technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses; and (e) Assess information
collection costs.

Proposed Project
Information Collection on CauseSpecific Absenteeism in Schools—
New—National Center for Emerging and
Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (NCEZID),
Division of Global Migration and
Quarantine (DGMQ), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), National Center for
Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious
Diseases (NCEZID), Division of Global
Migration and Quarantine (DGMQ),
requests approval of a new information
collection to better understand the
triggers, timing and duration of the use
of school related measures for
preventing and controlling the spread of
influenza during the next pandemic.
The information collection for which
approval is sought is in accordance with
DGMQ/CDC’s mission to reduce
morbidity and mortality in mobile
populations, and to prevent the
introduction, transmission, or spread of
communicable diseases within the
United States. Insights gained from this
information collection will assist in the

planning and implementation of CDC
Pre-Pandemic Guidance on the use of
school related measures, including
school closures, to slow transmission
during an influenza pandemic.
School closures were considered an
important measure during the earliest
stage of the 2009 H1N1 pandemic,
because a pandemic vaccine was not
available until October (6 months later),
and sufficient stocks to immunize all
school-age children were not available
until December. However, retrospective
review of the U.S. government response
to the pandemic identified a limited
evidence-base regarding the
effectiveness, acceptability, and
feasibility of various school related
measures during mild or moderately
severe pandemics. Guidance updates
will require an evidence-based rationale
for determining the appropriate triggers,
timing, and duration of school related
measures, including school closures,
during a pandemic.
CDC staff proposes that the
information collection for this package
will target adult and child populations
in a school district in Wisconsin. CDC
will collect reports of individual student
symptoms, vaccination status, recent
travel, recent exposure to people with
influenza symptoms and duration of
illness; this will be accomplished
through telephone and in-person
interviews.
Findings obtained from this
information collection will be used to
inform the update CDC’s Pre-pandemic
Guidance on the implementation of
school related measures to prevent the
spread of influenza, especially school
closures. This Guidance is used as an
important planning and reference tool
for both State and local health
departments in the United States.
CDC estimates that 1,500 participants
could be recruited by information
collections covered by this information
collection. It is estimated that
information collection activities will
total 3,500 burden hours per year. There
is no cost to respondents other than
their time.
