Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 235 / Thursday, December 8, 2005 / Notices An average of 516 construction workers would be at the site during the construction period; approximately 1,000 workers would be required during the peak construction period. Demonstration (including performance testing and monitoring) would be conducted over a 3-year period. If the demonstration is successful, commercial operation would follow immediately. About 250 workers would be required during the demonstration, and 150 workers would be needed for long-term operations. Proposed emissions from the facility would be small, especially for sulfur dioxide (SO 2), because most of the sulfur would be removed from the synthesis gas prior to conveying the gas to the F–T liquefaction facilities and the combined cycle power plant. The use of anthracite culm would reduce waste disposal from operating mines and allow reclamation of land currently stock piled with culm.

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. E:\FR\FM\08DEN1.SGM 08DEN1
