Proposed Projects

1. Congenital Syphilis (CS) Case

Investigation and Report Form (0920–

0128)—Extension—The Centers for

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)

proposes to continue data collection for

congenital syphilis case investigations

under the Congenital Syphilis Case

Investigation and Report Form (CDC

73.126 REV 11–98), currently approved

under OMB No. 0920–0128. This

request is for a 3-year extension of

clearance. Reducing congenital syphilis

is a national objective in the DHHS

Report entitled Healthy People 2000:

Mid-course Review and 1995 Revisions.

Objective 19.4 of this document states

the goal: ‘‘reduce congenital syphilis to

an incidence of no more than 40 cases

per 100,000 live births’’ by the year

2000. In order to meet this national

objective, an effective surveillance

system for congenital syphilis must be

continued in order to monitor current

levels of disease and progress towards

the year 2000 objective. This data will

also be used to develop intervention

strategies and to evaluate ongoing

control efforts.

Respondent burden is approximately

15 minutes per reported case. The

estimated annual number of cases

expected to be reported using the

current case definition is 1,000 or less.

Therefore, the total number of hours for

congenital syphilis reporting required

will be approximately 260 hours per

year. The annualized cost to the

respondents is $9,100 based on the

average hourly wage of $35.00 per hour

for respondents (clerical and nursing

staff from 65 project areas).
