Proposed Project
Congenital Syphilis (CS) Case Investigation and Report Form
(CDC73.126), OMB No. 0920-0128--revision--National Center for HIV/AIDS,
Viral Hepatitis, Sexually Transmitted Diseases, and Tuberculosis
Prevention, (NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC).

Background and Brief Description
Reducing congenital syphilis is a national objective in the DHHS
Report entitled ``Healthy People 2010 (Vol. I and II)''. Objective 25-9
of the DHHS document states the goal to ``reduce congenital syphilis to
1 new case per 100,000 live births''. In order to meet this national
objective, an effective surveillance system for congenital syphilis
must be continued to monitor current levels of disease and progress
towards the year 2010 objective. The purpose of the revision is to
accommodate minor change to the ``Congenital Syphilis (CS) Case
Investigation and Report Form'' (CDC73.126). In the proposed revision,
the ``reporting city'' and ``resident city'' information blocks in the
``Congenital Syphilis (CS) Case Investigation and Report'' data
collection form will be removed because several states have begun to
use a 5-digit (rather than 4-digit) FIPS code for city, and CDC data
systems cannot accommodate the new codes.
The congenital syphilis data will continue to be used to develop
intervention strategies and to evaluate ongoing control efforts. There
is no cost to respondents other than their time.
