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 ‘‘National HIV
Behavioral Surveillance System: Brief
HIV Bio-behavioral Assessment (NHBS–
BHBA)’’ 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 May 13,
2022 to obtain comments from the
public and affected agencies. CDC
received one comment 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

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.
Comments and recommendations for the
proposed information collection should
be sent within 30 days of publication of
this notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/

is to monitor behaviors of populations at
high risk for Human Immunodeficiency
Virus (HIV) infection using mixedmethods in selected geographic areas in
the United States which lack
biobehavioral data related to HIV
transmission and prevention.
Preventing HIV, especially among
populations at high risk, is an effective
strategy for reducing individual, local,
and national healthcare costs. The
utility of this information is to provide
CDC and health department staff with
data for evaluating progress towards
state public health goals, such as
reducing new HIV infections, increasing
the use of condoms, and focusing on
populations at high risk by describing
and monitoring the HIV risk behaviors,
HIV seroprevalence and incidence, and
HIV prevention experiences of persons
at highest risk for HIV infection.
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) requests a three-year
approval for a new information
collection. Data will be systematically
collected using mixed methods of
quantitative and qualitative interviews.
Brief screening interviews will be used
to determine eligibility for participation
in the quantitative and qualitative
interviews.
Project areas will conduct brief
standardized quantitative interviews
and anonymous HIV blood-based rapid
testing and supplemental testing to
those who participate in quantitative
data collection to assess HIV
seroprevalence. The data from the
quantitative interviews will provide
estimates of: (1) behavior related to the
risk of HIV and other sexually
transmitted diseases; (2) prior testing for
HIV; and (3) use of HIV prevention
services. HIV screening results will be
made available to participants, and
those with preliminary positive test
results will be linked to HIV care.
Qualitative data collection includes key
informant interviews with community

members and professionals familiar
with the population and focus groups to
interpret standardized quantitative
findings and inform grantee-developed
recommendations for state/local public
health partners. The data from
qualitative interviews will be used to
interpret standardized quantitative
findings and inform recipient-developed
recommendations for state and local
public health authorities. No other
federal agency collects this type of
information in the populations at high
risk in these selected geographic areas
using mixed methods of quantitative
and qualitative interviews.
CDC estimates that during
quantitative interviewing, 1338
individuals will complete the
quantitative base eligibility screener,
1204 will complete the quantitative
population eligibility screener, and 338
will be either not interested or
ineligible, yielding a total of 1000
eligible respondents over a 12-month
period. For qualitative data collection
approximately 96 individuals will
complete the eligibility screener, 16 of
the respondents will be either not
interested in completing a qualitative
interview, or will be ineligible, yielding
a total of 80 eligible respondents over a
12-month period.
The total estimated annualized
burden requested is 497 hours.
Participation of is voluntary, and there
are no costs to respondents other than
their time.

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
