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 Outbreak Reporting System (NORS)''
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 June 16, 2025 to obtain
comments from the public and affected agencies. CDC received one
comment 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 <a href="http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain">www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain</a>. 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 Outbreak Reporting System (OMB Control No. 0920-1304, Exp.
8/31/2025)--Revision--National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic
Infectious Diseases (NCEZID), Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The National Outbreak Reporting System (NORS) is a web-based
platform that is used by local, state, and territorial health
departments in the United States to report all waterborne and foodborne
disease outbreaks, certain fungal disease outbreaks, and enteric
disease outbreaks transmitted by contact with environmental sources,
infected persons or animals, or unknown modes of transmission to the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. CDC analyzes outbreak data
to determine trends and develop and refine recommendations for
prevention and control of foodborne, waterborne, and enteric disease
outbreaks, as well as certain fungal disease outbreaks.
NORS data are currently transmitted to CDC through a secure, web-
based reporting system hosted by CDC (ITSO/AHB). Starting approximately
October 2025, NORS will become a module housed in the One CDC Data
Platform (1CDP), which is a secure, cloud-based platform. Though a
paper form for NORS (attached) is available as a reference tool, no
paper forms are collected by CDC; all data must be submitted
electronically to CDC via the cloud-based platform. No changes have
been made to the data elements collected. Minor clarifications have
been made to the description of select fields to ensure compliance with
Executive Order 14168: Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism
And Restoring Biological Truth To The Federal Government.
CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 1,160 annual burden
hours. There is no cost to respondents other than their time to
participate.
