This ICR is approved consistent with an understanding that, because this collection is not designed to be nationally representative, CDC must always transparently articulate the limitations with respect to generalizability. In addition, consistent with OMBâs Memorandum M-13-13, CDC should be making de-identified data from FoodNet collections available to the public in a form that can be downloaded and analyzed. Subsequent clearances will be contingent on meeting these terms of clearance. Finally, any changes made as a result of the pilot study will need to be submitted as a non-substantive change prior to fielding the full survey.

The FoodNet Population survey will be conducted in 10 states over 2 years. The objectives are to provide data to estimate the burden of acute diarrheal illness in the US and to assess the frequency of exposures commonly associated with foodborne infections. Information will be used to update burden estimates and information hypothesis leading to faster outbreak investigations. Minor changes to the FoodNet questionnaire were proposed in October 2016 to improve clarity and ease of administration.
