they have received several inquiries and
provided assistance to both internal
SMEs as well as outside requestors. CDC
has deposited a variety of strains into
the Biodefense and Emerging Infections
(BEI) Research Resources Repository
and requestors now have the option of
requesting materials using this
mechanism. However, CDC would like
to maintain the ability to process
requests if they receive them and is,
therefore, making a request to use the
SADA application indefinitely.
The number of potential respondents
in a given year is unknown. The
estimates below are based on if they
were to receive requests from 900
respondents. A user fee will be collected
to recover costs for materials, handling
and shipping (except for public health
laboratories).
The cost to the respondent will vary
based on which agent is requested.
continue data collection under the
Select Agent Distribution Activity
(SADA). The purpose of this data
collection is to provide a systematic and
consistent mechanism to review
requests that come to CDC for Select
Agents.
The term select agents is used to
describe a limited group of viruses,
bacteria, rickettsia, and toxins that have
the potential for use as agents of
bioterrorism, inflicting significant
morbidity and mortality on susceptible
populations. The SADA form is
scheduled to expire on 07/31/2014.
SADA was originally created for the
anticipated large number of requests for
select agents by investigators seeking
National Institutes of Health grants. The
process was established to lessen the
burden on CDC Subject Matter Experts
(SMEs) who would be receiving requests
for access to select agents housed within
NCEZID.
The SADA application is a Material
Transfer Agreement that is specific to
select agent requests. Although the

Background and Brief Description
CDC’s mission is to create the
expertise, information, and tools that
people and communities need to protect
their health—through health promotion,
prevention of disease, injury and
disability, and preparedness for new
health threats. CDC seeks to accomplish
its mission by collaborating with
partners throughout the nation and the
world to: monitor health, detect and
investigate health problems, conduct

research to enhance prevention, develop
and advocate sound public health
policies, implement prevention
strategies, promote healthy behaviors,
foster safe and healthful environments,
and provide leadership and training.
CDC is requesting a three-year
approval for a generic clearance to
collect information related to domestic
public health issues and services that
affect and/or involve state, tribal, local
and territorial (STLT) government
entities. The respondent universe is
comprised of STLT governmental staff
or delegates acting on behalf of a STLT
agency involved in the provision of
essential public health services in the
United States. The STLT agency is
represented by state, tribal, local or
territorial governmental entity or
delegate with a task to protect and/or
improve the public’s health.
Information will be used to assess
situational awareness of current public
health emergencies; make decisions that
affect planning, response and recovery
activities of subsequent emergencies; fill
CDC gaps in knowledge of programs
and/or STLT governments that will

Proposed Data Collections Submitted
for Public Comment and
Recommendations
In compliance with the requirement
of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 for
opportunity for public comment on
proposed data collection projects, the
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) will publish periodic
summaries of proposed projects. To
request more information on the
proposed projects or to obtain a copy of
the data collection plans and
instruments, call 404–639–7570 or send
comments to Leroy Richardson, 1600
Clifton Road NE., MS–D74, Atlanta,
Georgia 30333; comments may also be
sent by email to omb@cdc.gov.
Comments are invited on (a) whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have a
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarify of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of information technology. Written
comments should be received within 60
days of this notice.

Program II. Disease Summaries (0920–

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

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 total estimated annualized
burden hours are 31,921.
