Disease Summaries (0920– 0004 Exp. 8/31/2014)—Revision— National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description CDC requests a three year approval for a Revision of the National Disease Surveillance Program II. Disease Summaries information collection. Proposed revisions include shifting information collection management responsibilities to the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases (NCIRD) and consolidating various forms to reflect more current 800 3,000 Number of responses per respondent 30 10 Average burden per respondent (in hours) 1 1 technology trends. Also, CDC requests the use of the following new Influenza forms to enhance surveillance and assist in understanding the complexities of these newer viruses: Human Infection with Novel Influenza A Virus Severe Outcomes; Human Infection with Novel Influenza A Virus with Suspected Avian Source; and Antiviral Resistant Influenza Infection Case Report Form. Due to the uncertainty regarding MERS-CoV and its threat to human health, CDC also has a need to use a Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV) [Patient Under Investigation] form. Use of an Adenovirus Typing Report Form and discontinuing the use of the Harmful Algal Bloom-related Illness form is also requested. The Adenovirus Typing Report Form allows for a passive surveillance mechanism that collects adenovirus typing data to enhance adenovirus circulation data already collected by the National Respiratory and Enteric Virus Surveillance System (NREVSS). The methodology for reporting varies depending on the occurrence, modes of transmission, infectious agents, and epidemiologic measures. There is no cost to respondents other than their time.

The law further directs the Secretary of HHS to determine if a child receiving interim assistance is eligible for assistance as a victim of a severe form of trafficking in persons after consultation with the Attorney General, the Secretary of Homeland Security, and nongovernmental organizations with expertise on victims of severe form of trafficking. In developing procedures for collecting the necessary information from potential child victims of trafficking, their case managers, attorneys, or other representatives to allow HHS to grant interim eligibility, HHS devised a form. HHS has determined that the use of a standard form to collect information is the best way to ensure requestors are notified of their option to request assistance for child victims of trafficking and to make prompt and consistent determinations about the child’s eligibility for assistance. Specifically, the form asks the requestor for his or her identifying information, information on the child, and information describing the type of trafficking and circumstances surrounding the situation. The form also asks the requestor to verify the PO 00000 Average burden per response (in hours) Sfmt 4703 information contained in the form because the information could be the basis for a determination of an alien child’s eligibility for federally funded benefits. Finally, the form takes into consideration the need to compile information regarding a child’s circumstances and experiences in a nondirective, child-friendly way, and assists the potential requestor in assessing whether the child may have been subjected to trafficking in persons. The information provided through the completion of a Request for Assistance for Child Victims of Human Trafficking form will enable HHS to make prompt determinations regarding the eligibility of an alien child for interim assistance, inform HHS’ determination regarding the child’s eligibility for assistance as a victim of a severe form of trafficking in persons, facilitate the required consultation process, and enable HHS to assess and address potential child protection issues. Respondents: Representatives of governmental and nongovernmental entities providing social, legal, or protective services to alien persons under the age of 18 (children) in the United States who may have been subjected to severe forms of trafficking in persons.
