Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review

    In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers 
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has submitted the information 
collection request titled ``National Disease Surveillance Program II. 
Disease Summaries'' to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for 
review and approval. CDC previously published a ``Proposed Data 
Collection Submitted for Public Comment and Recommendations'' notice on 
September 16, 2022 to obtain comments from the public and affected 
agencies. CDC received 2 comments related to the previous notice. This 
notice serves to allow an additional 30 days for public and affected 
agency comments.
    CDC will accept all comments for this proposed information 
collection project. The Office of Management and Budget is particularly 
interested in comments that:
    (a) Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, 
including whether the information will have practical utility;
    (b) Evaluate the accuracy of the agencies estimate of the burden of 
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used;
    (c) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to 
be collected;
    (d) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those 
who are to respond, including, through the use of appropriate 
automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection 
techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting 
electronic submission of responses; and
    (e) Assess information collection costs.
    To request additional information on the proposed project or to 
obtain a copy of the information collection plan and instruments, call 
(404) 639-7570. Comments and recommendations for the proposed 
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of 
this notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find this particular 
information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--
Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function. Direct 
written comments and/or suggestions regarding the items contained in 
this notice to the Attention: CDC Desk Officer, Office of Management 
and Budget, 725 17th Street NW, Washington, DC 20503 or by fax to (202) 
395-5806. Provide written comments within 30 days of notice 
publication.

Proposed Project

    National Disease Surveillance Program II. Disease Summaries (OMB 
Control No. 0920-0004)--Reinstatement--National Center for Immunization 
and Respiratory Diseases (NCIRD), Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    CDC requests a three year approval for the Reinstatement of the 
National Disease Surveillance Program II. Disease Summaries information 
collection. As with the previous approval, these data are essential for 
measuring trends in diseases, evaluating the effectiveness of current 
preventive strategies, and determining the need to modify current 
preventive measures. Diseases included in this surveillance program are 
Influenza Virus, Caliciviruses, Respiratory and Enteric Viruses, 
Arthropod-Borne Diseases, Parechoviruses and Enteroviruses. The 
proposed Reinstatement with Change includes eight influenza forms, 
Suspect Respiratory Virus Patient Form, Middle East Respiratory 
Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS) Patient Under Investigation (PUI) Form, 
Viral Gastroenteritis Outbreak Submission Form, National Respiratory 
and Enteric Virus Surveillance System (NREVSS) Laboratory Assessment, 
and National Enterovirus Surveillance Report. These forms have minor 
edits with minor burden change from last OMB approval. Additionally, 
CDC requests the use of four new forms, Aggregate case counts of 
persons exposed to Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI), Pediatric 
Hepatitis of Unknown Etiology Medical Record Abstraction Short Form, 
Pediatric Hepatitis of Unknown Etiology Medical Record Abstraction Form 
(CRF) and Arthropod (Vector)-Borne Diseases (Non-Human Data). The data 
from the new forms will enable rapid detection and characterization of 
outbreaks of known pathogens, as well as potential newly emerging viral 
pathogens.
    The frequency of response for each form will depend on the disease 
and surveillance need. This represents an increase of 2,657 burden 
hours since last approval. This change in burden hours is attributed 
primarily to the discontinuation of previously approved forms, 
formatting changes to existing forms, and the addition of four new 
forms. The total burden estimate for all collection instruments in this 
reinstatement request is 27,458. There is no cost to respondents other 
than their time.
