Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA)
(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal agencies
must obtain approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for each
collection of information they conduct
or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also
requires Federal agencies to provide a
60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each new
proposed collection, each proposed
extension of existing collection of
information, and each reinstatement of
previously approved information
collection before submitting the
collection to the OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are
publishing this notice of a proposed
data collection as described below.
The OMB is particularly interested in
comments that will help:
1. 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;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
4. 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 submissions
of responses.
5. Assess information collection costs.

Background and Brief Description
To address the HIV epidemic in the
U.S., the Department of Health and
Human Services launched Ending the
HIV Epidemic: A Plan for America,
which is a cross-agency initiative
aiming to reduce new HIV infections in
the U.S. by 90% by 2030. CDC’s Let’s
Stop HIV Together campaign (formerly
known as Act Against AIDS) is part of
the national Ending the HIV Epidemic
initiative and includes resources aimed
at reducing HIV stigma and promoting
testing, prevention, and treatment across
the HIV care continuum.
Within this context, CDC’s Division of
HIV/AIDS Prevention (DHAP) has and
will continue implementing various
communication initiatives to increase
HIV awareness among the general
public, reduce new HIV infections
among disproportionately impacted
populations, and improve health
outcomes for people living with HIV/
AIDS in the US and its territories.
Specifically, the campaigns target
consumers aged 18 to 64 years old and
includes the following audiences: (1)
General public; (2) men who have sex
with men; (3) Blacks/African
Americans; (4) Hispanics/Latinos; (5)
Transgender individuals; (6) people
who inject drugs; and (7) people with
HIV (PWH).
The rounds of data collection include
exploratory, message testing, concept
testing, and materials testing.
Information collected by DHAP will be
used to assess consumers’ informational
needs about HIV testing, prevention,
and treatment and pre-test campaignrelated messages, concepts, and
materials and evaluate the extent to
which the communication initiatives are
reaching the target audiences and
providing them with trusted HIV-related
information. Data collections will
include in-depth interviews, focus
groups, brief surveys, and intercept
interviews.
The data gathered under this request
will be summarized in reports prepared
for CDC by its contractor, such as
quarterly and annual reports and topline
reports that summarize results from
each data collection. It is possible that
data from this project will be published
in peer-reviewed manuscripts or
presented at conferences; the
manuscripts and conference
presentations may appear on the
internet. The total estimated annualized
burden hours are 1,856. There is no cost
to respondents other than their time to
participate.

The Privacy Act requires agencies
involved in a matching program to:
1. Enter into a written agreement,
which must be prepared in accordance
with the Privacy Act, approved by the
Data Integrity Board of each source and
recipient federal agency, provided to
Congress and the Office of Management

information will be used in the
matching program that the information
they provide is subject to verification
through matching, as required by 5
