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 CryptoNet Case Report Form. The CryptoNet Case Report Form will be used by federal, state, and local public health officials responsible for conducting interviews with reported cases of cryptosporidiosis in their jurisdiction in order to systematically assess core exposure elements and risk factors among cases of cryptosporidiosis.

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 CryptoNet Case Report Form. The CryptoNet Case Report Form will
be used by federal, state, and local public health officials
responsible for conducting interviews with reported cases of
cryptosporidiosis in their jurisdiction in order to systematically
assess core exposure elements and risk factors among cases of
cryptosporidiosis.
DATES: CDC must receive written comments on or before December 20,
2024.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. CDC-2024-
0077 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.

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
CryptoNet Case Report Form (OMB Control No. 0920-1360, Exp. 1/31/
2025)--Revision--National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious
Diseases (NCEZID), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Waterborne Disease Prevention Branch (WDPB) in the Division of
Foodborne, Waterborne, and Environmental Diseases (DFWED) works to
prevent domestic and global water-related diseases. The WDPB is
comprised of five teams, including the Domestic Waterborne Disease
Epidemiology and Response (WDER) Team, which focuses on the prevention
and control of waterborne-related diseases and outbreaks in the United
States. One of the diseases included in the team's work is
cryptosporidiosis, an acute diarrheal disease caused by infection with
Cryptosporidium parasites. The Case Surveillance Program is a subunit
within the Domestic WDER Team that focuses on the data collection and
management activities of five waterborne diseases, including
cryptosporidiosis, in the United States. The Case Surveillance
Program's current scope of work includes modernizing data collection
and management, enabling data connections, and improving public data
access to aid public health action.
CryptoNet is the first molecular tracking system for
Cryptosporidium in
[[Page 84145]]
the United States. To meet the needs of the CryptoNet and Case
Surveillance Program, and the needs of local officials, the CryptoNet
case report form (CRF) was developed. The CRF includes a set of data
elements that can be used to identify exposures trends in outbreak- and
non-outbreak-associated Cryptosporidium cases, to generate hypotheses
about the sources of infection in clusters or outbreaks, and to
identify strategies to prevent and control Cryptosporidium cases,
clusters, or outbreaks.
Data from the CRF will be used by federal, state, and local public
health officials responsible for conducting interviews with reported
cases of cryptosporidiosis in their jurisdiction in order to
systemically assess core exposure elements and risk factors among cases
of cryptosporidiosis. Collected data will be used by CDC staff to
inform cryptosporidiosis sporadic case, cluster, and outbreak
prevention and control strategies. CRF data elements and the CRF were
designed for administration via telephone interviews with individuals
ill with cryptosporidiosis, or their designated proxy.
CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 125 burden hours.
Providing information is voluntary, and there are no costs to
respondents other than their time.
