In compliance with the requirement
of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 for
opportunity for public comment on
proposed data collection projects, the
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) will publish periodic
summaries of proposed projects. To
request more information on the
proposed projects or to obtain a copy of
the data collection plans and
instruments, call 404–639–5960 and

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
Conduct a Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Registry Pilot Test (Bibb County,
Georgia)—New—National Center for
Infectious Diseases (NCID) Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
CDC is tasked with establishing a
registry of chronic fatigue syndrome
(CFS) and other fatiguing illnesses. The
objective of the registry is to identify
persons with unexplained fatiguing
illnesses, including CFS, who access the
healthcare system because of their
symptoms. Patients will be between the
ages of 12 and 59, inclusive.
Specific aims of the registry are: (1)
Identify and enroll patients with CFS
and other unexplained fatiguing
illnesses who are receiving medical and
ancillary medical care and describe
their epidemiologic and clinical
characteristics; (2) follow CFS patients
and patients with other fatiguing
illnesses over time to characterize the
natural history of CFS and other
unexplained fatiguing illnesses; (3)
assess and monitor health care
providers’ knowledge, attitudes, and
beliefs concerning CFS; (4) and to
identify well-characterized CFS patients
for clinical studies and intervention
trials. These specific aims require
inclusion of subjects in early stages of
CFS (i.e., ill less than one year duration)
who can be followed longitudinally to

assess changes in their CFS symptoms.
Data on persons with CFS in the general
population has been collected in a
separate study and is not an objective of
this Registry.
In order to determine the most
effective and cost-efficient design for
achieving the objective and specific
aims, CDC will conduct a pilot test of
the Registry of CFS and other fatiguing
illnesses in Bibb County, Georgia. The
CFS Registry Pilot Test will assess two
Registry designs for efficacy and
efficiency in identifying adult and
adolescent subjects with CFS who are
receiving medical and ancillary medical
care. Specifically, the CFS Registry Pilot
Test will evaluate surveillance of
patients with CFS identified through
physician practices and a surveillance
of CFS patients identified by physicians
and other health care providers.
The proposed study will begin when
a provider refers a patient to the
registry. Patients who consent to be
contacted for the registry will be asked
to complete a detailed telephone
interview that screens for medical and
psychiatric eligibility. Eligible subjects
will be invited to have a clinical
evaluation that comprises a physical
examination; collection of blood, urine,
and saliva specimens; a mental health
interview; and self-administered
questionnaires.
There is no cost to respondents other
than their time. Patients who are
clinically evaluated will be reimbursed
for their time and effort. The total
annualized burden hours are 2,557.
