SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 PRA
44 U.S.C. 35013520, Federal agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget OMB for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor.

To comply with this requirement, we are publishing this notice of a proposed data collection as described below.
The OMB is particularly interested in comments that will help:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information will have practical utility;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the agencys estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information,

Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submissions of responses.
5. Assess information collection costs.
Proposed Project National Syringe Services Program SSP EvaluationNewNational Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention NCHHSTP, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention CDC.
Background and Brief Description The primary purpose of the National Syringe Services Program SSP
Evaluation is to strengthen and improve the capacity of SSPs to conduct regular monitoring and evaluation to ensure that comprehensive prevention services are provided to meet the needs of people who inject drugs PWID and reduce infectious disease and other harms related to intravenous drug use IDU. The project will invite the participation of all SSPs that are listed in a publicly available directory of all known SSPs in the United States maintained by the North American Syringe Exchange Network NASEN;
https nasen.org. SSPs will be sent a letter of invitation to participate in a 35minute program survey. Participating programs will have the option of completing the survey via different modalities to enhance feasibility and comfort in completing the survey, for example via the Research Electronic Data Capture REDCap or a similarly secure web-based application. Other modalities for survey administration will include a coordinated telephone or videoconferencing interview. SSPs will be sent reminder letters for an approximately three-month data collection period. SSPs that do not respond to prior reminders will be sent one final reminder, and if the SSP still does not want to participate, one optional question on why the SSP did not complete the survey will be offered.
The survey will include questions on operational characteristics and services, client characteristics and drug use patterns, client satisfaction, funding resources, community relations, and key operational successes and challenges.
