SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 
(PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), Federal agencies must obtain approval from 
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of 
information they conduct or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also requires 
Federal agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal Register 
concerning each proposed collection of information, including each new 
proposed collection, each proposed extension of existing collection of 
information, and each reinstatement of previously approved information 
collection before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To 
comply with this requirement, we are publishing this notice of a 
proposed data collection as described below.
    Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the agency, including

[[Page 26052]]

whether the information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy 
of the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of 
information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of 
the information to be collected; (d) ways to minimize the burden of the 
collection of information on respondents, including through the use of 
automated collection techniques or other forms of information 
technology; and (e) estimates of capital or start-up costs and costs of 
operation, maintenance, and purchase of services to provide 
information. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial 
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose 
or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This includes the 
time needed to review instructions; to develop, acquire, install and 
utilize technology and systems for the purpose of collecting, 
validating and verifying information, processing and maintaining 
information, and disclosing and providing information; to train 
personnel and to be able to respond to a collection of information, to 
search data sources, to complete and review the collection of 
information; and to transmit or otherwise disclose the information.

Proposed Project

    Emerging Infections Program--(OMB Control No. 0920-0978, Expires 8/
31/2016)--Revision--National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic 
Infectious Diseases (NCEZID), Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The Emerging Infections Programs (EIPs) are population-based 
centers of excellence established through a network of state health 
departments collaborating with academic institutions; local health 
departments; public health and clinical laboratories; infection control 
professionals; and healthcare providers. EIPs assist in local, state, 
and national efforts to prevent, control, and monitor the public health 
impact of infectious diseases. Various parts of the EIP have received 
separate Office of Management and Budget (OMB) clearances (Active 
Bacterial Core Surveillance [ABCs]--OMB number 0920-0802 and All Age 
Influenza Hospitalization Surveillance--OMB number 0920-0852); however 
this request seeks to have all core EIP activities under one clearance.
    Activities of the EIPs fall into the following general categories: 
(1) Active surveillance; (2) applied public health epidemiologic and 
laboratory activities; (3) implementation and evaluation of pilot 
prevention/intervention projects; and (4) flexible response to public 
health emergencies.
    Activities of the EIPs are designed to: (1) Address issues that the 
EIP network is particularly suited to investigate; (2) maintain 
sufficient flexibility for emergency response and new problems as they 
arise; (3) develop and evaluate public health interventions to inform 
public health policy and treatment guidelines; (4) incorporate training 
as a key function; and (5) prioritize projects that lead directly to 
the prevention of disease.
    Proposed respondents will include state health departments who may 
collaborate with one or more of the following: Academic institutions, 
local health departments, public health and clinical laboratories, 
infection control professionals, and healthcare providers. Frequency of 
reporting will be determined as cases arise.
    The total estimated burden is 22,755 hours. There is no cost to 
respondents other than their time.

                                                            Estimated Annualized Burden Hours
