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

Proposed Project
State-based Evaluation of the Alert
Notification Component of CDC’s
Epidemic Information Exchange (Epi-X)
Secure Public Health Communications
A central component of the CDC’s
mission is to strengthen the nation’s
public health infrastructure by
coordinating public health surveillance
at CDC and providing domestic and
international support through scientific
communications and terrorism
preparedness and emergency response.
The Epidemic Information Exchange
(Epi-X) provides CDC and its state and
local partners and collaborators with a
secure public health communications
network intended for routine and
emergent information exchange in a
secure environment.
Great attention has been focused on
improving secure public health
communications networks for the
dissemination of critical disease
outbreak and/or bioterrorism-related
events, which may have multijurisdictional involvement and cause
disease and death within a short timeframe.
The purpose of the information
gathered during this notification
proficiency testing exercise is to
evaluate the extent to which new
registrants and currently authorized
users of the Epidemic Information
Exchange (Epi-X) are able to utilize alert
notification functionality to minimize or
prevent unnecessary injury or diseaserelated morbidity and mortality through
the use of secure communications and
rapid notification systems. In this case,
notification alerts would be sent to
targeted public health professionals
through a ‘barrage’ of office cell phone,
home telephone, and pager calls to
rapidly inform key health authorities
from multidisciplinary backgrounds and
multiple jurisdictions of evolving and
critical public health information, and
assist with the decision making process.
Presently, the necessity of this
evaluation process is timely because of
ongoing terrorism threats and acts
perpetrated worldwide.
The survey information will be
gathered through an online
questionnaire format, and help evaluate
user comprehension and facility solely
with the targeted notification and rapid
alerting functionalities of Epi-X. The
questionnaire will consist of both
closed- and open-ended items, and will
be administered through Zoomerang, an
online questionnaire program, or as a
last resort, by telephone. Approximately
2,000 Epi-X users from every state of the
union will be asked to volunteer input
(in a 5–10 question format) about their
experiences using the alert notification
functionalities of the Epi-X
communications system.
There will be no cost to respondents,
whose participation will be strictly
voluntary. The total estimated burden
hours are 167.
