and could affect our ability to monitor
trends in the prevalence of STDs.
The objectives of this proposed data
collection are to: (1) Collect information
about the volume of and type of testing
for chlamydia, gonorrhea, herpes
simplex virus (HSV), syphilis, human
papillomavirus (HPV), bacterial
vaginosis, trichomonas, and pap smears
performed in laboratories in calendar
year 2006 and (2) collect information
about antimicrobial susceptibility
testing for gonorrhea during the
calendar year 2006.
This survey will build on data
collected in 2004 by the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention on
laboratory test methods and the volume
of testing (Dicker et al. Testing for
Sexually Transmitted Diseases in the
U.S. Public Health Laboratories in 2004.
Sexually Transmitted Diseases. (43):1,
pg. 41–46, Jan. 2007).
CDC anticipates collecting this data
using an on-line survey of 150 public
health laboratories. The survey will take
approximately 25 minutes to complete.
The only cost to respondents is their
time to complete the survey.

Laboratory Methods Survey (OMB No.
0920–0677)—Extension—National
Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis,
STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Approximately 18.9 million new
cases of sexually transmitted diseases
(STDs) are estimated to occur each year
in the United States. Effective control
and prevention of STDs require prompt
diagnosis which relies on laboratory
testing, proper screening of those at risk,
and effective treatment. Thus, an
understanding of the current laboratory
testing practices for STDs in the U.S. is
critical, not only to monitor capacity but
to assess current practices of public
health and private laboratories to
appropriately test for these diseases.
Additionally, these testing practices
could affect the resources available to
public health departments for STD
screening and surveillance programs

Proposed Project
2005 Lead Disclosure Rule Public
Awareness Survey—Extension—
National Center for Environmental
Health (NCEH), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The proposed 2005 Lead Disclosure
Rule Public Awareness Survey assesses
small and medium-sized rental property
owners’ self-reported awareness of and
compliance with the Lead Disclosure
Rule. The Lead Disclosure Rule requires
property owners to disclose to
prospective tenants and buyers the
presence of lead paint and lead-based
paint hazards in residential properties
built before 1978, if known by the
owners. The rule was published under
the authority of Title X of the Housing
and Community Development Act of
1992 by the Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD) at 24 CFR
part 35, subpart A, and by the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
at 40 CFR 745, subpart F.

Childhood lead poisoning, while on
the decline, remains a threat to the
health and well-being of young children
across the United States. In accordance
with the Healthy People 2010 goal to
‘‘eliminate elevated blood lead levels in
children,’’ there is a need for primary
prevention of childhood lead poisoning.
Primary prevention is the removal of
lead hazards from a child’s environment
before the child is exposed. Ensuring
compliance with the Lead Disclosure
Rule is one component of a primary
prevention strategy.
As part of this evaluation effort, CDC
is interested in the perception of the
Lead Disclosure Rule by sectors of the
property owner population that have
been targeted less often for enforcement
of the rule. This survey of small and
medium-sized rental property owners
(owning fewer than 50 rental units) is
the first effort of its kind to capture this
particular population’s self-reported
awareness of and compliance with the
Lead Disclosure Rule.
Approval was granted for the
information collection request, set to
The population surveyed using this
questionnaire are small and medium
property owners who rent housing units
to tenants. These owners may not
consider themselves to be in business or
may not have leasing offices. Regardless,
they are technically small business
owners. They have been identified by
publicly-available tax assessor records.
A sample of 3,000 such owners will be
surveyed, with a likely response from
approximately 1,000 small and medium
property owners. We believe this is a
good use of public burden because this
particular population has never been
surveyed as to their awareness of and
compliance with the Lead Disclosure
Rule. The anticipated burden per
respondent has been kept to a minimum
by asking only a small number of
essential questions. Additionally, the
questionnaire is anonymous so that no
individual property owner or small
business can be identified. There is no
cost to the respondents other than their
time.
expire 01/31/2008. However, due to
unforeseeable and unavoidable delays
in coordinating the interventions, an
extension of the approved information
request is required to complete data
collection. An extension of 2 years is
requested to allow for further
unavoidable delays. There are no
proposed changes to the survey design
or questionnaire.
The survey was to be administered
twice in four U.S. cities during 2005 and
2006. Two of the cities are involved in
a compliance assistance and
enforcement intervention by HUD. The
other two cities are control cities
(without such an intervention). For all
four cities, CDC is conducting a crosssectional, ‘‘before and after’’ study
design. Each respondent is surveyed
only once, and participation is
voluntary. Respondents are asked to
complete a brief written survey and
return the survey anonymously via the
addressed, stamped envelope CDC will
provide. There is no cost to respondents
except the time to complete the survey.

Background and Brief Description
Currently, there is scientific debate
about the value of lung cancer
screening. For people in whom lung
cancer is found and treated at an early,
localized stage, the five-year survival
rate is roughly 49%. However, only 16%
of people with lung cancer are
diagnosed at this early, localized stage.
Screening for lung cancer using chest
x-rays (CXR) was widely practiced, but
studies have shown that CXR with or
without sputum cytology does not
reduce mortality from lung cancer.
Studies are currently underway to
provide more information about the
effectiveness of other types of screening
tests, such as computed tomography
(CT) scans and spiral CT scans.
The purpose of this project is to
conduct formative research to gather
information from adult consumers and
primary care physicians about
experiences and practices related to
lung cancer screening and testing as
well as their knowledge, attitudes, and
behaviors related to preventive cancer
