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 Office on (404) 639-7090. Send written 
comments to CDC, Desk Officer; Human Resources and Housing Branch, New 
Executive Office Building, Room 10235; Washington, DC 20503. Written 
comments should be received within 30 days of this notice.

Proposed Project

    1. Congenital Syphilis Case Investigation and Report Form (CDC 
73.126 REV 09-91)-(0920-0128). This request is for a 3-year extension 
of clearance. Reducing congenital syphilis (CS) is a national objective 
in the DHHS Report entitled Healthy People 2000: Midcourse Review and 
1995 Revisions. Objective 19.4 of this document states the goal: 
``reduce congenital syphilis to an incidence of no more than 40 cases 
per 100,000 live births'' by the year 2000. In order to meet this 
national objective, an effective surveillance system for CS must be 
continued in order to monitor current levels of disease and progress 
towards the year 2000 objective. This data will also be used to develop 
intervention strategies and to evaluate ongoing control efforts. The 
total annual burden hours are 500.
