comment on the draft recommendations
for hepatitis B screening and testing.
The comment period closed on January

pertaining to the draft recommendations
document. Public comments were
received from the general public, health
care providers, advocacy groups,
industry, medical professional
associations, thinktanks and a public
health department.
Twelve of the comments expressed
full support for the recommendations.
Two comments were critical of the
approach and recommended keeping
the current recommendation of HCV
antibody testing at age ≥18 months. CDC
also received comments about: testing
infants and children when maternal
HCV status is unknown; follow up after
receiving test results; testing siblings of
perinatally infected infants; stigma and
harms of HCV testing; suggested
scientific content and implementation
guidance; and editorial comments. CDC
addressed these comments by
correcting, clarifying, or updating
content in the final recommendations. A

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;
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; and
5. Assess information collection costs.
Proposed Project
National Center for Chronic Disease
Prevention and Health Promotion: Work
Plans, Progress Monitoring, and
Evaluation Reporting (NCCDPHP
WPPMER)—New—National Center for
Chronic Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Each year, more than 80% of the
budget for the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC) and the
National Center for Chronic Disease
Prevention and Health Promotion
(NCCDPHP) is distributed to awardees
such as state health departments,
universities, and other organizations,
primarily through cooperative
agreements. The structure of cooperative
agreements is such that awardees and
CDC project officers, subject matter
experts, and technical monitors work
together on designing projects intended
to improve public health.
Currently there is no single
information collection mechanism that
encompasses all collection needs for
cooperative agreements. NCCDPHP
seeks OMB approval to use Generic
Information Collection Request (ICR)
templates to collect work plan,
monitoring, and/or evaluation
information from cooperative agreement
awardees. The proposed Generic ICR
will allow the creation of individualized
templates or forms for each phase of
each award.
