Abstract: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) requests approval for revisions to the National HIV Surveillance System (NHSS) expiring on 02/29/2016. The HIV Incidence and Case Surveillance Branch, partners with health departments in the states, D.C., and U.S. dependent areas to report cases of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, inclusive of data across the spectrum of disease from diagnosis to death. Revisions to this ICR include the addition of annual reporting hours for completing a Standards Evaluation Report (SER) and an Annual Performance Report (APR). In addition, modifications to currently collected data elements and forms including the Adult Case Report Form (ACRF), Pediatric Case Report Form (PCRF) and the Perinatal HIV Exposure Reporting (PHER) Form are also requested.

Short Statement: Program is requesting a non-substantial change request to the annual performance report (APR) to align with our new period of funding under a new cooperative agreement. This new cooperative agreement integrates funding for HIV surveillance and prevention for health departments to implement a comprehensive HIV surveillance and prevention program to prevent new HIV infections and achieve viral suppression among persons living with HIV. PS 18 1802 requires the recipients to report annually on progress made during the reporting period (Annual Performance Report). For PS 18 1802 health departments will begin reporting their progress using the currently approved Performance Progress and Monitoring Report (PPMR) form OMB #0920-1132 expiration (08/31/2019) provided in Attachment 1 for this request. Using this form will simplify annual progress reporting for health departments and will be a familiar format for health departments who may be using this form for annual program reporting under other CDC cooperative agreements. We anticipate using the revised version of the form if revised in 2019. Removal of the line item for the APR in our burden table reduces the overall burden.
