Disease Summaries (OMB Control Number 0920-0004, Expires 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 proposed revision of the ``National Disease Surveillance Program II. Disease Summaries'' information collection project. 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. [[Page 41268]] Diseases included 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 also 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 frequency of response for each form will depend on the disease and surveillance need. This represents a 7,116 burden hour reduction since last approval. This reduction in burden hours is attributed primarily to the discontinuation of previously approved forms and formatting changes to existing forms. The total time burden estimate for all collection instruments in this revision request is 24,805. There are no costs to the respondents other than their time.
