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; and (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. Written comments should
be received within 60 days of this
notice.
Proposed Project
Conduct a Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Registry Pilot Test (Bibb County,
Georgia)—New—National Center for
Infectious Diseases (NCID) Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
CDC is tasked with establishing a
registry of chronic fatigue syndrome
(CFS) and other fatiguing illnesses. The
objective of the registry is to identify
persons with unexplained fatiguing
illnesses, including CFS, who access the
healthcare system because of their
symptoms. Patients will be between the
ages of 12 and 59, inclusive.

Specific aims of the registry are; (1)
Identify and enroll patients with CFS
and other unexplained fatiguing
illnesses who are receiving medical and
ancillary medical care and describe
their epidemiologic and clinical
characteristics; (2) follow CFS patients
and patients with other fatiguing
illnesses over time to characterize the
natural history of CFS and other
unexplained fatiguing illnesses; (3)
assess and monitor health care
providers’ knowledge, attitudes, and
beliefs concerning CFS; (4) and to
identify well-characterized CFS patients
for clinical studies and intervention
trials. These specific aims require
inclusion of subjects in early stages of
CFS (i.e., ill less than one year duration)
who can be followed longitudinally to
assess changes in their CFS symptoms.
Data on persons with CFS in the general
population has been collected in a
separate study and is not an objective of
this Registry.
In order to determine the most
effective and cost-efficient design for
achieving the objective and specific
aims, CDC will conduct a pilot test of
the Registry of CFS and other fatiguing
illnesses in Bibb County, Georgia. The
CFS Registry Pilot Test will assess two
Registry designs for efficacy and
efficiency in identifying adult and
adolescent subjects with CFS who are

receiving medical and ancillary medical
care. Specifically, the CFS Registry Pilot
Test will evaluate surveillance of
patients with CFS identified through
physician practices and a surveillance
of CFS patients identified by physicians
and other health care providers.
The proposed study will begin when
a provider refers a patient to the

registry. Patients who consent to be
contacted for the registry will be asked
to complete a detailed telephone
interview that screens for medical and
psychiatric eligibility. Eligible subjects
will be invited to have a clinical
evaluation that comprises a physical
examination; collection of blood, urine,

and saliva specimens; a mental health
interview; and self-administered
questionnaires.
There is no cost to respondents other
than their time. Patients who are
clinically evaluated will be reimbursed
for their time and effort. The total
annualized burden hours are 2,557.

Agency Information Collection
Activities: Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request
Periodically, the Health Resources
and Services Administration (HRSA)
publishes abstracts of information
collection requests under review by the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB), in compliance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44

U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request a copy of
the clearance requests submitted to
OMB for review, call the HRSA Reports
Clearance Office on (301) 443–1129.
The following request has been
submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget for review under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995:
Proposed Project: Bureau of Primary
Health Care (BPHC) Uniform Data
System (OMB No. 0915–0193) Revision
The Uniform Data System (UDS)
contains the annual reporting
requirements for the cluster of primary
care grantees funded by the HRSA. The
UDS includes reporting requirements
for grantees of the following primary
care programs: Community Health
Centers, Migrant Health Centers, Health
Care for the Homeless, Public Housing
Primary Care, and other grantees under
section 330. The authorizing statute is
section 330 of the Public Health Service
Act, as amended.

HRSA collects data in the UDS which
is used to ensure compliance with
legislative mandates and to report to
Congress and policy makers on program
accomplishments. To meet these
objectives, BPHC requires a core set of
data collected annually that is
appropriate for monitoring and
evaluating performance and reporting
on annual trends.
The 2008 calendar year UDS will be
revised in several ways. Certain UDS
tables are being proposed for
elimination or modification to
streamline data collection and reporting.
A limited number of clinical measures
will be added for reporting quality of
care, health outcomes, and disparities
data. In addition, the tool used to report
calendar year UDS data will be changed
to a Web based tool.
