control through field investigations. The
CDC National Disease Surveillance
Program is based on the premise that
diseases cannot be diagnosed,
prevented, or controlled until existing
knowledge is expanded and new ideas
developed and implemented. Over the
years, the mandate of CDC has
broadened to include preventive health
activities and the surveillance systems
maintained have expanded.
CDC and the Council of State and
Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE)
collect data on disease and preventable
conditions in accordance with jointly
approved plans. Changes in the
surveillance program and in reporting
methods are effected in the same
manner. At the onset of this surveillance
program in 1968, the CSTE and CDC
decided on which diseases warranted
surveillance. These diseases are
reviewed and revised based on
variations in the public’s health.
Surveillance forms are distributed to the
State and local health departments who
voluntarily submit these reports to CDC
at variable frequencies, either weekly or
monthly. CDC then calculates and
publishes weekly statistics via the
Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report
(MMWR), providing the states with
timely aggregates of their submissions.
The following diseases/conditions are
included in this program: Diarrheal
disease surveillance (includes
campylobacter, salmonella, and
shigella), foodborne outbreaks, arboviral
surveillance (ArboNet), Influenza virus
(includes the annual survey and
influenza-like illness), Respiratory and
Enterovirus surveillance, rabies,
waterborne diseases, cholera and other
vibrio illnesses, calicivirus surveillance,
and Listeria case form. These data are
essential on the local, state, and Federal
levels for measuring trends in diseases,
evaluating the effectiveness of current
prevention strategies, and determining
the need for modifying current
prevention measures.
This request is for approval of the
data collection for three years. 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. The total estimated annualized
burden hours are 21,107.
