The FTC’s portion of the annual
hourly burden would be 1,100,100
hours + ((1,930,000 ¥ 1,100,100)/2) =
1,515,050 annual hours. The FTC’s
portion of the annual cost burden would
be $29,778,008 + $((52,242,120 ¥
29,778,008)/2) = $41,010,064.
Estimated Capital/Other Non-Labor
Costs Burden
Staff believes that capital or other
non-labor costs associated with the
document requests are minimal. Please
see the 60-Day Federal Register notice
for more details.

Under the Premerger Notification
Rules
Section 7A of the Clayton Act, 15

Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust
Improvements Act of 1976, requires

in individual cases, to terminate this
waiting period prior to its expiration
and requires that notice of this action be
published in the Federal Register.
The following transactions were
granted early termination—on the dates

provided by law and the premerger
notification rules. The listing for each
transaction includes the transaction
number and the parties to the

Proposed Data Collections Submitted
for Public Comment and
Recommendations
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), as part of its
continuing effort to reduce public
burden, invites the general public and
other Federal agencies to take this
opportunity to comment on proposed
and/or continuing information
collections, as required by the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. To
request more information on the below
proposed project or to obtain a copy of
the information collection plan and
instruments, call 404–639–7570 or send
comments to Leroy A. Richardson, 1600
Clifton Road, MS–D74, Atlanta, GA
30333 or send an email to omb@cdc.gov.
Comments submitted in response to
this notice will be summarized and/or
included in the request for Office of
Management and Budget (OMB)
approval. 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 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 clarity of the
information to be collected;(d) ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of
information on respondents, including
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 three school districts in
Pennsylvania. 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, in-person interviews, and a
web-based survey. This information will
be used to estimate baseline school
absenteeism due to influenza as well as
to evaluate the use of absentee recording
systems in predicting community-wide
influenza transmission.
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 2,860 participants
could be recruited by information
collections covered by this information
collection. It is estimated that
information collection activities will
total 1,109 burden hours per year.
There is no cost to respondents other
than their time.
through the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology; and (e) estimates of capital
or start-up costs and costs of operation,
maintenance, and purchase of services
to provide information. Burden means
the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to
generate, maintain, retain, disclose or
provide information to or for a Federal
agency. This includes the time needed
to review instructions; to develop,
acquire, install and utilize technology
and systems for the purpose of
collecting, validating and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; to train
personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information, to search
data sources, to complete and review
the collection of information; and to
transmit or otherwise disclose the
information. Written comments should
be received within 60 days of this
notice.

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
