CDC Assistant Reports Clearance

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
and clinical research. A minimum of
essential information is collected
regarding the deceased miners,
including occupational history and
smoking history. The data collected will
be used by the staff at NIOSH for
research purposes in defining the
diagnostic criteria for coal workers’
pneumoconiosis (black lung disease)
and pathologic changes and will be
correlated with x-ray findings.
It is estimated that only 5 minutes is
required for the pathologist to generate
a statement on the invoice affirming that
no other compensation is received for
the autopsy. The consent release and
history form takes the next-of-kin
approximately 15 minutes to complete.
Since an autopsy report is routinely
completed by a pathologist, the only
additional burden is the specific request
of abstract of terminal illness and final
diagnosis relating to pneumoconiosis.
Therefore, only 5 minutes of additional
burden is estimated for the autopsy
report. There are no costs to the
respondents, other than their time.

Management) in Improving Access and

Background and Brief Description
Spina bifida is one of the most
common birth defects, affecting
approximately 2 per 10,000 live births
in the United States annually. Providing
care for people who are born with spina
bifida is complex and challenging.
Studies have shown that care
coordination is beneficial for
individuals with complex health
conditions such as cystic fibrosis and
sickle cell anemia. However, the extent
to which care coordination is effective
for assisting individuals with spina
bifida is currently unknown. To learn
