Proposed Project

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.

National HIV Prevention Program
Monitoring and Evaluation (NHM&E)
(OMB 0920–0696, Expiration 03/31/
2016)—Revision—National Center for
HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB
Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
CDC is requesting a 3-year approval
for revision to the previously approved
project. The purpose of this revision is
to continue collecting standardized HIV
prevention program evaluation data
from health departments and
community-based organizations (CBOs)
who receive federal funds for HIV
prevention activities. Grantees have the
option of key-entering or uploading data
to a CDC-provided web-based software
application (EvaluationWeb®).
This revision includes changes to the
data variables to adjust to the different
monitoring and evaluation needs of new
funding announcements without a
change in burden.
The evaluation and reporting process
is necessary to ensure that CDC receives
standardized, accurate, thorough
evaluation data from both health
department and CBO grantees. For these
reasons, CDC developed standardized
NHM&E variables through extensive
consultation with representatives from
health departments, CBOs, and national
partners (e.g., The National Alliance of
State and Territorial AIDS Directors,
Urban Coalition of HIV/AIDS
Prevention Services, and National
Minority AIDS Council).
CDC requires CBOs and health
departments who receive federal funds
for HIV prevention to report nonidentifying, client-level and aggregatelevel, standardized evaluation data to:
(1) Accurately determine the extent to
which HIV prevention efforts are carried
out, what types of agencies are
providing services, what resources are
allocated to those services, to whom
services are being provided, and how
these efforts have contributed to a
reduction in HIV transmission; (2)
improve ease of reporting to better meet
these data needs; and (3) be accountable
to stakeholders by informing them of
HIV prevention activities and use of
funds in HIV prevention nationwide.
CDC HIV prevention program grantees
will collect, enter or upload, and report
agency-identifying information, budget
data, intervention information, and
client demographics and behavioral risk
characteristics with an estimate of
200,846 burden hours. Data collection
will include searching existing data
sources, gathering and maintaining data,

Proposed Project
The National Survey of Family
Growth (NSFG)–(0920–0314, Expiration
04/30/2015—Revision—National Center
for Health Statistics (NCHS), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Section 306 of the Public Health
Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C. 242k), as
amended, authorizes that the Secretary
of Health and Human Services (DHHS),
acting through NCHS, shall collect
statistics on ‘‘family formation, growth,
and dissolution,’’ as well as
‘‘determinants of health’’ and
‘‘utilization of health care’’ in the
United States. This three-year clearance
request includes the data collection in
2015–2018 for the continuous NSFG.
The National Survey of Family
Growth (NSFG) was conducted
periodically between 1973 and 2002,
and continuously since 2006, by the
National Center for Health Statistics,
CDC. Each year, about 15,000
households are screened, with about
5,000 participants interviewed annually.
Participation in the NSFG is completely
voluntary and confidential. Interviews
average 60 minutes for males and 80
minutes for females. The response rate
since 2011 has been about 73 percent.

The NSFG program produces
descriptive statistics which measure
factors associated with birth and
pregnancy rates, including
contraception, infertility, marriage,
divorce, and sexual activity, in the U.S.
population 15–49; and behaviors that
affect the risk of sexually transmitted
diseases (STD), including HIV, and the
medical care associated with
contraception, infertility, and pregnancy
and childbirth.
NSFG data users include the DHHS
programs that fund it, including CDC/
NCHS and nine others (The Eunice
Kennedy Shriver National Institute of
Child Health and Human Development
(NIH/NICHD); the Office of Population
Affairs (DHHS/OPA); the Children’s
Bureau within the Administration for
Children and Families (DHHS/ACF/CB);
the ACF’s Office of Planning, Research,
and Evaluation (DHHS/ACF/OPRE); the
CDC’s Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention
(CDC/DHAP); the CDC’s Division of STD
Prevention (CDC/DSTDP); the CDC’s
Division of Cancer Prevention and
Control (CDC/DCPC); the CDC’s
Division of Birth Defects and
Developmental Disabilities (CDC/
DBDDD); and the CDC’s Division of
Reproductive Health (CDC/DRH). The
NSFG is also used by state and local
governments; private research and
action organizations focused on men’s
and women’s health, child well-being,
and marriage and the family; academic
researchers in the social and public
health sciences; journalists, and many
others.
No questionnaire changes are
requested in the first 6 months of this
clearance; limited changes including (1)
the expansion of the age range from 15–
44 years of age to 15–49, (2) some
revision of the female and male
questionnaires to incorporate new and
modified items related to contraceptive
use, reproductive health, preventive
service screening/counseling, sexual
orientation, health insurance, cigarette
smoking, cancer risk, military service
