The Nationally Notifiable Disease Surveillance System (NNDSS) is based on data collected at the state, territorial and local levels as a result of legislation and regulations in those jurisdictions that require health care providers, medical laboratories, and other entities to submit healthrelated data on reportable conditions to public health departments. These reportable conditions, which include infectious and non-infectious diseases, vary by jurisdiction depending upon each jurisdiction’s health priorities and needs. Currently approximately 300 conditions are reportable in one or more of the states. Since infectious disease agents and environmental hazards often cross geographical boundaries, public health departments have to be able to share data on certain conditions across jurisdictions and coordinate program activities to prevent and control the conditions. Each year, the Council of State and Territorial Disease Epidemiologists (CSTE), supported by CDC, performs an assessment of conditions reported to state, territorial and local jurisdictions to determine which should be designated nationally notifiable conditions. For conditions PO 00000 Frm 00039 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 that are nationally notifiable, case notifications are voluntarily submitted to CDC so that information can be shared across jurisdictional boundaries and both surveillance and prevention and control activities can be coordinated at regional and national levels. CDC requests a three-year approval for a Revision for the National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System (NNDSS), [National Electronic Disease Surveillance System (NEDSS, OMB Control No. 0920–0728, Expiration Date 01/31/2014]. This request has been developed in coordination with four other CDC applications to OMB for nationally notifiable diseases case notification: Control Nos. 0920–0128, (Congenital Syphilis Surveillance), 0920–0819 (Nationally Notifiable Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) Morbidity Surveillance) 0920–0009 (National Disease Surveillance Program—I. Case Reports) and 0920– 0004 (National Disease Surveillance Program—II. Disease Summaries). This consolidation of information collection 0920–0128 and some parts of information collections 0920–0819, 0920–0009 and 0920–0004, is an important step in implementing CDC’s longer term strategy of developing a more coordinated and integrated infectious diseases surveillance system that reduces overlap and duplication; increases interoperability, integration and efficiency; and thereby reduces burden to state, territorial and local health departments that report infectious disease data to CDC. Due to the coordination, this NNDSS application includes 11 conditions and many additional data elements for the case notifications that were not previously included in NNDSS OMB application Control No. 0920–0728.

As CDC works with state, territorial and local health departments to develop and implement new information technologies to submit these data through NNDSS, burden will also increase as the public health departments commit resources to implementing the new technologies.

More than 179,000 individuals in the United States die each year as a result of unintentional injuries and violence, more than 29 million others suffer non-fatal injuries and over one-third of all emergency department (ED) visits each year are due to injuries. In 2000, injuries and violence ultimately cost the United States $406 billion, with over $80 billion in medical costs and the remainder lost in productivity. Most PO 00000 Frm 00040 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 events that result in injury and/or death from injury could be prevented if evidence-based public health strategies, practices, and policies were used throughout the nation. CDC’s National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC) is committed to working with their partners to promote action that reduces injuries, violence, and disabilities by providing leadership in identifying priorities, promoting tools, and monitoring effectiveness of injury and violence prevention and to promote effective strategies for the prevention of injury and violence, and their consequences. One tool NCIPC will use to accomplish this is the Core Violence and Injury Prevention Program (Core VIPP). This program funds state health departments (SHDs) to build their capacity to disseminate, implement, and evaluate evidence-based/best practice programs and policies. Although some states were funded previously through similar CDC-funded programs, this evaluation will only consider the implementation and outcomes of Core VIPP during the five-year funding period from August 2011 to July 2016. The program includes one Basic Integration Component (BIC) and four expanded components: Regional Network Leader (RNLs), Surveillance Quality Improvement (SQI), Motor Vehicle Child Injury Prevention Policy (MVP), and Multi-component Interventions in Multiple Setting to Prevent Falls in Older Adults (Falls).

Proposed Project

National Notifiable Disease Surveillance System (NNDSS)--Revision--
Office of Surveillance, Epidemiology, and Laboratory Services (OSELS), 
Public Health Surveillance and Informatics Program Office (PHSIPO), 
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. The Nationally 
Notifiable Disease Surveillance System (NNDSS) is based on data 
collected at the state, territorial and local levels as a result of 
legislation and regulations in those jurisdictions that require health 
care providers, medical laboratories, and other entities to submit 
health-related data on reportable conditions to public health 
departments. These reportable conditions, which include infectious and 
non-infectious diseases, vary by jurisdiction depending upon each 
jurisdiction's health priorities and needs. Currently approximately 300 
conditions are reportable in one or more of the states. Since 
infectious disease agents and environmental hazards often cross 
geographical boundaries, public health departments have to be able to 
share data on certain conditions across jurisdictions and coordinate 
program activities to prevent and control the conditions. Each year, 
the Council of State and Territorial Disease Epidemiologists (CSTE), 
supported by CDC, performs an assessment of conditions reported to 
state, territorial and local jurisdictions to determine which should be 
designated nationally notifiable conditions. For conditions that are 
nationally notifiable, case notifications are voluntarily submitted to 
CDC so that information can be shared across jurisdictional boundaries 
and both surveillance and prevention and control activities can be 
coordinated at regional and national levels.
    CDC requests a three-year approval for a Revision for the National 
Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System (NNDSS), [National Electronic 
Disease Surveillance System (NEDSS, OMB Control No. 0920-0728, 
Expiration Date 01/31/2014]. This request has been developed in 
coordination with four other CDC applications to OMB for nationally 
notifiable diseases case notification: Control Nos. 0920-0128, 
(Congenital Syphilis Surveillance), 0920-0819 (Nationally Notifiable 
Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) Morbidity Surveillance) 0920-0009 
(National Disease Surveillance Program--I. Case Reports) and 0920-0004 
(National Disease Surveillance Program--II. Disease Summaries). This 
consolidation of information collection 0920-0128 and some parts of 
information collections 0920-0819, 0920-0009 and 0920-0004, is an 
important step in implementing CDC's longer term strategy of developing 
a more coordinated and integrated infectious diseases surveillance 
system that reduces overlap and duplication; increases 
interoperability, integration and efficiency; and thereby reduces 
burden to state, territorial and local health departments that report 
infectious disease data to CDC. Due to the coordination, this NNDSS 
application includes 11 conditions and many additional data elements 
for the case notifications that were not previously included in NNDSS 
OMB application Control No. 0920-0728. For many conditions submitted to 
CDC,

[[Page 48681]]

participating public health departments also submit data elements which 
are specific to each condition. With the coordination with other CDC 
programs conducting surveillance on notifiable conditions, this 
application includes disease-specific tables for 68 diseases. The 2010 
NNDSS OMB application included disease-specific data elements for only 
14 of those conditions.
    Because this information collection request includes case 
notifications that were not part of the 2010 NNDSS/NEDSS application, 
replaces one application and replaces parts of three other OMB 
applications, burden estimates have been adjusted to incorporate burden 
estimates from the other four applications. The estimates are adjusted 
for the increased number of conditions reported to NNDSS, the expansion 
of core data elements, and the inclusion of more disease-specific 
tables. These changes have increased the burden estimates in this 
application in comparison with the burden estimates in the 2010 NNDSS/
NEDSS OMB application (OMB Control No. 0920-0728). As CDC works with 
state, territorial and local health departments to develop and 
implement new information technologies to submit these data through 
NNDSS, burden will also increase as the public health departments 
commit resources to implementing the new technologies. However, over 
the next 3 years, as the new automated electronic systems are 
implemented, burden will be decreased. The estimated annual burden is 
28,340 hours.
