Proposed Project
National Notifiable Diseases
Surveillance System (OMB Control
Number: 0920–0728, Exp. Date:
February 28, 2021)—Revision—Center
for Surveillance, Epidemiology and
Laboratory Services (CSELS), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Public Health Services Act (42
U.S.C. 241) authorizes CDC to
disseminate nationally notifiable
condition information. The National
Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System
(NNDSS) is based on data collected at
the state, territorial and local levels as
a result of legislation and regulations in
those jurisdictions that require health
care providers, medical laboratories,
and other entities to submit healthrelated data on reportable conditions to
public health departments. These
reportable conditions, which include
infectious and non-infectious diseases,
vary by jurisdiction depending upon
each jurisdiction’s health priorities and
needs. Infectious disease agents and
environmental hazards often cross
geographical boundaries. Each year, the
Council of State and Territorial Disease
Epidemiologists (CSTE), supported by
CDC, determines which reportable
conditions should be designated
nationally notifiable or under
standardized surveillance and
voluntarily submitted to CDC so that
information can be shared across

jurisdictional boundaries and
surveillance and prevention and control
activities can be coordinated at regional
and national levels.
CDC requests a three-year approval for
this Revision which includes (1) receipt
of case notification data for Candida
auris (C. auris) which is now nationally
notifiable; (2) receipt of case notification
data and disease-specific data elements
for Carbapenemase-Producing
Carbapenem-Resistant
Enterobacteriaceae (CP–CRE) which is
now nationally notifiable; (3) receipt of
case notification data and diseasespecific data elements for S. Paratyphi
Infection which is now nationally
notifiable; (4) renaming Typhoid Fever
to ‘‘S. Typhi Infection’’ on the List of
Nationally Notifiable Conditions; (5)
receipt of case notification data and
disease-specific data elements for
Carbon Monoxide (CO) Poisoning; (6)
receipt of case notification data and
disease-specific data elements for
Tuberculosis (TB) Disease; (7) receipt of
case notification data and diseasespecific data elements for Latent TB
Infection which is now under
standardized surveillance; (8) receipt of
case notification data for Respiratory
Syncytial Virus (RSV)-Associated
Mortality which is now under
standardized surveillance; (9) receipt of
disease-specific data elements for Shiga
Toxin-Producing Escherichia coli
(STEC), Salmonellosis, Shigellosis,
Campylobacteriosis, Cryptosporidiosis,
Cyclosporiasis, Cholera, Vibriosis, S.
Typhi Infection, S. Paratyphi Infection,
Lyme Disease, Invasive Haemophilus
influenzae Disease, Meningococcal
Disease, Invasive Pneumococcal
Disease, Psittacosis, Legionellosis,
Tickborne Rickettsial Diseases (TBRD),
and Hepatitis; and (10) the extension of
the pilot period by two years for
receiving sexual orientation and gender
identity (SO/GI) data elements for
sexually transmitted diseases (STD).
The burden estimates include the
number of hours that the public health
department uses to process and send
case notification data from their
jurisdiction to CDC. Specifically, the
burden estimates include separate
burden hours incurred for automated
and non-automated transmissions,
separate weekly burden hours incurred

(NMI) implementation, separate burden
hours incurred for annual data
reconciliation and submission, and
separate one-time burden hours
incurred for the addition of new
diseases and data elements. These
estimates are based on information from
CDC employees that manage the NMI
effort and conduct site visits to provide
technical assistance to help the public
health departments modernize their
surveillance systems. The estimated
annual burden is 19,527 hours.

National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System (OMB Control
Number: 0920-0728, Exp. Date: February 28, 2021)--Revision--Center for
Surveillance, Epidemiology and Laboratory Services (CSELS), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Public Health Services Act (42 U.S.C. 241) authorizes CDC to
disseminate nationally notifiable condition information. The National
Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System (NNDSS) is based on data
collected at the state, territorial and local levels as a result of
legislation and regulations in those jurisdictions that require health
care providers, medical laboratories, and other entities to submit
health-related data on reportable conditions to public health
departments. These reportable conditions, which include infectious and
non-infectious diseases, vary by jurisdiction depending upon each
jurisdiction's health priorities and needs. Infectious disease agents
and environmental hazards often cross geographical boundaries. Each
year, the Council of State and Territorial Disease Epidemiologists
(CSTE), supported by CDC, determines which reportable conditions should
be designated nationally notifiable or under standardized surveillance
and voluntarily submitted to CDC so that information can be shared
across jurisdictional boundaries and surveillance and prevention and
control activities can be coordinated at regional and national levels.
CDC requests a three-year approval for this Revision which includes
(1) receipt of case notification data for Candida auris (C. auris)
which is now nationally notifiable; (2) receipt of case notification
data and disease-specific data elements for Carbapenemase-Producing
Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CP-CRE) which is now
nationally notifiable; (3) receipt of case notification data and
disease-specific data elements for S. Paratyphi Infection which is now
nationally notifiable; (4) renaming Typhoid Fever to ``S. Typhi
Infection'' on the List of Nationally Notifiable Conditions; (5)
receipt of case notification data and disease-specific data elements
for Carbon Monoxide (CO) Poisoning; (6) receipt of case notification
data and disease-specific data elements for Tuberculosis (TB) Disease;
(7) receipt of case notification data and disease-specific data
elements for Latent TB Infection which is now under standardized
surveillance; (8) receipt of case notification data for Respiratory
Syncytial Virus (RSV)-Associated Mortality which is now under
standardized surveillance; (9) receipt of disease-specific data
elements for Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia coli (STEC),
Salmonellosis, Shigellosis, Campylobacteriosis, Cryptosporidiosis,
Cyclosporiasis, Cholera, Vibriosis, S. Typhi Infection, S. Paratyphi
Infection, Lyme Disease, Invasive Haemophilus influenzae Disease,
Meningococcal Disease, Invasive Pneumococcal Disease, Psittacosis,
Legionellosis, Tickborne Rickettsial Diseases (TBRD), and Hepatitis;
and (10) the extension of the pilot period by two years for receiving
sexual orientation and gender identity (SO/GI) data elements for
sexually transmitted diseases (STD).
The burden estimates include the number of hours that the public
health department uses to process and send case notification data from
their jurisdiction to CDC. Specifically, the burden estimates include
separate burden hours incurred for automated and non-automated
transmissions, separate weekly burden hours incurred
[[Page 57486]]
for modernizing surveillance systems as part of NNDSS Modernization
Initiative (NMI) implementation, separate burden hours incurred for
annual data reconciliation and submission, and separate one-time burden
hours incurred for the addition of new diseases and data elements.
These estimates are based on information from CDC employees that manage
the NMI effort and conduct site visits to provide technical assistance
to help the public health departments modernize their surveillance
systems. The estimated annual burden is 19,527 hours.
