Proposed Collection; 60-Day Comment Request: United States and 
Global Human Influenza Surveillance in at-Risk Settings

SUMMARY: In compliance with the requirement of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, for opportunity for public comment 
on proposed data collection projects, the National Institute of Allergy 
and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), National Institutes of Health (NIH), 
will publish periodic summaries of proposed projects to be submitted to 
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval.
    Written comments and/or suggestions from the public and affected 
agencies are invited on one or more of the following points: (1) 
Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the 
proper performance of the function of the agency, including whether the 
information will have practical utility; (2) The accuracy of the 
agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of 
information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions 
used; (3) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and (4) Ways to minimize the burden of the 
collection of information on those who are to respond, including the 
use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other 
technological collection techniques or other forms of information 
technology.

To Submit Comments and for Further Information:  To request more 
information on the proposed project or to obtain a copy of the data 
collection plans and instruments, contact Dr. Diane Post, Program 
Officer, Respiratory Diseases Branch, NIAID, NIH 5601 Fishers Lane, 
Bethesda, MD or call non-toll-free number at 240-627-3348 or email your 
request, including your address to: [email protected].

DATES:  Comment Due Date: Comments regarding this information 
collection are best assured of having their full effect if received 
within 60 days of the date of this publication.
    Proposed Collection: United States and Global Human Influenza 
Surveillance in at-Risk Settings, 0925-NEW, National Institute of 
Allergies and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), National Institutes of 
Health (NIH).
    Need and Use of Information Collection: These studies will identify 
individuals with or at risk for influenza through focused surveillance 
in at-risk settings within the United States and internationally, 
rapidly identify circulating influenza strains to identify those with 
pandemic potential and create an invaluable bank of human samples from 
influenza patients to allow the characterization of the determinants of 
influenza transmission to and among humans, the immune response to 
influenza, and the basis of severe disease--critical knowledge gaps 
impacting effectiveness of decision-making around patient care and 
pandemic preparedness. These studies will provide insight into viral 
and host determinants that may be contributing to the transmission of 
influenza, immune response to influenza, and severity of influenza and 
associated morbidity and mortality.
    OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to 
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized 
burden hours for the entire 3 year request are 1,500.
