SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA)
(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal agencies
must obtain approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for each
collection of information they conduct
or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also
requires Federal agencies to provide a
60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each new
proposed collection, each proposed
extension of existing collection of
information, and each reinstatement of
previously approved information
collection before submitting the
collection to OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are
publishing this notice of a proposed
data collection as described below.
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.

0920–0728, Expires 01/31/2017)—
Revision—Center for Surveillance,
Epidemiology and Laboratory Services
(CSELS), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
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 Diseases 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. Infectious disease agents and
environmental hazards often cross
geographical boundaries. Each year, the
Council of State and Territorial Disease
Epidemiologists (CSTE), supported by
CDC, determines which reportable
conditions should be designated
nationally notifiable and voluntarily
submitted to CDC so that information
can be shared across jurisdictional
boundaries and both surveillance and
prevention and control activities can be

average burden per response based on
the burden tables from all of the
consolidated applications has not
changed. The burden on the states and
cities is estimated to be 10 hours per
response and the burden on the
territories is estimated to be 5 hours per
response. The addition of new vaccine,
laboratory, and disease-specific data
elements do not add any additional
burden because the states, territories,
and cities already collect those data
elements. There will be no increase in
burden for the states, territories, and
cities to send those data elements to
CDC. The estimated annual burden is
28,340 hours.

coordinated at regional and national
levels.
CDC requests a three-year approval for
a revision the NNDSS information
collection. This Revision includes
requests for approval to receive: (1) Case
notification data for Chikungunya,
Dengue-like illness, Non-HPS
Hantavirus, and Acute Flaccid Myelitis;
(2) new laboratory and vaccine data
elements for all conditions; and (3) new
disease-specific data elements for
Mumps, Pertussis, and Sexually
Transmitted Diseases.
