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
the CDC Reports Clearance Officer at (404) 639-5960 or send an e-mail
to [email protected]. Send written comments to CDC Desk Officer, Office of
Management and Budget, Washington, DC or by fax to (202) 395-5806.
Written comments should be received within 30 days of this notice.
Proposed Project
National Disease Surveillance Program II. Disease Summaries (OMB
No. 0920-0004 Exp. 5/31/2010)--Extension--National Center for Emerging
and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (NCEZID) (proposed), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Surveillance of the incidence and distribution of disease has been
an important function of the U.S. Public Health Service (PHS) since
1878. Through the years, PHS/CDC has formulated practical methods of
disease control through field investigations. The CDC National Disease
Surveillance Program is based on the premise that diseases cannot be
diagnosed, prevented, or controlled until existing knowledge is
expanded and new ideas developed and implemented. Over the years, the
mandate of CDC has broadened to include preventive health activities
and the surveillance systems maintained have expanded. CDC and the
Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE) collect data on
disease and preventable conditions in accordance with jointly approved
plans. Changes in the surveillance program and in reporting methods are
effected in the same manner. At the onset of this surveillance program
in 1968, the CSTE and CDC decided on which diseases warranted
surveillance. These diseases are reviewed and revised based on
variations in the public's health. Surveillance forms are distributed
to the State and local health departments who voluntarily submit these
reports to CDC at variable frequencies, either weekly or monthly. CDC
then calculates and publishes weekly statistics via the Morbidity and
Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR), providing the states with timely
aggregates of their submissions.
The following diseases/conditions are included in this program:
Diarrheal disease surveillance (includes campylobacter, salmonella, and
shigella), foodborne outbreaks, arboviral surveillance (ArboNet),
Influenza virus, including the annual survey and influenza-like
illness, Respiratory and Enterovirus surveillance, rabies, waterborne
diseases, cholera and other vibrio illnesses, Listeria, Calcinet,
Harmful Algal Bloom-related Infectious Surveillance System (HABISS)
data entry form, and the HABISS monthly reporting form. These data are
essential on the local, state, and Federal levels for measuring trends
in diseases, evaluating the effectiveness of current prevention
strategies, and determining the need for modifying current prevention
measures.
This request is for extension of the currently approved data
collection for three years. 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
estimated annualized burden hours are 22,356.
