RBC folate forms, LDC cholesterol, and chlamydia are examples of tests that have been removed for 2025–2026. New laboratory tests include B vitamins, choline and metabolites, and aldosterone. The biospecimens collected for laboratory tests include urine and blood. Serum, plasma, DNA, and urine specimens will be stored for future testing if the participant provides consent. and children tend to have shorter interviews and exams than adults. This is because young people may have fewer health conditions or medications to report so their interviews take less time or because certain exams are only conducted on sample persons 18 and older. In addition, adults often serve as proxy respondents for young people in their families. Participation in NHANES is voluntary and confidential. The Program is requesting a three-year approval, with 36,540 annualized hours of burden in this clearance request. NHANES may conduct developmental projects during NHANES 2025–2026, with a focus on planning for NHANES 2027 and beyond. These may include activities such as tests of new equipment, crossover studies between current and proposed methods, test of different study modes, settings or technology, outreach materials, incentive strategies, sample storage and processing or sample designs. Burden for individuals in 2025–2026 NHANES will vary based on their level of participation.

Proposed Project Program Evaluation for PS22–2208 Component 2—New—National Center for HIV, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description PS22–2208 Component 2 (Strengthening Syringe Services Programs) serves as a coordinated and accountable mechanism for distribution of funding to syringe services programs PO 00000 Frm 00070 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 41441 (SSPs) to support implementation and expansion of services in areas of the United States, Territories, and Tribal Nations disproportionately affected by infectious disease consequences of injection drug use. Project activities will directly contribute to establishing and expanding a national SSP infrastructure and prevention of infectious disease consequences of drug use. CDC has funded the National Alliance of State and Territorial AIDs Directors (NASTAD) to implement this project. NASTAD, in partnership with University of Washington will collect monitoring and evaluation data from funded SSPs through their internal mechanisms, both for their internal evaluation as well as to report semiannual and annual project performance reports and stratified aggregate data to CDC. The primary purpose of this information collection is to monitor and evaluate the PS22–2208 Component 2 funding opportunity’s overall goal of supporting SSP subrecipients in meeting the needs of people who use drugs (PWUD) and reducing infectious disease and other harms related to drug use. During the first year of this Cooperative Agreement, all PS22–2208 SSP subrecipients will be sent a 25minute baseline program evaluation survey at the start of project implementation, and a 15-minute quarterly program evaluation survey in the following three quarters of the project period. For Years 2–5, new PS22–2208 SSP subrecipients will be sent the baseline survey at the start of project implementation, and all existing subrecipients will receive the quarterly program evaluation survey in the following three quarters of the project period. SSP subrecipients will primarily complete the survey online in REDCap, with options to complete via telephone or videoconferencing modalities. Subrecipients will be asked to complete the surveys within one month of receipt and will receive weekly reminders until the survey is complete. SSP subrecipients may be reminded informally during meetings with NASTAD and may also work with their NASTAD point-of-contact to determine an alternate method of survey completion. The survey will include questions on operational and programmatic characteristics, and quantity of prevention and treatment services provided in-person, through tele-health, and through navigation to off-site care, during the specified evaluation period. Approximately 200 SSPs will participate in the survey. We estimate that it will take 70 minutes for each SSP E:\FR\FM\13MYN1.SGM 13MYN1
