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) 498-1210. 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: Cholera and Other Vibrio Illness Surveillance 
Report (OMB 0920-0322)--Extension--National Center for Infectious 
Diseases (NCID), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 
Vibrio species are naturally occurring marine bacteria and an important 
cause of seafoodborne and wound associated illnesses. Certain Vibrio 
species (e.g., V. cholera, V. parahemolyticus) cause dehydrating 
diarrheal illnesses. In addition to endemic cholera in the United 
States, illnesses caused by epidemic strains of cholera are reported 
among travelers returning from southern Asia and Latin America.
    The data collected in this surveillance provides important 
information on the public health impact of vibriosis in the Gulf Coast 
States. FDA, which has regulatory responsibility for the safety of 
seafood, has requested these data to identify interventions that may 
reduce the burden of seafoodborne vibriosis. The data are also of 
interest to public and industry groups such as the Interstate Shellfish 
Sanitation Conference and the National Fisheries Institute.
    The annual burden hours are estimated to be 50.
