Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork
Reduction Act Review
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) publishes a list of
information collection requests under
review by the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) in compliance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35). To request a copy of these
requests, call the CDC Reports Clearance
Officer at (404) 371–5960 or send an email to omb@cdc.gov. Send written
comments to CDC Desk Officer, Office of
Management and Budget, Washington,
DC or by fax to (202) 395–6974. Written
comments should be received within 30
days of this notice.
Proposed Project
The National Electronic Disease
Surveillance System (NEDSS)—New—
National Center for Public Health
Informatics (NCPHI), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
CDC is responsible for the collection
and dissemination of nationally
notifiable diseases information and for
monitoring and reporting the impact of
epidemic influenza on mortality, Public
Health Services Act (42 U.S.C. 241).
Since April 1984, CDC Epidemiology
Program Office (EPO) has been working
PO 00000
Frm 00044
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
with the Council of State and Territorial
Epidemiologists (CSTE) to demonstrate
the efficiency and effectiveness of
computer transmission of surveillance
data between CDC and the state health
departments.
By 1989, all 50 states were using this
computerized disease surveillance
system, which was then renamed the
National Electronic
Telecommunications System for
Surveillance (NETSS) to reflect its
national scope (OMB numbers 0920–
0447 and 0920–0007).
Beginning in 1999, CDC,
Epidemiology Program Office (EPO)
worked with CSTE, state and local
public health system staff, and other
CDC disease prevention and control
program staff to identify information
categories and information technology
standards to support integrated disease
surveillance. That effort is now focused
on development and completion of the
National Electronic Disease Surveillance
System (NEDSS), coordinated by CDC’s
National Center for Public Health
Informatics, Division of Integrated
Surveillance Systems and Services
(DISSS).
States will continue to use portions of
NETSS to transmit data to CDC. One of
the reasons for providing NETSS to
NEDSS data mapping is to identify what
data elements in NETSS correspond to
data elements in NEDSS. Those
elements mapped from NETSS to
NEDSS were collected in OMB number
0920–0007.
NEDSS will electronically integrate
and link together a wide variety of
surveillance activities and will facilitate
more accurate and timely reporting of
disease information to CDC and state
and local health departments.
Consistent with recommendations
supported by our state and local
surveillance partners and described in
the 1995 report, Integrating Public
Health Information and Surveillance
Systems, NEDSS will include data
standards, an internet based
communications infrastructure built on
industry standards, and policy-level
agreements on data access, sharing,
burden reduction, and protection of
confidentiality.
To support NEDSS, CDC is
developing an information system, the
NEDSS Base System, which will use
NEDSS technical and information
standards (https://www.cdc.gov/nedss/
BaseSystem/
NEDSSBaseSysDescription.pdf).
Currently 11 states participate in
NEDSS. It is expected that 4 additional
states will be added by the end of the
first year after OMB approval.
Thereafter, it is estimated that 5 states

27263
Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 90 / Wednesday, May 10, 2006 / Notices
will be added in years 2 and 3,
depending on funding.
CDC is requesting a three-year OMB
clearance of collecting the NEDSS data
that is not currently covered by existing
clearances. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time. The
average total annualized burden for the
Weekly Morbidity Reports and the
Annual Summary Report is 660 hours.
