National Institutes of Health
Submission for OMB Review;
Emergency Clearance Request Human
Influenza Surveillance of Health Care
Centers in the United States and
Taiwan
In accordance with Section
3507(j) of the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995, the National Institute of Allergy
and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), the
National Institutes of Health (NIH), has
submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) a request for
emergency review and processing of this
information collection by March 7,
2015. NIAID is requesting emergency
processing of this information
collection, pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.13,
because NIAID cannot reasonably
comply with the normal clearance
procedures which would cause a delay
and likely prevent or substantially
disrupt the collection of information. A
delay in starting the information
collection would hinder the agency in
accomplishing its mission to the
detriment of the public good. Public
harm could result through the loss of
critically needed information to
understand the causes of severity of
influenza and associated morbidity and
mortality during the Northern
hemisphere 2014–15 influenza season.
The National Institutes of Health may
not conduct or sponsor, and the
respondent is not required to respond
to, an information collection that has
been extended, revised, or implemented
on or after October 1, 1995, unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control
number. Written comments and/or
suggestions from the public and affected
agencies are invited on one or more of
the following points: (1) Whether the
proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of
the function of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility; (2) The accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3)
Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (4) Ways to minimize the

the use of appropriate automated,

technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.

the item(s) contained in this notice,
especially regarding the estimated

disease—a critical knowledge gap
impacting effectiveness of decisionmaking around patient care. The 2014–
15 influenza season is unique because
the dominant circulating strain is an
H3N2 strain that is not sensitive to the
immunity induced by the influenza
vaccine formulation administered to the
general public. Our study will provide
insight into viral determinants that may
be contributing to the severity of
influenza and associated morbidity and
mortality this season. Capturing samples
from this influenza season is essential
for understanding the public health
implications the virus may have in the
future, and discerning the reasons
behind the severity of the disease it
causes.
OMB approval is requested for 6
months. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time. The
total estimated annualized burden hours
are 500.
