis, and Sexually Transmitted
Disease (STD, not congenital).
The NNDSS currently facilitates the
submission and aggregation of case
notification data voluntarily submitted
to CDC from 60 jurisdictions: Public
health departments in every U.S. state,

Proposed Project
Resources and Services Database of the CDC National Prevention
Information Network (NPIN) (OMB Control No. 0920-0255, Exp. 02/29/
2020)--Revision--National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis,
Sexually Transmitted Diseases, and Tuberculosis Prevention (NCHHSTP),
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
NCHHSTP has the primary responsibility within the CDC and the U.S.
Public Health Service for the prevention and control of HIV infection,
viral hepatitis, sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), and tuberculosis
(TB), as well as for community-based HIV prevention activities,
syphilis, and TB elimination programs. This request is for a revision
and three-year approval of a currently approved data collection under
the Paperwork Reduction Act. This data collection is currently approved
under OMB Control No. 0920-0255. The purpose of this data collection is
to assist the public by providing information about resources.
The National Prevention Information Network (NPIN) serves as the
U.S. reference, referral, and distribution service for information on
HIV/AIDS, viral hepatitis, STDs, and TB, supporting NCHHSTP's mission
to link Americans to prevention, education, and care services. If NPIN
does not continue this information collection and verification project,
the potential number of resource listings will be significantly
reduced, and the accuracy and currency of the existing records will be
greatly diminished. The NPIN Resources and Services Database contains
entries on approximately 10,000 organizations and is the most
comprehensive listing of HIV/AIDS, viral hepatitis, STD, and TB
resources and services available throughout the country. The American
public can access the NPIN resources and Services database through the
NPIN website. More than 1,000,000 unique visitors and more than
3,000,000 page views are recorded annually.
Information for this request will be collected using the Resources
and Services Questionnaire. Organizations with access to the internet
will be given the option to complete and submit an electronic version
of the questionnaire by visiting the NPIN website. Methods to be used
to collect the information include online, telephone and email survey
questionnaires to collect information from representatives of the
organizations that provide covered services. In comparison to the
previously approved collection, the NPIN questionnaire is collecting
the same information, but the format of the NPIN online questionnaire
was modified to decrease free text. This serves to improve the time
needed to complete the form. To accomplish CDC's goal of continuing
efforts to maintain an up-to-date, comprehensive database, NPIN plans
each year to add up to 400 newly identified organizations and verify
those organizations currently described in the NPIN Resources and
Services Database each year. Updates to the NPIN resources and services
questionnaire reduced the total burden hours by 33% when compared to
the previous OMB clearance. This data collection uses no inferential
statistical methods. The data collected is in textual or anecdotal
format and will be used for information purposes. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time. The total burden is 1,144 hours.
