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
16:41 Jan 04, 2010
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.

Proposed Project
National Disease Surveillance
Program II. Disease Summaries (0920–
0004 Exp. 5/31/2010)—Revision—
National Center for Emerging and
Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (NCEZID)
(proposed), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
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

activities and the surveillance systems
maintained have expanded.
CDC and the Council of State and
Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE)
collect data on disease and preventable
conditions in accordance with jointly
approved plans. Changes in the
surveillance program and in reporting
methods are effected in the same
manner. At the onset of this surveillance
program in 1968, the CSTE and CDC
decided on which diseases warranted
surveillance. These diseases are
reviewed and revised based on
variations in the public’s health.
Surveillance forms are distributed to the
State and local health departments who
voluntarily submit these reports to CDC
Surveillance System (HABISS) data
entry form, and the HABISS monthly
reporting form. These data are essential
on the local, state, and Federal levels for
measuring trends in diseases, evaluating
the effectiveness of current prevention
strategies, and determining the need for
modifying current prevention measures.
This request is for revision of the
currently approved data collection for
three years. The revisions include minor
changes to reporting forms already
approved under this OMB Control
Number. Because of the distinct nature
of each of the diseases, the number of
cases reported annually is different for
each. There is no cost to respondents
other than their time.
at variable frequencies, either weekly or
monthly. CDC then calculates and
publishes weekly statistics via the
Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report
(MMWR), providing the states with
timely aggregates of their submissions.
The following diseases/conditions are
included in this program: Diarrheal
disease surveillance (includes
campylobacter, salmonella, and
shigella), foodborne outbreaks, arboviral
surveillance (ArboNet), Influenza virus,
including the annual survey and
influenza-like illness, Respiratory and
Enterovirus surveillance, rabies,
