Proposed Project
Validated Follow-up Interview of
Clinicians on Outpatient Antibiotic
Stewardship Interventions—New—
Division of Healthcare Quality
Promotion (DHQP), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Code of Federal Regulations
under subsections C and D of § 247d–5
authorizes education of medical and
health services personnel in
antimicrobial resistance and appropriate
use of antibiotics and the funding of
eligible entities to increase capacity to
detect, monitor, and combat
antimicrobial resistance. Through the
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention’s SHEPheRD funding
mechanism, the University of Utah has
been awarded a contract to perform
such work as stated above within a
research framework in the urgent care
setting, with interventions based on the
Core Elements of Outpatient Antibiotic
Stewardship. Intermountain Healthcare
is the subcontractor for this work, and
operates the clinics participating in the
intervention arm of this research study.
The proposed request for data collection
will allow Intermountain Healthcare to
explore knowledge, attitudes, and
practices among clinicians to identify
barriers and facilitators after the
implementation of the antibiotic
stewardship program in the urgent care
setting of participating clinics. CDC
requests approval for 207 estimated
annualized burden hours. There is no
cost to respondents other than their
time.

Proposed Project
National Notifiable Diseases
Surveillance System (OMB Control No.
0920–0728, Exp. 4/30/2022)—
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. 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.
CDC requests a three-year approval for
a Revision for the NNDSS (OMB Control
No. 0920–0728, Expiration Date 04/30/
2022). This Revision includes requests
for approval to: (1) Receive case
notification data for Blastomycosis
which is now under standardized
surveillance; (2) receive case
notification data for 2019-Novel
Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) which was
declared a public health emergency of
international concern by the World
Health Organization (WHO) on 01/30/
2020 and declared a public health
emergency by the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS) on
01/31/2020; and (3) receive diseasespecific data elements for Carbon
Monoxide (CO) Poisoning, Congenital
Syphilis, and Sexually Transmitted
Disease (not congenital).
The NNDSS currently facilitates the
submission and aggregation of case
notification data voluntarily submitted
to CDC from 60 jurisdictions: Public

health departments in every U.S. state,
New York City, Washington DC, five
U.S. territories (American Samoa, the
Commonwealth of Northern Mariana
Islands, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the U.S.
Virgin Islands), and three freely
associated states (Federated States of
Micronesia, the Republic of the
Marshall Islands, and the Republic of
Palau). This information is shared
across jurisdictional boundaries and
both surveillance and prevention and
control activities are coordinated at
regional and national levels.
Approximately 90% of case
notifications are encrypted and
submitted to NNDSS electronically from
already existing databases by automated
electronic messages. When automated
transmission is not possible, case
notifications are faxed, emailed,
uploaded to a secure network, or
entered into a secure website. All case
notifications that are faxed, emailed,
and uploaded are done so in the form
of an aggregate weekly or annual report,
not individual cases. These different
mechanisms used to send case
notifications to CDC vary by the
jurisdiction and the disease or
condition. Private personally
identifiable information (PII) is
collected from automated electronic
messages and information can be
retrieved by PII. In addition, some
combinations of submitted data
elements could potentially be used to
identify individuals. Private information
is not to be disclosed unless otherwise
compelled by law. All data are treated
in a secure manner consistent with the
technical, administrative, and
operational controls required by the
Federal Information Security
Management Act of 2002 (FISMA) and
the 2010 National Institute of Standards
and Technology (NIST) Recommended
Security Controls for Federal
Information Systems and Organizations.
Weekly tables of nationally notifiable
diseases are available through CDC
WONDER and data.cdc.gov. Annual
summaries of finalized nationally
notifiable disease data are published on
CDC WONDER and data.cdc.gov, and
disease-specific data are published by
individual CDC programs.
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
for modernizing surveillance systems as
part of NNDSS Modernization Initiative
(NMI) implementation, separate burden
