CDC previously published a ‘‘Proposed Data Collection Submitted for Public Comment and Recommendations’’ notice on July 22, 2022 to obtain comments from the public and affected agencies. CDC received three 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 Proposed Project School-Based Active Surveillance (SBAS) of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/ Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) Among Schoolchildren: Phase-2 of the National Roll-Out—New—National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (NCEZID), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), a complex, chronic, debilitating multi-system disease, affects an estimated 836,000 to 2.5 million persons in the United States. However, about 90% of people with ME/CFS have not received an official diagnosis from a healthcare professional.

Data on chronic conditions among schoolchildren, such as asthma, has been collected over the years, but there has been little to no emphasis on ME/ CFS in the United States. Chronic conditions among school-aged children likely account for a high proportion of school absenteeism and school withdrawal. Conducting active surveillance among students using school nurses could expedite the diagnosis and management of children who present with symptoms commonly seen in ME/CFS. This involves educating school nurses about ME/CFS and its related syndromes, how to best approach parents and guardians when suggesting the diagnosis, and how to support the educational success of students with chronic diseases. National active surveillance in schools (grades K–12) for ME/CFS coupled with education of school nurses about ME/CFS could help improve measuring the burden of ME/CFS in children and provide insights for future plans to improve healthcare in children suffering from ME/CFS and other chronic health conditions. In the next phase of this project, we will expand the active surveillance project beyond the pilot schools to include additional schools in the pilot states, as well as in other states. We plan to invite school nurses serving grades K–12 to participate. In this national rollout, school nurses will continue to receive education on data collection and ME/ CFS as well as technical assistance and training on using the electronic data collection reporting platform.

Proposed Project

    School-Based Active Surveillance (SBAS) of Myalgic 
Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) Among 
Schoolchildren: Phase-2 of the National Roll-Out--New--National Center 
for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (NCEZID), Centers for 
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), a 
complex, chronic, debilitating multi-system disease, affects an 
estimated 836,000 to 2.5 million persons in the United States. However, 
about 90% of people with ME/CFS have not received an official diagnosis 
from a healthcare professional. ME/CFS affects up to two in 100 
children and adolescents, which often goes undiagnosed by healthcare 
professionals.
    Data on chronic conditions among schoolchildren, such as asthma, 
has been collected over the years, but there has been little to no 
emphasis on ME/CFS in the United States. Chronic conditions among 
school-aged children likely account for a high proportion of school 
absenteeism and school withdrawal. Conducting active surveillance among 
students using school nurses could expedite the diagnosis and 
management of children who present with symptoms commonly seen in ME/
CFS. This involves educating school nurses about ME/CFS and its related 
syndromes, how to best approach parents and guardians when suggesting 
the diagnosis, and how to support the educational success of students 
with chronic diseases.
    National active surveillance in schools (grades K-12) for ME/CFS 
coupled with education of school nurses about ME/CFS could help improve 
measuring the burden of ME/CFS in children and provide insights for 
future plans to improve healthcare in children suffering from ME/CFS 
and other chronic health conditions. In the next phase of this project, 
we will expand the active surveillance project beyond the pilot schools 
to include additional schools in the pilot states, as well as in other 
states. We plan to invite school nurses serving grades K-12 to 
participate. In this national rollout, school nurses will continue to 
receive education on data collection and ME/CFS as well as technical 
assistance and training on using the electronic data collection 
reporting platform.
    CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 631 annual burden hours. 
There is no cost to respondents other than their time to participate.
