The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as part of its continuing efforts to reduce public burden and maximize the utility of government information, invites the general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on proposed and/or continuing information collections, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This notice invites comment on the revision of the National Disease Surveillance Program II Disease Summaries information collection. These surveillance data are essential on the local, state, and federal levels for measuring trends in diseases, evaluating the effectiveness of current preventive strategies, and determining the need to modify current preventive measures.

[60Day-17-0004: Docket No. CDC-2017-0035]


Proposed Data Collection Submitted for Public Comment and 
Recommendations

AGENCY: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Department of 
Health and Human Services (HHS).

ACTION: Notice with comment period.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as part 
of its continuing efforts to reduce public burden and maximize the 
utility of government information, invites the general public and other 
Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on proposed and/or 
continuing information collections, as required by the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995. This notice invites comment on the revision of 
the National Disease Surveillance Program II Disease Summaries 
information collection. These surveillance data are essential on the 
local, state, and federal levels for measuring trends in diseases, 
evaluating the effectiveness of current preventive strategies, and 
determining the need to modify current preventive measures.

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before June 19, 2017.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. CDC-2017-
0035 by any of the following methods:
     Federal eRulemaking Portal: Regulations.gov. Follow the 
instructions for submitting comments.
     Mail: Leroy A. Richardson, Information Collection Review 
Office, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1600 Clifton Road 
NE., MS-D74, Atlanta, Georgia 30329.
    Instructions: All submissions received must include the agency name 
and Docket Number. All relevant comments received will be posted 
without change to Regulations.gov, including any personal information 
provided. For access to the docket to read background documents or 
comments received, go to Regulations.gov.

    Please note:  All public comment should be submitted through the 
Federal eRulemaking portal (Regulations.gov) or by U.S. mail to the 
address listed above.


FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To request more information on the 
proposed project or to obtain a copy of the information collection plan 
and instruments, contact the Information Collection Review Office, 
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1600 Clifton Road NE., MS-
D74, Atlanta, Georgia 30329; phone: 404-639-7570; Email: omb@cdc.gov.

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 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

    National Disease Surveillance Program II Disease Summaries (OMB 
Control Number 0920-0004, Expiration Date 10/31/2017)--Revision--
National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, Centers for 
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    CDC requests a three-year approval for the revision of the National 
Disease Surveillance Program II Disease Summaries information 
collection.
    As with the previous approval, these data are essential for 
measuring trends in diseases, evaluating the effectiveness of current 
preventive strategies, and determining the need to modify current 
preventive measures. The following diseases in this surveillance 
program are Influenza Virus, Caliciviruses, Respiratory and Enteric 
Viruses, Foodborne Outbreaks, Waterborne Outbreaks and Enteroviruses. 
Proposed revisions include form consolidation, minor revised language 
and rewording to improve clarity and readability of the data collection 
forms and the discontinuation of multiple previously approved influenza 
collection instruments, and the National Respiratory & Enteric Virus 
Surveillance System (NREVSS) Laboratory Assessment (CDC 55.83). CDC 
requests the use of a new form, Suspect Respiratory Virus Patient Form, 
to assist health departments and clinical sites when they submit 
specimens to the CDC lab for viral pathogen identification. The data 
will enable rapid detection and characterization of outbreaks of known 
pathogens, as well as potential newly emerging viral pathogens.
    The total burden estimate for all collection instruments in this 
revision request is 24,804. The frequency of response for each form 
will depend on the disease and surveillance need. This represents a 
7,117 burden hour reduction since last approval. This

[[Page 18460]]

reduction in burden hours is attributed primarily to the 
discontinuation of previously approved forms and formatting changes to 
existing forms.

                                                            Estimated Annualized Burden Hours
