Abstract
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as part of its continuing effort to reduce public burden and maximize the utility of government information, invites the general public and other federal agencies the opportunity to comment on a continuing information collection, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This notice invites comment on a proposed information collection project titled National Disease Surveillance Program--II. Disease Summaries information collection. This collection is used to determine the prevalence of disease and for planning and evaluating programs for prevention and control of infectious diseases.

[60Day-22-0004; Docket No. CDC-2022-0108]
Proposed Data Collection Submitted for Public Comment and
Recommendations
AGENCY: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS).
ACTION: Notice with comment period.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as part
of its continuing effort to reduce public burden and maximize the
utility of government information, invites the general public and other
federal agencies the opportunity to comment on a continuing information
collection, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This
notice invites comment on a proposed information collection project
titled National Disease Surveillance Program--II. Disease Summaries
information collection. This collection is used to determine the
prevalence of disease and for planning and evaluating programs for
prevention and control of infectious diseases.
DATES: CDC must receive written comments on or before November 15,
2022.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. CDC-2022-
0108 by either of the following methods:
<bullet> Federal eRulemaking Portal: <a href="http://www.regulations.gov">www.regulations.gov</a> Follow the
instructions for submitting comments.
<bullet> Mail: Jeffrey M. Zirger, Information Collection Review
Office, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1600 Clifton Road
NE, MS H21-8, Atlanta, Georgia 30329.
Instructions: All submissions received must include the agency name
and Docket Number. CDC will post, without change, all relevant comments
to <a href="http://www.regulations.gov">www.regulations.gov</a>.
Please note: Submit all comments through the Federal eRulemaking
portal (<a href="http://www.regulations.gov">www.regulations.gov</a>) or by U.S. mail to the address listed
above.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To request more information on the
proposed project or to obtain a copy of the information collection plan

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), federal agencies must obtain approval from
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of
information they conduct or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also requires
federal agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of information, including each new
proposed collection, each proposed extension of existing collection of
information, and each reinstatement of previously approved information
collection before submitting the collection to the OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are publishing this notice of a
proposed data collection as described below.
The OMB is particularly interested in comments that will help:
1. 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;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected;
4. 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
submissions of responses; and
5. Assess information collection costs.
Proposed Project
National Disease Surveillance Program II--Disease Summaries (OMB
Control No. 0920-0004, Exp. 10/31/2020)--Reinstatement with Change--
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 with
Change 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.
Influenza Virus, Caliciviruses, Respiratory and Enteric Viruses are
associated with diseases in this surveillance program. Proposed changes
in this Reinstatements with Change
[[Page 56956]]
include the following: nine 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 will have minor edits with no burden
change from last OMB approval.
In addition to these changes, three new forms have been added
including an aggregate case count of persons exposed to Highly
Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) spreadsheet, Pediatric Hepatitis of
Unknown Etiology Medical Record Abstraction Form (CRF) and Pediatric
Hepatitis of Unknown Etiology Medical Record Abstraction short form
version. 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 NORS Foodborne Disease
Transmission, and Waterborne Diseases Transmission are discontinued in
this package, as they have been moved to the OMB-approved package for
National Outbreak Reporting System (NORS) (OMB Control No. 0920-1304).
The frequency of response for each form will depend on the disease
and surveillance need. CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated
24,320 annual burden hours. There is no additional cost to respondents
other than the time to participate.
