Abstract: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) requests approval for revisions to a previously approved project 0920-0573 expiration 01/31/2013 called "National HIV Surveillance System (NHSS)" for a period of 3 years. The Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention (DHAP), National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), CDC in collaboration with health departments in the states, the D.C., and U.S. dependent areas, conducts national surveillance for cases of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection that includes critical data across the spectrum of HIV disease from HIV diagnosis, to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), the end-stage disease caused by infection with HIV, and death. The revisions requested in this extension include modifications to currently collected data elements and forms to align with anticipated changes in the case definitions for HIV surveillance to be published in 2012 and continuation of HIV surveillance activities funded under the new funding opportunity announcement CDC-RFA-PS13-1302 NATIONAL HIV SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM (NHSS). These include minor modifications of testing categories to accommodate new testing algorithms and modifications to staging criteria and non-substantial editorial changes aimed at improving the format and usability of the forms such as improved wording of terms and changes in the format of some response options. In addition, elements from the former enhanced perinatal surveillance (EPS) were reduced and the form is modified for continuation in 2013 as Perinatal HIV Exposure Reporting (PHER). Surveillance data collection on variant and atypical strains (formerly variant, atypical and resistant HIV surveillance (VARHS)) will also be continued as Molecular HIV Surveillance (MHS) with a reduced number of data elements previously approved under VARHS.

Short Statement: The requested burden for this project is 53,700 hours. The previous burden associated with this information collection was 51,311 hours. The requested total burden represents an approximate 5% increase. This small increase reflects reductions in some activities and increases in others and refinements in some of our calculations. Our estimate now reflects the stabilization of case reporting due to having mature reporting systems in all areas. Burden calculations in this revision were based on reported cases without any additional adjustments for areas without mature reporting systems. This resulted in a decrease in burden for adult and pediatric case reports and evaluations based on those reports. We anticipate increased reporting activities related to laboratory and other updates to cases reports. We refined our estimates for these updates to more accurately reflect the number of updates and considered the burden required for each method of update separately (primarily electronic or other methods). Burden estimates for incidence data collection increased due to a small refinement in our estimate. Additionally, burden associated with MHS activities (formerly VARHS) increased primarily due to expansion in the number of sites participating (from 11 to 53). There was an overall decrease in burden attributed to perinatal exposure reporting (PHER) (formerly EPS) which is primarily due to the reduction in data elements and burden time per response from 60 minutes to 30 minutes.
