Background and Brief Description Section 212(a)(1) of the Immigration and Nationality Act states that aliens with specific health related conditions are ineligible for admission into the United States. The Attorney General may waive application of this inadmissibility on health-related grounds if an application for waiver is filed and approved by the consular office considering the application for visa. CDC uses this application primarily to collect information to establish and maintain records of waiver applicants in order to notify the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services when terms, conditions and controls imposed by waiver are not met. CDC is requesting approval from OMB to collect this data for another 3 years. There are no costs to respondents except their time to complete the application.

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 differently in each surveillance area, for example, through
the cooperation of on-site 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 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.
