PUBLIC COMMENT ON FEDERAL REGISTER

I AM TOTALLY OPPOSED TO CDC GETTING TAX DOLLARS FOR THIS

UNIMPORTANT WASTEFUL COLLECTION OF INFORMATION. THE FACT IS THAT

THIS AGENCY PREPARES FAKE INFORMATION ON FLU SO THEY CAN PUSH THE

SALE OF VACCINES. PUSHIGN THE SALE OF VACCINES HELPS THEIR PALS IN BIG

PHARMA AND BIG MEDICINE AND MAYBE GIVES THEM JOBS IN THE

REVOLLVING DOOR TO LOOK FORWARD TO.

THE WHOLE SYSTEM IS CORRUPT AS CAN BE. FIRST OF ALL, THEIR DEATH

CERTIFICATE INFORMATION ON WHO DIES FROM FLU IS AS CORFRUPT AND

FAKE AS CAN BE. THERE HAVE BEEN STUDIES DONE ON HOW DEATH

CERTIFICIATES DO NOT DO THE REQUIRED EXAMINATION OF A DEAD PERSON

TO SEE WHAT THEY DIED FROM AND JUST LIST ANY OLD THING ON DEATH

CERTIFICATES. THAT CANNOT BE RELIEF UPON WHEN THE CDC SENDS OUT

THERIR HYSTERICAL WARNINGS ABOUT WHAT FLU CAN DO. THIS AGENCY IS

SICK AND FAKE AND NO TAXPAYER DOLLARS HSOULD BE GOING TO THE

HYSTERIA THAT THIS AGENCY FOMENTS IN THE USA.

THEIR INFORMATION IS FAKE. I TOTALLYH OPPOSE TAKING TAX DOLLARS TO

GIVE TO THIS FAKERY CONTINUING. THIS COMMENT IS FOR THE PUBLIC

RECORD. PLEASE RECEIPT. JEAN PUBLIC [email protected]

Proposed Data Collections Submitted for Public Comment and

Recommendations

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as part of

its continuing effort to reduce public burden, invites the general

public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment

on proposed and/or continuing information collections, as required by

the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. To request more information on the

below proposed project or to obtain a copy of the information

collection plan and instruments, call 404-639-7570 or send comments to

Leroy A. Richardson, 1600 Clifton Road, MS-D74, Atlanta, GA 30333 or

send an email to [email protected].

Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized

and/or included in the request for Office of Management and Budget

(OMB) approval. 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;(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; and (e)

estimates of capital or start-up costs and costs of operation,

maintenance, and purchase of services to provide information. Burden

means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by

persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose or provide information

to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time needed to review

instructions; to develop, acquire, install and utilize technology and

systems for the purpose of collecting, validating and verifying

information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and

providing information; to train personnel and to be able to respond to

a collection of information, to search data sources, to complete and

review the collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise

disclose the information. Written comments should be received within 60

days of this notice.

Proposed Project

Information Collection on Cause-Specific Absenteeism in Schools

(Pittsburgh Location)--New--National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic

Infectious Diseases (NCEZID), Division of Global Migration and

Quarantine (DGMQ), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National

Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (NCEZID), Division

of Global Migration and Quarantine (DGMQ), requests approval of a new

information collection to better understand the triggers, timing and

duration of the use of school related measures for preventing and

controlling the spread of influenza during the next pandemic.

The information collection for which approval is sought is in

accordance with DGMQ/CDC's mission to reduce morbidity and mortality in

mobile populations, and to prevent the introduction, transmission, or

spread of communicable diseases within the United States. Insights

gained from this information collection will assist in the planning and

implementation of CDC Pre-Pandemic Guidance on the use of school

related measures, including school closures, to slow transmission

during an influenza pandemic.

School closures were considered an important measure during the

earliest stage of the 2009 H1N1 pandemic, because a pandemic vaccine

was not available until October (6 months later), and sufficient stocks

to immunize all school-age children were not available until December.

However, retrospective review of the U.S. government response to the

pandemic identified a limited evidence-base regarding the

effectiveness, acceptability, and feasibility of various school related

measures during mild or moderately severe pandemics. Guidance updates

will require an evidence-based rationale for determining the

appropriate triggers, timing, and duration of school related measures,

including school closures, during a pandemic.

CDC staff proposes that the information collection for this package

will target adult and child populations in three school districts in

Pennsylvania. CDC will collect reports of individual student symptoms,

vaccination status, recent travel, recent exposure to people with

influenza symptoms and duration of illness; this will be accomplished

through telephone, in-person interviews, and a web-based survey. This

information will be used to estimate baseline school absenteeism due to

influenza as well as to evaluate the use of absentee recording systems

in predicting community-wide influenza transmission.

Findings obtained from this information collection will be used to

inform the update CDC's Pre-pandemic Guidance on the implementation of

school related measures to prevent the spread of influenza, especially

school closures. This Guidance is used as an important planning and

reference tool for both State and local health departments in the

United States.

CDC estimates that 2,860 participants could be recruited by

information collections covered by this information collection. It is

estimated that information collection activities will total 1,109

burden hours per year.

There is no cost to respondents other than their time.
