    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is seeking public comments on an information collection project called the "National Syringe Services Program (SSP) Evaluation." This project aims to assess the operation and effectiveness of SSPs, which provide services to individuals who inject drugs, in order to reduce the spread of infectious diseases. The survey will be voluntary and will take approximately 35 minutes to complete. The CDC hopes to gather detailed information from SSPs across the nation to improve program quality and effectiveness.
