Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork
Reduction Act Review
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) publishes a list of
information collection requests under
review by the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) in compliance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35). To request a copy of these
requests, call the CDC Reports Clearance
Officer at (404) 639–5960 or send an
e-mail to omb@cdc.gov. Send written
comments to CDC Desk Officer, Office of
Management and Budget, Washington,
DC 20503 or by fax to (202) 395–5806.
Written comments should be received
within 30 days of this notice.
Proposed Project
National Disease Surveillance
Program II. Disease Summaries (0920–
0004 Exp. 6/30/2013)—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
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,
waterborne diseases, cholera and other
vibrio illnesses, Listeria, babesiosis,
brucellosis, Harmful Algal Bloomrelated Infectious 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. In addition, new influenza
forms and one new rabies form have
been added. A new parasitic disease is
being included, babesiosis, to help track
the increasing cases from transfusions.
Furthermore, a brucellosis case report
form that has been revised and updated
from the 1980 form has been added to
this OMB Control number to enhance
surveillance and assist with
understanding the changing
epidemiology of brucellosis in the
United States. 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. The
total estimated annualized burden hours
are 36,126.

Audience Analysis for
Biomonitoring—New—National Center
for Environmental Health/Agency for
Toxic Substances and Disease Registry
(NCEH/ATSDR), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
People’s exposure to environmental
chemicals can be a risk to their health.
Scientists at the CDC use biomonitoring,
which is the measurement of
environmental chemicals in human
tissues and fluids, to assess such
exposure. Biomonitoring findings,
however, do not typically provide
information on health risks and toxicity
data often lag behind new
biomonitoring data. The health effects
on humans are, therefore, often
uncertain or unknown, particularly, for
many new or ‘‘emerging’’ chemicals.
Nevertheless, communicating
biomonitoring findings for those
charged with this task is necessary,
especially due to the growing media
coverage and public concern about
chemicals found in the human body.
The demand for answers and decreasing
patience with uncertainty characterizes
the interpretation of such results. This
poses enormous challenges to those
tasked to communicate such findings to
both scientific and non-scientific
audiences without a biomonitoring
background.
The CDC is, therefore, interested in
developing a framework for
communicating health risk messages,
particularly about emerging
environmental chemicals, to the
attentive public audience such as

selected women who are pregnant or
have very young children. The three
environmental chemicals, Bisphenol A
(BPA), phthalates, and mercury have
been selected for this study. They are of
particular interest to these selected
women as the risks of exposure are
higher for very young children because
of their hand-to-mouth behaviors and
direct oral (mouth) contact with
materials containing these chemicals.
Furthermore, young children eat and
drink more per pound of body weight
than adults.
Focus groups will be conducted in
different parts of the country with
selected women. During phase one,
eight exploratory focus groups will be
conducted to develop messaging
strategies and the results will be used in
the development of preliminary
messages about the emerging chemicals.
The second phase will include six
message testing focus groups to
determine which messages are most
attractive and compelling in terms of
communicating health risk information
about emerging chemicals.
Participants will be recruited via
standard focus group recruitment
methods. Most will come from an
existing database (or list) of potential
participants maintained by the focus
group facility. There is no cost to
respondents other than their time. The
total estimated annual burden hours are
273.
