Subject: Fw: PUBLIC COMMENT ON FEDERAL REGISTER completely unnecessary expensive attempt to get into schools - shut this down, buddget to zero

  :

 

I DO NOT SUPPORT CDC GETTING INTO SCHOOL INFORMATION. I SEE THEM MISUING SCHOOL ABSENCE DATA BY CALLING THEM FLU DEATHS WHEN THEY ARE NOT FLU DEATHS. THEY USE IT AS A SPRINGBOARD.

CDC MISUSES INFORMATION ON SCHOOL ABSENCES AND MAKES FLU TO BE MAJOR. FLU IS NOT A MAJOR PROBLEM FOR MOST PEOPLE IN THE USA BUT CDC TRIES TO MISUSE AND CALL ANY FLU A PANDEMIC. THAT IS WRONG. I DO NOT SUPPORT CDC GETTING INTO SCHOOLS. THEY ARE NOT RELIABLE OR RESPONSIBLE. CDC WORKS FOR BIG PHARMA, NOT FOR THE GOOD OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. CDC WANTS THE RIGHT TO CONTROL OUR BODIES, SO WE HAVE NO CONTROL LEFT OV ER OUR OWN BODIES. THAT IS REPREHENSIBLE AND EVOCATIVE OF NAZI GERMANY. THIS AGENCY IS AN EXAMPLE OF GOVT RUN AMUK AND OUT OF CONTROL AND FORGETTING ITS PLACE. IT NEEDS TO LEAVE PERFECTLY HEALTHY PEOPLE ALONE. THIS COMMENT IS FOR THE PUBILC RECORD. PLEASE RECEIPT.

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 Richardson, 1600 Clifton Road, MS-D74, Atlanta, GA 30333 or send
an email to [email protected].
    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--
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 a school district in
Wisconsin. 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 and in-person interviews.
    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.
    There is no cost to respondents other than their time.
