Proposed Project Adult and Pediatric HIV/AIDS Confidential Case Reports for National HIV/AIDS Surveillance (OMB No. 0920– 0573 Exp. 2/28/2010)—Revision— National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description The purpose of HIV/AIDS surveillance data collection is to monitor trends in HIV disease and describe the characteristics of infected persons (e.g., demographics, modes of exposure to HIV, clinical and laboratory markers of HIV disease, manifestations of severe HIV disease, and deaths among persons with HIV/AIDS). HIV/AIDS surveillance data are widely used by scientists, researchers, and public health authorities at all levels to assess the impact of HIV infection on morbidity and mortality, to allocate medical care resources and services and to guide prevention and disease control activities. CDC in collaboration with health departments in the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. dependent areas, conducts national surveillance for cases of HIV infection that includes critical data across the spectrum of HIV disease from HIV diagnosis to AIDS, the endstage disease caused by infection with HIV, and death. In addition, this system provides the essential data to estimate HIV incidence and monitor patterns in variant, atypical, and resistant strains of HIV among infected persons in the United States. Case report data are either abstracted from medical records by health departments or reported from laboratories, physicians, and other care providers to health departments who compile the information and report data to CDC for inclusion in the national database. Since 1993, these data have been maintained and reported through the HIV/AIDS reporting system (HARS) software. In 2010, the new enhanced electronic HIV/AIDS reporting system (eHARS) will be fully deployed. The revisions requested include additional data elements for eHARS that will allow better tracking of documents and flow of previously approved currently collected surveillance data. In addition, we are requesting approval of a revised data collection form for enhanced perinatal surveillance (EPS) including nonsubstantial changes aimed at improving the format and usability of the EPS form. The data CDC collects through the national HIV surveillance system provide the sole source of comprehensive, complete national HIV statistics collected in a timely and standardized manner. Continued data collection will benefit the public by providing accurate and reliable information on the extent and distribution of the HIV epidemic in the United States to be used to guide local and national HIV prevention and control efforts and guide distribution of resources for HIV treatment and care.

Proposed Project

Restriction on Travel of Persons (OMB Control No. 0920-0488 Exp.1/
31/2010)--Extension--National Center for Preparedness, Detection, and
Control of Infectious Diseases (NCPDCID), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is requesting OMB
approval to extend the information collection request, ``Restriction on
Travel of Persons'' (OMB Control No. 0920-0488). This information
collection request is scheduled to expire on January 31, 2010.
CDC is authorized to collect this information under 42 CFR 70.5
(Certain communicable diseases; special requirements). This regulation
requires that any person who is in the communicable period for cholera,
plague, smallpox, typhus, or yellow fever or having been exposed to any
such disease is in the incubation period thereof, to apply for and
receive a permit from the Surgeon General or his authorized
representative in order to travel from one State or possession to
another.
Control of disease transmission within the States is considered to
be the province of state and local health authorities, with Federal
assistance being sought by those authorities on a cooperative basis
without application of Federal regulations. The regulations in 42 Part
70 were developed to facilitate Federal action in the event of large
outbreaks requiring a coordinated effort involving several states, or
in the event of inadequate local control. While it is not known
whether, or to what extent situations may arise in which these
regulations would be invoked, contingency planning for domestic
emergency preparedness is now commonplace. Should these situations
arise, CDC will use the reporting and recordkeeping requirements
contained in the regulations to carry out quarantine responsibilities
as required by law.
There is no cost to respondents other than their time.
