This collection
is approved on the condition that CDC add the OMB number,
expiration date, and burden statement to the Health- Care Worker
Follow-Up Form. In addition, OMB notes that this collection expired
on 8/31/96 and thus is a violation under the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995. CDC should take additional steps to ensure that such
lapses do not occur in the future.
