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

food safety by monitoring progress
toward CDC Healthy People 2020
objectives.
Evaluation of efforts to control
foodborne illnesses can only be done
effectively if there is an accurate
estimate of the total number of illness
that occur and if these estimates are
recalculated and monitored over time.
Estimates of the total burden start with
accurate and reliable estimates of the
number of acute gastrointestinal illness
episodes that occur in the general
community. To more precisely estimate
this and to describe the frequency of
important exposures associated with
illness, FoodNet created the Population
Survey.
The FoodNet Population Survey is a
survey of persons residing in the
surveillance area. Data are collected on
the prevalence and severity of acute
gastrointestinal illness in the general
population, describe common
symptoms associated with diarrhea, and
determine the proportion of persons
with diarrhea who seek medical care.
The survey also collects data on
exposures (e.g. food, water, animal
contact) commonly associated with
foodborne illness. Information about
food exposures in the general public has
proved invaluable during outbreak
investigations. The ability to compare
exposures reported by outbreak cases to
the ‘background’ exposure in the general
population allows investigators to more
quickly pinpoint a source and enact
control measures.
To date, five 12-month cycles of the
survey have been completed: 1996–
1997, 1998–1999, 2000–2001, 2002–
2003, and 2006–2007. Data has been
shared with participating state health
departments and multiple programs at
CDC, is available to the public through
a summary report posted to the FoodNet
Web site, and also available via
individual data requests. More than two
dozen manuscripts highlighting
population survey data have been
published.
CDC seeks approval for an OMB
Control number to continue this
important work. There is no cost to the
respondents other than their time.

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.

Background and Brief Description
Foodborne illnesses represent a
significant public health burden in the
United States. It is estimated that each
year, 48 million Americans (1 in 6)
become ill, 128,000 are hospitalized,
and 3,000 die as the result of a
foodborne illness. Since 1996, the
Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance
Network (FoodNet) has conducted
active population-based surveillance for
Campylobacter, Cryptosporidium,
Cyclospora, Listeria, Salmonella, Shiga
toxin-producing Escherichia coli O157
and non-O157, Shigella, Vibrio, and
Yersinia infections. Data from FoodNet
serves as the nation’s ‘‘report card’’ on
