active, laboratory case finding that is
used for detecting, identifying, and
monitoring emerging pathogens.
DATES: CDC must receive written
comments on or before February 20,
2018.

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 the OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are
publishing this notice of a proposed
data collection as described below.
The OMB is particularly interested in
comments that will help:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
4. Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.
5. Assess information collection costs.
Proposed Project
Emerging Infections Program (OMB
Control Number 0920–0978, Expiration
Date 2/28/2019)—Revision—National
Center for Emerging and Zoonotic
Infectious Diseases (NCEZID), Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Emerging Infections Programs
(EIPs) are population-based centers of
excellence established through a
network of state health departments
collaborating with academic
institutions; local health departments;
public health and clinical laboratories;
infection control professionals; and
healthcare providers. EIPs assist in
local, state, and national efforts to
prevent, control, and monitor the public
health impact of infectious diseases.
Activities of the EIPs fall into the
following general categories: (1) Active
surveillance; (2) applied public health
epidemiologic and laboratory activities;
(3) implementation and evaluation of
pilot prevention/intervention projects;
and (4) flexible response to public
health emergencies. Activities of the
EIPs are designed to: (1) Address issues
that the EIP network is particularly
suited to investigate; (2) maintain
sufficient flexibility for emergency
response and new problems as they
arise; (3) develop and evaluate public
health interventions to inform public
health policy and treatment guidelines;
(4) incorporate training as a key
function; and (5) prioritize projects that
lead directly to the prevention of
disease.
A revision is being submitted to make
existing forms clearer and to add several
new forms: ABCs Severe GAS Infection
Supplemental Form, HAIC Multi-site
Gram-Negative Bacilli Case Report Form
for Carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas
aeruginosa (CR–PA), HAIC Multi-site
Gram-Negative Surveillance Initiative—
Extended-Spectrum Beta-LactamaseProducing Enterobacteriaceae (MuGSI–
ESBL), HAIC Invasive Methicillinsensitive Staphylococcus aureus
(MSSA), and HAIC Candidemia Case
Report Form. These forms will allow the
EIP to better detect, identify, and
monitor emerging pathogens. The
estimates of the infection incidence
generated by this collection provide the
foundation for a variety of
epidemiologic studies to explore risk
factors, spectrum of disease, and
prevention strategies.
The total estimated burden is 40,347
hours. There is no cost to respondents
other than their time.
