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 JEANPUBLIC1@YAHOO.COM [Federal Register Volume 79, Number 179 (Tuesday, September 16, 2014)] [Notices] [Pages 55495-55496] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Printing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 2014-22009] ======================================================================= ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [60Day-14-14AYK] 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 omb@cdc.gov. 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.
