Case Reports—Revision— (NCID), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description Formal surveillance of 18 separate reportable diseases has been ongoing to meet the public demand and scientific interest in accurate, consistent, epidemiologic data. These ongoing disease reports include: Active Bacterial Core Surveillance (ABCs), CreutzfeldtJakob Disease (CJD), Cyclospora, Dengue, Hantavirus, Idiopathic CD4+Tlymphocytopenia, Kawasaki Syndrome, Legionellosis, Lyme disease, Malaria, Plague, Q Fever, Reye Syndrome, Tickborne Rickettsial Disease, Trichinosis, Tularemia, Typhoid Fever, and Viral Hepatitis. Tularemia is a new addition to this submission. Case report forms from state and territorial health departments enable CDC to collect demographic, clinical, and laboratory characteristics of cases of these diseases. This information is used 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.

Proposed Project Collection of Customer Survey Data Pertaining to the CDC Web site—New— National Center for Health Marketing (NCHM), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description Executive Order 12862 directs agencies that provide significant services directly to the public to survey customers to determine the kind and quality of services they need and their level of satisfaction with existing PO 00000 Frm 00031 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 services. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National Center for Health Marking (NCHM), seeks to obtain approval to conduct customer satisfaction surveys and usability tests of the CDC Web site, https://www.cdc.gov on an ongoing basis. By collecting customer satisfaction and Web site usability information, CDC will be enabled to serve, and respond to, the ever-changing demands of website users. These users include individuals (patients, educators, students, etc.), interested communities, partners, healthcare providers, and businesses. Survey information will augment current Web content, delivery, and design research which is used to understand the Web user, and more specifically, the CDC user community. Primary objectives are to ensure: (1) CDC’s Web site meets its customer needs and (2) the Web site meets the wants, preferences, and needs of its target audiences. Findings will help to: (1) Understand the user community and how to better serve Internet users; (2) discover areas requiring improvement in either content or delivery; (3) determine how to align Web offerings with identified user need(s); and (4) explore methods for offering, presenting and delivering information most effectively. There are no costs to respondents other than their time. E:\FR\FM\08DEN1.SGM 08DEN1
