SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Under the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520),
Federal agencies must obtain approval
from the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) for each collection of
information they conduct or sponsor. In
addition, the PRA also requires Federal
agencies to provide a 60-day notice in
the Federal Register concerning each
proposed collection of information,
including each new proposed
collection, each proposed extension of
existing collection of information, and
each reinstatement of previously
approved information collection before
submitting the collection to OMB for
approval. To comply with this
requirement, we are publishing this
notice of a proposed data collection as
described below.
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 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.

Proposed Project
Retrospective evaluation of the
prevalence of acute flaccid myelitis with
MRI grey matter findings among
children aged ≤18 years—NEW—
National Center for Immunization and
Respiratory Diseases, Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Acute onset limb weakness,
commonly referred to as acute flaccid
paralysis (AFP), is a relatively
uncommon syndrome among children.
From August–October 2014, several
clusters of AFP among children were
reported from several states within the
United States (U.S.) and an
epidemiologic investigation was
initiated to elucidate the possible causes
of these cases.
CDC originally collected data under
OMB Control Numbers 0920–1011 and
0920–0009. Cases were characterized by
distinctive abnormalities on spinal
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), in
which pathologic changes were largely
restricted to the central grey matter of
the spinal cord. Due to these findings
and to differentiate this illness from
other forms of AFP, CDC used the term
‘acute flaccid myelitis’ (AFM).
The main goal of this study is to
obtain data in order to estimate the
baseline rate of AFM that is
accompanied by MRI changes confined
to spinal grey matter among children
≤18 years of age that were seen at six
pediatric medical centers in the United
States. Data on spinal MRIs from years
2005–2014 will be collected from six
sentinel medical centers. Physicians at
these medical centers will examine the
MRI reports and extract data on specific
variables using a database developed by
CDC.
Data will then be sent to CDC, where
2005–2013 data will be compared with
2014 data in order to assess if 2014 rates
of AFM were higher than in previous
years. Furthermore, this evaluation will
provide important information
regarding characteristics of patients
presenting with AFM and grey matter
changes, assist in determining the
potential for surveillance focusing on
MRI findings because AFM is not
routinely conducted in the United
States and identify possible risk factors.
The data will be used to estimate a
baseline for the rate of AFM that occurs
in the United States each year. This
information has not been previously
collected, since the U.S. does not collect
routine surveillance for AFM/AFP.
The participation of respondents is
voluntary. There is no cost to the
respondents other than their time. The
