This information collection is
designed to collect the MDN and response-specific data as needed,
for confirmed, probable, and suspected cases of any disease or
condition that is the subject of an emergency response at CDC.
During an emergency response, CDC uses case data to inform actions
that need to be taken at all levels of public health and by the
public. State, tribal, local, and territorial (STLT) health
departments and CDC need to exchange data on confirmed, probable,
and suspected cases rapidly. Timely notification of cases from STLT
to CDC is critical to provide situational awareness at the federal
level to support decision making, particularly for public health
threats. This Change Request is submitted to add new disease
specific data elements (fields for outbreak status, CDC outbreak
name, exposure dates, fields for 'other') for collection by CDC
when individual GenICs are submitted under the 0920-1447 umbrella.
Since each individual GenIC will differ, and will collect different
data elements, there are no anticipated changes to the
burden.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
