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.

Proposed Project National HIV Behavioral Surveillance System (NHBS)—New—National Center for HIV, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHSTP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description The purpose of this data collection is to monitor behaviors related to Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection among persons at high risk for infection in the United States. The primary objectives of the system are to obtain data from samples of persons at risk to: (a) Describe the prevalence and trends in risk behaviors; (b) describe the prevalence of and trends in HIV testing and HIV infection; (c) describe the prevalence of and trends in use of HIV prevention services; (d) identify met and unmet needs for HIV prevention services in order to inform health departments, community based organizations, community planning groups and other stakeholders.

Data are collected through in-person interviews conducted with persons systematically selected from 25 Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) throughout the United States; these 25 MSAs were chosen based on having high AIDS prevalence. Persons at risk for HIV infection to be interviewed for NHBS include men who have sex with men (MSM), injecting drug users (IDU), and heterosexual persons living in census tracts that have high HIV/AIDS prevalence (HET). A brief screening interview will be used to determine eligibility for participation in the full survey. The data from the full survey will provide estimates of behavior related to the risk of HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases, prior testing for HIV, and use of HIV prevention services. All persons interviewed will also be offered an HIV test, and will participate in a pre-test counseling session. No other federal agency systematically collects this type of information from persons at risk for HIV infection. This data will have substantial impact on prevention program development and monitoring at the local, state, and national levels. CDC estimates that NHBS will involve, per year in each of the 25 MSAs, eligibility screening for 50 to 200 persons and eligibility screening plus the survey and HIV testing with 500 eligible respondents, resulting in a total of 37,500 eligible survey respondents E:\FR\FM\19JAN1.SGM 19JAN1

    National Disease Surveillance Program--II. Disease Summaries (0920-
0004)--Revision--National Center for Preparedness, Detection, and 
Control of Infectious Diseases (proposed) (NCPDCID), Centers for 
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    Surveillance of the incidence and distribution of disease has been 
an important function of the U.S. Public Health Service (PHS) since 
1878. Through the years, PHS/CDC has formulated practical methods of 
disease 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

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
