Proposed Collection; Comment
Request; Process Evaluation of the
NIH’s Roadmap Interdisciplinary
Research Work Group Initiatives
SUMMARY: In compliance with the
requirements of section 3506(c)(2)(A) of
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
for opportunity for public comment on
proposed data collection projects, the
Office of the Director, the National
Institutes of Health (NIH), will publish
periodic summaries of proposed
projects to be submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and approval.
Proposed Collection: The National
Institute of Dental and Craniofacial
Research of the National Institutes of
Heath requests a three-year clearance for
the ‘‘Process Evaluation of the NIH
Roadmap Interdisciplinary Research
Work Group Initiatives,’’ a new
collection. This study will be used to
determine whether the NIH’s
Interdisciplinary Research Work Group
initiatives have been, and are being,
conducted as planned, whether the
expected outputs are being produced,
and how the activities and processes
associated with the initiatives can be
improved. Information collected during
the evaluation will be used to assess
whether and how these initiatives
differed from existing initiatives to
determine whether these unique
initiatives or mechanisms are necessary,
to make decisions about whether to
continue and/or to modify the programs,
and to make decisions about structural
or procedural changes within NIH that
may be necessary to support crosscutting interdisciplinary programs. The
frequency of response is once for most
respondents, and twice for a limited
group. The affected public includes a
limited number of individuals; Type of
respondents: principal investigators,
other grant investigators, and Initiative
trainees. The annual reporting burden is
as follows: Estimated number of
VerDate Nov<24>2008

Jkt 220001
respondents: 450; Estimated number of
responses per respondent: PIs, 2; Other
Investigators, 1; Trainees, 1; Average
burden hours per response: 30 minutes;
and Estimated total annual burden
hours requested: 250 hours. The total
annualized cost to respondents
(calculated as the number of
respondents * frequency of response *
average time per response *
approximate hourly wage rate) is
estimated to be $4,565.
Request for Comments: Written
comments and/or suggestions from the
public and affected agencies are invited
on one or more of the following points:
(1) Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the function of the
agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(2) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate
of the burden of the proposed collection
of information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) ways to enhance the quality, utility,
and clarity of the information to be
collected; and (4) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on those who are to respond, including
the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To
request more information on the
proposed project or to obtain a copy of
the data collection plans and
instruments, contact Sue Hamann,
Ph.D., Science Evaluation Officer, Office
of Science Policy Officer and Analysis,
NIDCRD, NIH. You may reach Dr.
Hamann by telephone on 301–594–4849
(this is not a toll-free number), or you
may e-mail your request to Dr. Hamann
at Sue.Hamann@nih.hhs.gov.
Comments Due Date: Comments
regarding this information collection are
best assured of having their full effect if
received within 60 days of the date of
this publication.
Dated: December 22, 2009.

National Disease Surveillance
Program II. Disease Summaries (0920–

National Center for Emerging and
Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (NCEZID)

Background and Brief Description
Surveillance of the incidence and
distribution of disease has been an
important function of the U.S. Public
Health Service (PHS) since 1878.
Through the years, PHS/CDC has
formulated practical methods of disease
control through field investigations. The
CDC National Disease Surveillance
Program is based on the premise that
diseases cannot be diagnosed,
prevented, or controlled until existing
knowledge is expanded and new ideas
developed and implemented. Over the
years, the mandate of CDC has
broadened to include preventive health
