Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
- [30Day-26-0004] In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has submitted the information collection request titled “National Disease Surveillance Program II—Disease Summaries” to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval. CDC previously published a “Proposed Data Collection Submitted for Public Comment and Recommendations” notice on January 13, 2026 to obtain comments from the public and affected agencies. CDC received one comment related to the previous notice. This notice serves to allow an additional 30 days for public and affected agency comments.
CDC will accept all comments for this proposed information collection project. The Office of Management and Budget is particularly interested in comments that:
(a) 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;
(b) Evaluate the accuracy of the agencies estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
(c) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected;
(d) 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 submission of responses; and
(e) Assess information collection costs.
To request additional information on the proposed project or to obtain a copy of the information collection plan and instruments, call (404) 639-7570. Comments and recommendations for the proposed information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find this particular information collection by selecting “Currently under 30-day Review—Open for Public Comments” or by using the search function. Direct written comments and/or suggestions regarding the items contained in this notice to the Attention: CDC Desk Officer, Office of Management and Budget, 725 17th Street NW, Washington, DC 20503 or by fax to (202) 395-5806. Provide written comments within 30 days of notice publication.
Proposed Project
National Disease Surveillance Program II. Disease Summaries (OMB Control No. 0920-0004, Exp. 4/30/2026)—Revision—National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases (NCIRD), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
CDC requests a three-year approval for a Revision with minimal modifications of the National Disease Surveillance Program II. Disease Summaries (OMB Control No. 0920-0004) information collection. As with previous approvals, these data are essential for measuring trends in diseases, evaluating the effectiveness of current preventive strategies, and determining the need to modify current preventive measures. Diseases included in this surveillance program are Influenza Virus, Caliciviruses, Respiratory and Enteric Viruses, Enteroviruses, Adenoviruses, Arthropod-Borne Diseases (Non-Human Data), and Pediatric Hepatitis of Unknown Etiology. Data will be used to determine the prevalence of disease and planning and evaluating programs for prevention and control of infectious diseases. Disease incidence is needed to study present and emerging disease problems.
The request for an Revision with minimal modifications includes: 11 Influenza forms, Suspect Respiratory Virus Patient Form, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS) Patient Under Investigation (PUI) Form, Viral Gastroenteritis Outbreak Submission Form, National Respiratory and Enteric Virus Surveillance System (NREVSS) Laboratory Assessment and National Enterovirus Surveillance Report, National Adenovirus Type Reporting System (NATRS) Form, Pediatric Hepatitis of Unknown Etiology Medical Record Abstraction Form (CRF) and Pediatric Hepatitis of Unknown Etiology Medical Record Abstraction short form version, and Arthropod (Vector)-Borne Diseases (Non-Human Data). These forms will have minor edits with very little burden change from last OMB approval. The data from these forms will enable rapid detection and characterization of outbreaks of known pathogens, as well as potential newly emerging viral pathogens.
CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 27,517 annual burden hours. There is no cost to respondents other than their time to participate. ( printed page 17657)
