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 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.
