Background and Brief Description
The Public Health Services Act (42
U.S.C. 241) authorizes CDC to
disseminate nationally notifiable
condition information. The Nationally
Notifiable Disease Surveillance System
(NNDSS) is based on data collected at
the state, territorial and local levels as
a result of legislation and regulations in
those jurisdictions that require health
care providers, medical laboratories,
and other entities to submit healthrelated data on reportable conditions to
public health departments. These
reportable conditions, which include
infectious and non-infectious diseases,
vary by jurisdiction depending upon
each jurisdiction’s health priorities and
needs. Currently approximately 300
conditions are reportable in one or more
of the states. Since infectious disease
agents and environmental hazards often
cross geographical boundaries, public
health departments have to be able to
share data on certain conditions across
jurisdictions and coordinate program
activities to prevent and control the
conditions. Each year, the Council of
State and Territorial Disease
Epidemiologists (CSTE), supported by
CDC, performs an assessment of
conditions reported to state, territorial
and local jurisdictions to determine
which should be designated nationally
notifiable conditions. For conditions

that are nationally notifiable, case
notifications are voluntarily submitted
to CDC so that information can be
shared across jurisdictional boundaries
and both surveillance and prevention
and control activities can be
coordinated at regional and national
levels.
CDC requests a three-year approval for
a Revision for the National Notifiable
Diseases Surveillance System (NNDSS),
[National Electronic Disease
Surveillance System (NEDSS, OMB
Control No. 0920–0728, Expiration Date
01/31/2014]. This request has been
developed in coordination with four
other CDC applications to OMB for
nationally notifiable diseases case
notification: Control Nos. 0920–0128,
(Congenital Syphilis Surveillance),
0920–0819 (Nationally Notifiable
Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD)
Morbidity Surveillance) 0920–0009
(National Disease Surveillance
Program—I. Case Reports) and 0920–
0004 (National Disease Surveillance
Program—II. Disease Summaries). This
consolidation of information collection
0920–0128 and some parts of
information collections 0920–0819,
0920–0009 and 0920–0004, is an
important step in implementing CDC’s
longer term strategy of developing a
more coordinated and integrated
infectious diseases surveillance system
that reduces overlap and duplication;
increases interoperability, integration
and efficiency; and thereby reduces
burden to state, territorial and local
health departments that report
infectious disease data to CDC. Due to
the coordination, this NNDSS
application includes 11 conditions and
many additional data elements for the
case notifications that were not
previously included in NNDSS OMB
application Control No. 0920–0728. For
many conditions submitted to CDC,

0920–0728). As CDC works with state,
territorial and local health departments
to develop and implement new
information technologies to submit
these data through NNDSS, burden will
also increase as the public health
departments commit resources to
implementing the new technologies.
However, over the next 3 years, as the
new automated electronic systems are
implemented, burden will be decreased.
The estimated annual burden is 28,340
hours.

application and replaces parts of three
other OMB applications, burden
estimates have been adjusted to
incorporate burden estimates from the
other four applications. The estimates
are adjusted for the increased number of
conditions reported to NNDSS, the
expansion of core data elements, and
the inclusion of more disease-specific
tables. These changes have increased
the burden estimates in this application
in comparison with the burden
estimates in the 2010 NNDSS/NEDSS
OMB application (OMB Control No.

participating public health departments
also submit data elements which are
specific to each condition. With the
coordination with other CDC programs
conducting surveillance on notifiable
conditions, this application includes
disease-specific tables for 68 diseases.
The 2010 NNDSS OMB application
included disease-specific data elements
for only 14 of those conditions.
Because this information collection
request includes case notifications that
were not part of the 2010 NNDSS/
NEDSS application, replaces one

Proposed Project
Evaluation of Core Violence and
Injury Prevention Program (Core
VIPP)—Revision—(0920–0916,
Expiration 1/13/2014)—National Center
for Injury Prevention and Control
(NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Injuries and their consequences,
including unintentional and violencerelated injuries, are the leading cause of
death for the first four decades of life,
regardless of gender, race, or
socioeconomic status. More than
179,000 individuals in the United States
die each year as a result of unintentional
injuries and violence, more than 29
million others suffer non-fatal injuries
and over one-third of all emergency
department (ED) visits each year are due
to injuries. In 2000, injuries and
violence ultimately cost the United
States $406 billion, with over $80
billion in medical costs and the
remainder lost in productivity. Most

events that result in injury and/or death
from injury could be prevented if
evidence-based public health strategies,
practices, and policies were used
throughout the nation.
CDC’s National Center for Injury
Prevention and Control (NCIPC) is
committed to working with their
partners to promote action that reduces
injuries, violence, and disabilities by
providing leadership in identifying
priorities, promoting tools, and
monitoring effectiveness of injury and
violence prevention and to promote
effective strategies for the prevention of
injury and violence, and their
consequences. One tool NCIPC will use
to accomplish this is the Core Violence
and Injury Prevention Program (Core
VIPP). This program funds state health
departments (SHDs) to build their
capacity to disseminate, implement, and
evaluate evidence-based/best practice
programs and policies. Although some
states were funded previously through
similar CDC-funded programs, this
evaluation will only consider the
implementation and outcomes of Core
VIPP during the five-year funding
period from August 2011 to July 2016.
The program includes one Basic
Integration Component (BIC) and four
expanded components: Regional
Network Leader (RNLs), Surveillance
Quality Improvement (SQI), Motor
Vehicle Child Injury Prevention Policy
(MVP), and Multi-component
Interventions in Multiple Setting to
Prevent Falls in Older Adults (Falls).
This Core VIPP evaluation only includes
the BIC, RNL, SQI, and MVP
