Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 123 / Wednesday, June 26, 2019 / Notices
to prevent worker injury and illness, as
authorized in Section 20(a)(1) of the
Occupational Safety and Health Act (29
U.S.C. 669). NIOSH is strongly
committed to program evaluation as a
way to maximize its contributions to
improved occupational safety and
health. NIOSH is requesting a new
generic information collection request
for a three-year period that will support
the timely information collection
needed for upcoming program
evaluation activities, such as external
reviews of NIOSH research programs
(which fulfil a Government Performance
and Results Act (GPRA) requirement),
studies to understand the economic
value of NIOSH research, process
evaluations of NIOSH programs, and
evaluations of large research projects.
For these reviews, NIOSH needs to
collect information about research
dissemination and achieved outcomes
from key audiences (grantees, potential
NIOSH research users and relevant
safety and health experts) for
accountability and program
improvement purposes. NIOSH is
specifically interested in assessing
intermediate outcomes — the use of
NIOSH research products and findings
by external stakeholders and partners to
improve safety and health — as
evidence of research impact. Being able
to collect information on intermediate
outcomes from grantees, as well as past,
present, and potential future users of
NIOSH research would allow us to
provide more robust evidence of use or
adoption of NIOSH research products or
findings.
The evaluation findings and
recommendations from the various
program evaluation activities described
above will be used as an input for future
direction of the programs and
incorporated into analyses and reports
to either investigate the value of
NIOSH’s research, or improve program
operations to maximize impact.
Data will be collected through semistructured key informant interviews
with grantees, potential or known users
of NIOSH research, and subject matter
experts in safety and health. NIOSH
estimates that 30 respondents will be
involved in phone interviews, which
would last between 30–60 minutes.
However, participants might be
burdened an additional hour reading the
invitation email and providing relevant
documents such as evidence of research
impact. Therefore, the estimated burden
for each participant is two hours. The
total estimated burden is 60 hours.

In accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
has submitted the information
collection request titled National
Disease Surveillance Program—I. Case
Reports to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) for review and
approval. CDC previously published a
‘‘Proposed Data Collection Submitted
for Public Comment and
Recommendations’’ notice on April 8,
2019 to obtain comments from the
public and affected agencies. CDC did
not receive comments related to the

previous notice. This notice serves to
allow an additional 30 days for public
and affected agency comments.
CDC will accept all comments for this
proposed information collection project.
The Office of Management and Budget
is particularly interested in comments
that:
(a) Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
(b) Evaluate the accuracy of the
agencies estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
(c) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected;
(d) Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including, through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses; and
(e) Assess information collection
costs.

Background and Brief Description
Surveillance of the incidence and
distribution of disease has been an
important function of the US Public
Health Service (PHS) since an 1878 Act
of Congress authorized the PHS to
collect morbidity reports. After the
Malaria Control in War Areas Program
had fulfilled its original 1942 objective
of reducing malaria transmission, its

basic tenets were carried forward and
broadened by the formation of the
Communicable Disease Center (CDC) in
1946. CDC was conceived of as a wellequipped, broadly staffed agency used
to translate facts about analysis of
morbidity and mortality statistics on
communicable diseases and through
field investigations.
It was soon recognized that control
measures (such as the DDT spraying for
malaria) did not alleviate the threat of
disease reintroduction. In 1950, the
Malaria Surveillance Program began,
and in 1952, the National Surveillance
Program started. Both programs were
based on the premise that diseases
cannot be diagnosed, prevented, or
controlled until existing knowledge is
expanded and new ideas developed and
implemented. The original scope of the
National Surveillance Program included
the study of malaria, murine typhus,
smallpox, psittacosis, diphtheria,
leprosy, and sylvatic plague. Over the
years, the mandate of CDC has
broadened in preventive health
activities and the surveillance systems
maintained have expanded. This
program is authorized under the Public
Health Service Act, Section 301 and 306
(42 U.S.C. 241 and 242K).
This ICR covers surveillance activities
for these four, rare diseases:
1. Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD)
2. Reye Syndrome
3. Kawasaki syndrome
4. Acute Flaccid Myelitis
Annual burden is estimated to
decrease by 23 hours to 167 total hours
since the last approval. There is no cost
to respondents other than the time to
participate.
