THE PROPOSAL TO
REVISE THE CONGENITAL RUBELLA SYNDROME CASE REPORT IS NOT APPROVED
ON THE GROUNDS THAT THE ADDITIONAL DATA ELEMENTS WILL IMPOSE A
SIGNIFICANT BURDEN AND ARE NOT CONSISTENT WITH THE MINIMAL DATA
REQUIREMENTS OF THE OTHER CASE REPORTS. APPROVAL OF THE CURRENT
CONGENITAL RUBELLA SYNDROME CASE REPORT, CDC 4.27, IS CONTINUED
THROUGH MAY 1985. ANY FUTURE REQUEST FOR APPROVAL MUST BE
ACCOMPANIED BY ADDITIONAL JUSTIFICATION FOR THE INCLUSION OF
PERSONAL IDENTIFIERS, AS THIS APPEARS INCONSISTENT WITH THE HHS/OMB
AGREEMENT TO ELIMINATE PERSONAL IDENTIFIERS UNLESS ABSOLUTELY
NECESSARY.
