Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) publishes a
list of information collection requests under review by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) in compliance with the Paperwork Reduction
Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request a copy of these requests, call
(404) 639-7570 or send an email to [email protected]. Send written comments
to CDC Desk Officer, Office of Management and Budget, Washington, DC
20503 or by fax to (202) 395-5806. Written comments should be received
within 30 days of this notice.
Proposed Project
National Disease Surveillance Program (OMB No. 0920-0009 Expiration
4/30/2013)--Revision--National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic
Infectious Diseases (NCEZID), Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Formal surveillance of 16 separate reportable diseases has been
ongoing to meet the public demand and scientific interest in accurate,
consistent, epidemiologic data. These ongoing disease reports include:
Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD), Cyclosporiasis, Dengue, Hantavirus,
Kawasaki Syndrome, Legionellosis, Lyme disease, Malaria, Plague, Q
Fever, Reye Syndrome, Tickborne Rickettsial Disease, Trichinosis,
Tularemia, Typhoid Fever, and Viral Hepatitis. Case report forms from
state and territorial health departments enable CDC to collect
demographic, clinical, and laboratory characteristics of cases of these
diseases. We are requesting changes to the Legionellois form that will
allow CDC to better detect potential clusters and outbreaks of
Legionnaires' disease and to monitor changing epidemiological trends by
collecting a greater level of detail for each legionellosis case. The
burden to the respondents should be minimally affected by these
proposed changes.
The purpose of the proposed study is to direct epidemiologic
investigations, identify and monitor trends in reemerging infectious
diseases or emerging modes of transmission, to search for possible
causes or sources of the diseases, and develop guidelines for
prevention and treatment. The data collected will also be used to
recommend target areas most in need of vaccinations for selected
diseases and to determine development of drug resistance. Because of
the distinct nature of each of the diseases, the number of cases
reported annually is different for each. There is no cost to
respondents other than their time. The total burden requested is 11,447
hours.
