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.

Proposed Project
National Disease Surveillance Program I--Case Reports (OMB No.
0920-0009, exp. 3/31/2010)--Revision--National Center for Zoonotic,
Vector-borne, and Enteric Diseases (NCZVED), 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), Cyclospora, Dengue, Hantavirus,
Kawasaki Syndrome, Legionellosis, Lyme disease, Malaria, Plague, Q
Fever, Reye Syndrome, Tickborne Rickettsial Disease, Trichinosis,
Tularemia, Typhoid Fever, and Viral Hepatitis. The Active Bacterial
Surveillance (ABCs) forms were removed in 2007 and were approved as
separate documents under OMB control number 0920-0802. Case report
forms from state and territorial health departments enable CDC to
collect demographic, clinical, and laboratory characteristics of cases
of these diseases. This revision incorporates the removal of the ABCs
surveillance forms and minor changes to the Malaria surveillance form.
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 estimated annualized burden for
this data collection is 11,441 hours.
