Proposed Project Registry of Unexplained Fatiguing Illnesses and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) in and around Bibb County, Georgia, (OMB No. 0920–0788)— Extension—National Center for Zoonotic, Vector-borne and Enteric Diseases (NCZVED), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description CDC has been conducting a providerbased Registry for unexplained fatiguing illnesses and CFS for almost one year. During this time, the objective of the registry was to identify persons with unexplained fatiguing illnesses, including CFS, who access the healthcare system and endorse referral criteria: Age 12 to 59 years with ≥1 month of severe fatigue plus one other core CFS symptom and no exclusionary conditions. Eligible patients undergo a telephone interview to assess symptoms and exclusionary criteria. If they meet age and exclusionary criteria and endorse ≥6 months of symptoms, they are invited for a 1-day clinical evaluation, including a physical exam, collection of specimens (blood, urine and saliva), and psychiatric interview to further assess exclusionary conditions, and answer self-administered questionnaires to measure symptoms, functioning and exposure to potential risk factors. Over 800 health-care providers of various medical and alternative medicine specialties have enrolled and have referred over 50 patients. CDC plans to continue to enroll patients in the Registry study using the same protocol. Specific aims of the E:\FR\FM\08JYN1.SGM 08JYN1 32614 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 129 / Wednesday, July 8, 2009 / Notices registry are: (1) Continue to identify and enroll patients with CFS and other unexplained fatiguing illnesses who are receiving medical and ancillary medical care and describe their epidemiologic and clinical characteristics; (2) assess and monitor the health care providers’ knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs concerning CFS; (3) and to identify well-characterized CFS patients for future clinical studies and intervention trials. These specific aims require inclusion of subjects in early stages of CFS (i.e., ill less than one year duration) who can be followed longitudinally to assess changes in their CFS symptoms; persons with longer duration of fatigue will also be eligible. There is no cost to respondents other than their time.

objective of the registry was to identify persons with unexplained 
fatiguing illnesses, including CFS, who access the healthcare system

registry are: (1) Continue to identify and enroll patients with CFS and 
other unexplained fatiguing illnesses who are receiving medical and 
ancillary medical care and describe their epidemiologic and clinical 
characteristics; (2) assess and monitor the health care providers' 
knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs concerning CFS; (3) and to identify 
well-characterized CFS patients for future clinical studies and 
intervention trials. These specific aims require inclusion of subjects
