Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 233 / Monday, December 7, 2009 / Notices
Background and Brief Description
Executive Order 12862 directs Federal
agencies that provide services directly
to the public to survey customers to
determine the kind and quality of
services they need and their level of
satisfaction with existing services.
CDC releases a number of new
products each year to its customers, a
diverse group that includes health care
providers, researchers, public health
practitioners, policy makers, and the
general public. The term product is
broadly defined to include publications,
Web pages, podcasts, e-cards, CD–
ROMs, and videos. At present, there is
no mechanism for evaluating whether
these products are meeting customer
needs.
CDC is requesting a 3-year generic
clearance in order to better evaluate its
products. Obtaining feedback from
customers on a regular, on-going basis
will help ensure that customers find
CDC products to be useful. This type of
evaluation will allow CDC to maximize
the impact of its products which will
ultimately benefit the public’s health.
The estimate of annual burden was
based on approximately 20 new
products being released by CDC/NCIPC
each year. This number is consistent
with the number of products released
annually over the last 5 years.
Approximately 2500 hard copies of each
product are distributed to customers
annually. Each product is disseminated
electronically (via e-mail) to 3000
customers each year. Finally, product
Web sites receive approximately 1800
hits a month or 21,600 hits a year.
There is no cost to the respondents
other than their time. The total
estimated burden hours are 90,333.

Proposed Project
National Notifiable Condition
Messaging Support Strategy
Questionnaire—New—National Center
for Public Health Informatics (NCPHI),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Public Health Services Act (42
U.S.C. 241) authorizes CDC to
disseminate nationally notifiable
condition information. CDC’s Morbidity
and Morality Weekly Report publishes
incidence and prevalence tables for
nationally notifiable conditions reported
through the National Electronic Disease
Surveillance System (NEDSS) and other
surveillance data sources to the National
Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System
(NNDSS).
NEDSS (OMB 0920–0728) is an
internet-based infrastructure for public
health surveillance data exchange that
uses specific Public Health Information
Network (PHIN) and NEDSS electronic
data and information standards to
advance the development of efficient,
integrated, and interoperable
surveillance systems at federal, state
PO 00000

and local levels. CDC’s NCPHI is
responsible for establishing and
managing the national reporting system
of epidemiologic data for notifiable
conditions (diseases) via NEDSS.
Case notification messaging for most
of the nationally notifiable conditions
(77 infectious conditions as of August
2009) will eventually be supported by
the standard Health Level 7 (HL7)
message format. The HL7 message
format requires a Message Mapping
Guide (MMG)—developed by the
NEDSS and NNDSS programs, in
collaboration with state and federal
subject matter experts—to implement
case notification to CDC via NEDSS. By
the close of 2009, MMGs are expected
to be published for seven nationally
notifiable conditions. Current NEDSS
resources support the development of
three new MMGs per year. A
jurisdiction’s implementation of a MMG
requires an average of three months per
MMG and largely requires NCPHI’s
programmatic and technical expertise
during this process.
The National Notifiable Condition
Messaging Support Strategy
Questionnaire has been developed by
the NEDSS program to gather
information needed for formulating a
technical and project management
support strategy for 57 reporting
jurisdictions (i.e., 50 states, 5 territories,
New York City, and Washington, DC) as
they implement NEDSS messaging using
Message Mapping Guides (MMG). A
jurisdiction’s response to the
questionnaire will be used by the
NEDSS implementation and
