Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) 

has submitted the information 

collection request titled ‘‘National 

Outbreak Reporting System (NORS)’’ to 

the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) for review and approval. CDC 

previously published a ‘‘Proposed Data

Comment and Recommendations’’ 

notice on October 13, 2021, to obtain

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.

Proposed Project 

National Outbreak Reporting System 

(OMB Control No. 0920–1304, Exp. 09/ 

30/2023)—Revision—National Center 

for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious 

Diseases (NCEZID), Centers for Disease 

Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

The National Outbreak Reporting 

System (NORS) is a web-based platform 

that is used by local, state, and 

territorial health departments in the 

United States to report all waterborne 

and foodborne disease outbreaks and 

enteric disease outbreaks transmitted by 

contact with environmental sources, 

infected persons or animals, or 

unknown modes of transmission to the 

Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention. CDC analyzes outbreak data 

to determine trends and develop and 

refine recommendations for prevention 

and control of foodborne, waterborne, 

and enteric disease outbreaks. 

CDC requests OMB approval to 

combine the two previously approved 

forms (Form 52.12 Waterborne Disease 

Transmission and Form 52.13 

Foodborne, Person to Person Disease 

Transmission, Animal Contact, 

Environmental Contamination, 

Unknown Transmission mode) 

previously approved under OMB 

Control No. 0920–1304 into one form 

(Form 52.14). This change will 

streamline the data elements that are 

collected, by resulting in the utilization 

of one form for all reportable modes of 

transmission and eliminating 

overlapping data collection fields. 

The total annualized burden is 

estimated to be 1160 hours. There are no 

costs to respondents other than their 

time.
