Proposed Projects

1. Public Health Infrastructure

Surveillance and Performance

Monitoring Network—New—The

Centers for Disease Control and

Prevention (CDC) proposes to establish

a sentinel network of 320 local health

departments to provide ongoing public

health system infrastructure and

capacity data. As the nation’s

prevention agency, CDC is working to

support the U.S. public health mission

of rapidly detecting disease and health

risks, rapidly communicating and

strengthening the capacity to respond.

Towards this goal, CDC proposes to

assess and strengthen the nation’s

public health infrastructure by

developing a network of local health

departments that will provide ongoing

information to public health leaders,

policy makers, program managers and

others to identify needs, target

resources, and assist in overall

preparedness. Data gathered by survey

from the sentinel network will also lead

to improvement of the public health

communications systems and reinforced

training and credentialing for core

workforce skills, and will help in

developing standards for improved

organizational performance.

The purpose of this Sentinel System

is to: (1) Provide data to assist with

monitoring and measuring local public

health systems; (2) assess the public

health infrastructure including data and

information systems, public health

workforce, and effective public health

organizations that enable the

performance of the essential public

health services in every community; and

(3) evaluate the use of these data in

developing strategies to strengthen the

infrastructure of public health. This data

will allow CDC and the public health

community to improve infrastructure

quality and capacity. Examples of crosscutting infrastructure issues that may be

identified by this data include the

extent of under-funding of public

health, the need for effective local

leadership and for integrated electronic

information systems, and the emerging

role of measurable standards for local

health departments.

The main respondents to the survey

will be local health officers. The annual

burden hours are estimated to be 1,920.

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).
