Proposed Project
Active Bacterial Core Surveillance
(ABCs) Projects—New—National Center
for Immunization and Respiratory
Diseases (NCIRD), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Active Bacterial Core surveillance
(ABCs) is a core component of CDC’s
Emerging Infections Program Network
(EIP), a collaboration between CDC,
state health departments, and
universities. ABCs is an active
laboratory- and population-based
surveillance system for six invasive
bacterial pathogens of public health
importance (group A and group B
streptococcus, Haemophilus influenzae,
Neisseria meningitidis, Streptococcus
pneumoniae, and methicillin-resistant
Staphylococcus aureus). Case finding is
active and laboratory-based. Following
the identification of cases, a standard
case report is completed on all
identified cases through medical record
review. Data collection is performed
health practice. Current information on
disease incidence is needed to study
present and emerging disease problems.
The ABCs surveillance system provides
data for those engaged in research or
medical practice, health education
officials, and manufacturers of
pharmaceutical products which may
lead to effective prevention strategies
and enhanced interventions.
Respondents for each of the data
collection forms are state health
departments (California, Colorado,
Connecticut, Georgia, Maryland,
Minnesota, New Mexico, New York,
Oregon and Tennessee) who are
recipients of funding through the EIP
cooperative agreement. The number of
responses is dependent on the number
of cases that are identified. Number of
‘‘responses’’ for all case report forms
must be estimated not knowing before
hand how many cases will occur.
There are no costs to respondents
other than their time. The total
estimated annualized burden is 4918
hours.
differently in each surveillance area, for
example, through the cooperation of onsite hospital personnel (e.g., Infection
Control Practitioners or Medical
Records personnel); through medical
record review or clinician interview by
county health department personnel; or
through medical record review by
surveillance personnel. Case report
forms are entered into a secure
computerized database and maintained
at each surveillance site. The
computerized databases, with personal
identifiers removed, are transmitted to
CDC by the fifth of every month.
The data collection has important
practical utility to the government as
well as EIP populations and the
American population as a whole. ABCs
data is critical for documenting disease
burden and describing the epidemiology
of invasive bacterial disease, tracking
trends in antimicrobial resistance,
contributing to the development and
evaluation of new vaccines, developing
and assessing public health prevention
measures, and improving overall public

Extension of the Designation of Sudan
for Temporary Protected Status;
Automatic Extension of Employment
Authorization Documentation for
Sudanese TPS Beneficiaries
U.S. Citizenship and
Immigration Services, Department of
Homeland Security (DHS).
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: This Notice announces that
the Secretary of Homeland Security has
extended the designation of Sudan for
temporary protected status (TPS) for 18
months, from its current expiration date
of November 2, 2008 through May 2,
2010. This Notice also sets forth
procedures necessary for nationals of
Sudan (or aliens having no nationality
who last habitually resided in Sudan)
with TPS to re-register with U.S.
PO 00000
Frm 00028
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Citizenship and Immigration Services
(USCIS) and to apply for an extension
of their employment authorization
documents (EADs) for the additional 18month period. Re-registration is limited
to persons who have previously
registered for TPS under the designation
of Sudan and whose applications have
been granted or remain pending. Certain
nationals of Sudan (or aliens having no
nationality who last habitually resided
in Sudan) who have not previously
applied for TPS may be eligible to apply
under the late initial registration
provisions.
Given the timeframes involved with
processing TPS re-registration
applications, the Department of
Homeland Security (DHS) recognizes
the possibility that all re-registrants may
not receive new EADs until after their
current EADs expire on November 2,
2008. Accordingly, this Notice
automatically extends the validity of
EADs issued under the TPS designation
of Sudan for six months, through May
2, 2009, and explains how TPS
beneficiaries and their employers may
determine which EADs are
automatically extended. USCIS will
issue new EADs with the May 2, 2010
expiration date to eligible TPS
beneficiaries who timely re-register and
apply for EADs.
DATES: The extension of the TPS
designation of Sudan is effective
November 3, 2008, and will remain in
effect through May 2, 2010. The 60-day
re-registration period begins August 14,
2008, and will remain in effect until
October 14, 2008. To facilitate
processing of applications, applicants
are strongly encouraged to file as soon
as possible after the start of the 60-day
re-registration period beginning on
August 14, 2008.
