SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are
publishing this notice of a proposed
data collection as described below.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology; and (e) estimates of capital
or start-up costs and costs of operation,
maintenance, and purchase of services
to provide information. Burden means
the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to
generate, maintain, retain, disclose or
provide information to or for a Federal

agency. This includes the time needed
to review instructions; to develop,
acquire, install and utilize technology
and systems for the purpose of
collecting, validating and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; to train
personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information, to search
data sources, to complete and review
the collection of information; and to
transmit or otherwise disclose the
information.

treatment by health care providers in
the U.S. As providers are one of the few
professionals who have face-to-face
contact with persons infected with
STDs, they are also a potential
intervention point for attempts to
reduce re-infection and halt the further
transmission of STDs. There is no
national survey that collects detailed
information on STD practices of
physicians who typically see STD
patients.
The purpose of this survey is to
conduct a nationally representative
survey of physicians who typically see
STD patients (e.g., primary care—
including internal medicine, general or
family practice, obstetrics/gynecology,
emergency medicine, and pediatrics)
that would allow for national estimates
and comparisons among specialties.
Additionally, the survey will provide
national estimates for comparisons
between providers in the public and
private sectors. Information collected
will also be used to determine STD
prevention activities needed by type of
providers (by specialty or public/
private) based on findings related to
screening and treatment practices for
STDs including EPT.
The survey contains sections on the
physician’s specialty areas, primary
practice setting, primacy practice
policies, patient demographics, STD
testing and diagnosis, STD care and
treatment, and respondent
demographics.
In an effort to better understand
policies and practices for STD care
delivery among medical providers who
typically see patients for STDs, the
surveys will be sent to a random sample
of 5,000 U.S. physicians across several
specialties using the American Medical
Association Master file. Using a
multimode design (mail and web),
multiple reminders will be sent to nonresponders in order to reach the target
of 3,000 completed surveys.
There is no cost to respondents.

Proposed Project
Survey of Sexually Transmitted
Disease (STD) Provider Practices in the
United States—NEW—National Center
for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and
TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Each year, 19.7 million sexually
transmitted diseases (STDs) occur in the
U.S., half of which strike youth 15¥24
years of age.—The public health burden
of STDs is compounded by their
economic impact. In 2010, an estimated
$15.6 billion in direct medical costs
were attributed to STDs. Undiagnosed
and untreated STDs can lead to serious
long-term health consequences,
especially for adolescent girls and
young adult women. For example, every
year, about 24,000 young women
become infertile as a result of
undiagnosed and untreated STDs. The
STD Provider Survey will collect much
needed data from U.S. health care
providers in specialties that typically
see STD patients, including physician
specialties such as obstetrics/
gynecology, internal medicine, general
or family practice, emergency medicine,
or pediatrics. Knowledge of provider
practices relative to guidelines and
state-level laws and policies will
provide information useful to
stakeholders at all levels regarding the
delivery of STD preventive services and

protections for individuals applying for
and receiving Federal benefits. Section
7201 of the Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act of 1990 (Pub. L. 101–
508) further amended the Privacy Act
regarding protections for such
individuals. The Privacy Act, as
amended, regulates the use of computer
matching by Federal agencies when
records in a system of records are
matched with other Federal, state, or
local government records. It requires
Federal agencies involved in a CMP to:
1. Negotiate written agreements with
the other agencies participating in the
matching programs;
2. Obtain the Data Integrity Board
approval of the match agreements;
3. Furnish detailed reports about
matching programs to Congress and
OMB;
4. Notify applicants and beneficiaries
that the records are subject to matching;
and,
5. Verify match findings before
reducing, suspending, terminating, or
denying an individual’s benefits or
payments.
This matching program meets the
requirements of the Privacy Act of 1974,
as amended.

electronic interfaces and an on-line
system for the verification of eligibility.
The Computer Matching and Privacy
Protection Act of 1988 (CMPPA) (Pub. L.
100–503), amended the Privacy Act (5
U.S.C. 552a) and requires the parties
participating in a matching program to
execute a written agreement specifying
the terms and conditions under which
the matching will be conducted. CMS
has determined that status verification
checks to be conducted through the
CMS Data Services Hub (Hub) by
agencies administering insurance
affordability programs using data
provided in bulk by PC through a
security transfer data protocol to CMS
constitute a ‘‘computer matching
program’’ as defined in the CMPPA.
PURPOSE(S) OF THE MATCHING PROGRAM:

The purpose of the Computer
Matching Agreement is to establish the
terms, conditions, safeguards, and
procedures under which the Peace
Corps will provide records, information,
or data to CMS for verifying eligibility
for Minimum Essential Coverage
through a Peace Corps Health Benefits
Plan. The data will be used by CMS in
its capacity as a Federally-facilitated
Exchange, and agencies administering
insurance affordability programs that
will receive the results of verifications
using PC data obtained through the CMS
Data Services Hub.
Data will be matched for the purpose
of verifying an Applicant or Enrollee’s
eligibility for PC Health Benefit Plans
that constitute minimum essential
coverage as defined in § 5000A(f) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, 26
U.S.C. 5000A, as amended by § 1501 of
the ACA.
