requirements which have subsequently
changed; train personnel to be able to
respond to a collection of information;
search data sources; complete and
review the collection of information;
and transmit or otherwise disclose the
information.
The ICR provides a detailed
explanation of the Agency’s estimate,
which is only briefly summarized here:
Estimated Number of Respondents:
This ICR estimates that approximately
177 Metropolitan Planning
Organizations will incur burden
associated with transportation
conformity requirements.
Frequency of Response: The
information collections described in this
ICR must be completed before a
transportation plan, TIP or project
conformity determination is made. Per
SAFETEA–LU and DOT’s planning
regulations, transportation plans and
TIPs must be updated at least every four
years; therefore, a conformity
determination on the transportation
plan and TIP in metropolitan areas is
required at least every four years.
Conformity determinations on projects
in metropolitan and isolated rural areas
are required on an as-needed basis.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
The ICR estimates a total annual burden
to all federal, state and local agency
respondents over the three-year period
covered by this ICR to be 70,189 hours/
year. Total annual burden for state and
local agencies alone is 53,818, while the
total annual burden for federal agency
respondents is 16,371.
Estimated Total Annual Cost: The
total annual cost to all federal, state and
local agency respondents over the threeyear period covered by this ICR is
estimated to be approximately
$3,876,133/year. The annual cost for all
state and local agencies is $2,956,224,
while the annual cost portion for federal
agency respondents is $899,259.
Changes in the Estimates: There is an
increase of 29,063 hours in the total
estimated state, local, and federal
agency respondent burden compared
with that identified in the ICR currently
approved by OMB. This increase reflects
the following adjustments and program
changes:
(1) Program change associated with
transfer of DOT ICR (OMB #2132–0529)
to EPA ICR 2130.03.
(2) Adjustments associated with the
implementation of transportation
conformity provisions in SAFETEA–LU.
(3) Reduced burden from the previous
ICR, which included substantial start-up
burden for areas that had never done
transportation conformity prior to PM2.5
and 8-hour ozone NAAQS. These areas
now have experience with conformity.

Jkt 211001
(4) Other factors that have been
updated since the existing ICR was
approved.
III. What Is the Next Step in the Process
for This ICR?
EPA will consider any comments we
receive and amend the EPA ICR as
appropriate. The final ICR package will
then be submitted to OMB for review
and approval pursuant to 5 CFR
1320.12. At that time, EPA will issue
another Federal Register notice
pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to
announce the submission of the ICR to
OMB and the opportunity to submit
additional comments to OMB.
If you have any questions about this
ICR or the approval process, please
contact the technical person listed
under the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT section.

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) 639–5960 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
Weekly and Annual Morbidity and
Mortality Reports, 0920–0007–
Extension—National Center for Health
Marketing (NCHM), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (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
Service Act (42 U.S.C. 241).
In 1878, Congress authorized the U. S.
Marine Hospital Service (later renamed
the U.S. Public Health Service) to
collect morbidity reports on cholera,
smallpox, plague, and yellow fever from
U.S. consuls overseas; this information
was to be used for instituting quarantine
measures to prevent the introduction
and spread of these diseases into the
United States. In 1879, a specific
Congressional appropriation was made
for the collection and publication of
reports of these notifiable diseases.
Congress expanded the authority for
weekly reporting and publication in
1893 to include data from state and
municipal authorities throughout the
United States. To increase the
uniformity of the data, Congress enacted
a law in 1902 directing the Surgeon
General of the Public Health Service
(PHS) to provide forms for the collection
and compilation of data and for the
publication of reports at the national
level.
Reports on notifiable diseases were
received from very few states and cities
E:\FR\FM\19JYN1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 138 / Thursday, July 19, 2007 / Notices
prior to 1900, but gradually more states
submitted monthly and annual
summaries. In 1912, state and territorial
health authorities—in conjunction with
PHS—recommended immediate
telegraphic reports of five diseases and
monthly reporting by letter of 10
additional diseases, but it was not until
after 1925 that all states reported
regularly. In 1942, the collection,
compilation, and publication of
morbidity statistics, under the direction
of the Division of Sanitary Reports and
Statistics, PHS, was transferred to the
Division of Public Health Methods,
PHS.
A PHS study in 1948 led to a revision
of the morbidity reporting procedures,
and in 1949 morbidity reporting
activities were transferred to the
National Office of Vital Statistics.
Another committee in PHS presented a
revised plan to the Association of State
and Territorial Health Officers (ASTHO)
at its meeting in Washington, DC,
October 1950. ASTHO authorized a
Conference of State and Territorial
Epidemiologists (CSTE) for the purpose
of determining the diseases that should
be reported by the states to PHS.
Beginning in 1951, national meetings of
CSTE were held every two years until
1974, then annually thereafter.
In 1961, responsibility for the
collection of data on nationally
notifiable diseases and deaths in 122
U.S. cities was transferred from the
National Office of Vital Statistics to
CDC. For over 40 years the Morbidity
and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR)
has consistently served as the CDC
premier communication channel for
disease outbreaks and trends in health
and health behavior. The data collected
for publication in the MMWR provides
information which CDC and State
epidemiologists use to detail and more
effectively interrupt outbreaks.
Reporting also provides the timely
information needed to measure and
demonstrate the impact of changed
immunization laws or a new therapeutic
measure. Users of data include, but are
not limited to, congressional offices,
state and local health agencies, health
care providers, and other health related
groups.
The dissemination of public health
information is accomplished through
the MMWR series of publications. The
publications consist of the MMWR, the
CDC Surveillance Summaries, the
Recommendations and Reports, and the
Annual Summary of Notifiable Diseases.
There are no costs to respondents
except their time to participate in the
survey. The total estimated burden
hours are 4,927.
