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 ESTIMATED ANNUALIZED BURDEN HOURS Number of respondents Number of responses per respondent Average burden per response (in hours) Form name Type of respondent ABCs Case Report Form ........................................................

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.

This is not a toll-free call. Further information will also be available at local USCIS offices upon publication of this Notice and on the USCIS Web site at https://www.uscis.gov.
