Proposed Project 

The National Electronic Disease 

Surveillance System (NEDSS) (OMB 

Number 0920–0728 exp. 2/28/2011)— 

Extension—National Center for Public 

Health Informatics (NCPHI), Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

CDC is responsible for the 

dissemination of nationally notifiable 

diseases information and for monitoring 

and reporting the impact of epidemic 

influenza on mortality, Public Health 

Services Act (42 U.S.C. 241). Since 

April 1984, CDC National Center for 

Public Health Informatics Epidemiology 

Program Office (EPO) began working 

with the Council of State and Territorial 

Epidemiologists (CSTE) to demonstrate 

the efficiency and effectiveness of 

computer transmission of surveillance 

data between CDC and the State health 

departments. 

By 1989, all 50 States were using this 

computerized disease surveillance 

system, which was then renamed the 

National Electronic 

Telecommunications System for 

Surveillance (NETSS) to reflect its 

national scope (OMB numbers 0920– 

0447 and 0920–0007). 

Beginning in 1999, CDC, 

Epidemiology Program Office (EPO) 

worked with CSTE, State and local 

public health system staff, and other 

CDC disease prevention and control 

program staff to identify information 

categories and information technology 

standards to support integrated disease 

surveillance. That effort is now focused 

on development and completion of the 

National Electronic Disease Surveillance 

System (NEDSS), coordinated by CDC’s 

National Center for Public Health 

Informatics, Division of Integrated 

Surveillance Systems and Services 

(DISSS). 

States will continue to use portions of 

NETSS to transmit data to CDC. One of 

the reasons for providing NETSS to 

NEDSS data mapping is to identify what 

data elements in NETSS correspond to 

data elements in NEDSS. Those 

elements mapped from NETSS to 

NEDSS were collected in OMB number 

0920–0007. 

NEDSS will electronically integrate 

and link together a wide variety of 

surveillance activities and will facilitate 

more accurate and timely reporting of 

disease information to CDC and State 

and local health departments. 

Consistent with recommendations 

supported by our State and local 

surveillance partners and described in 

the 1995 report, Integrating Public 

Health Information and Surveillance 

Systems, NEDSS includes data 

standards, an Internet based 

communications infrastructure built on 

industry standards, and policy-level 

agreements on data access, sharing, 

burden reduction, and protection of 

confidentiality. 

To support NEDSS, CDC has 

developed an information system, the 

NEDSS Base System (NBS), which uses 

NEDSS technical and information 

standards. The NBS is currently 

deployed to 16 States, including AL, 

AR, ID, MD, ME, MT, NE, NM, NV, RI, 

SC, TN, TX, VA, VT, and WY. 

CDC is requesting a three-year OMB 

clearance extension of collecting the 

NEDSS data. The table below outlines 

the annualized burden which consists of 

two components. The first component is 

‘‘weekly reporting’’ (52 weeks annually). 

The second component is an end of year 

report titled ‘‘annual reporting’’. The two 

components collectively represent the 

estimated annualized hours for the 

submitting jurisdictions. 

There are no costs to respondents 

other than their time. The total 

estimated annual burden hours for the 

Weekly Morbidity Reports and the 

Annual Summary Report is 9,384.

Proposed Project: 2011 National Survey 

on Drug Use and Health (OMB No. 

0930–0110)—Revision 

The National Survey on Drug Use and 

Health (NSDUH), formerly the National 

Household Survey on Drug Abuse 

(NHSDA) is a survey of the civilian, 

non-institutionalized population of the 

United States 12 years old and older. 

The survey is used to determine the 

prevalence of use of tobacco products, 

alcohol, illicit substances, and illicit use 

of prescription drugs. The survey is also 

used to collect information on mental 

health problems and the utilization of 

substance abuse and mental health 

services. The results are used by 

SAMHSA, ONDCP, Federal government 

agencies, and other organizations and 

researchers to establish policy, direct 

program activities, and better allocate 

resources. 

The 2011 NSDUH will continue 

conducting a follow-up clinical 

interview with a subsample of 

approximately 1,500 respondents. The 

design of this study is based on the 

recommendations from a panel of expert 

consultants convened by the Center for 

Mental Health Services (CMHS), 

SAMHSA, to discuss mental health 

surveillance data collection strategies. 

The goal is to create a statistically sound 

measure that may be used to estimate 

the prevalence of Serious Mental Illness 

(SMI) among adults (age 18+). 

For the 2011 NSDUH, no 

questionnaire changes are proposed. 

As with all NSDUH/NHSDA surveys 

conducted since 1999, the sample size 

of the survey for 2011 will be sufficient 

to permit prevalence estimates for each 

of the fifty states and the District of 

Columbia. 

Because the NSDUH collects data on 

substance use, mental health and the 

utilization of substance abuse and 

mental health services, it is an 

appropriate and convenient vehicle to 

measure the impact of the Deepwater 

Horizon oil spill on residents of that 

region. Therefore, SAMHSA is planning 

to expand the NSDUH by oversampling 

the geographic region impacted by the 

oil spill. The current NSDUH sample 

design will be implemented and an 

oversampling method that results in an 

additional 2,000 completed interviews 

in the gulf coast region will be 

employed. The additional interviews 

will be concentrated in the coastal 

counties of Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, 

and Mississippi. All survey instruments 

and protocols will be identical for this 

additional sample. The total number of 

respondents for the 2011 NSDUH will 

be 69,500, or 2,000 cases more than the 

planned sample size for 2010. 

Though there will be some increase in 

the sample for all four states involved in 

the Deepwater Horizon event (Alabama, 

Florida, Louisiana, and Mississippi), 

specific counties in the gulf coast region 

were chosen for focused oversampling. 

These counties were chosen based on 

the following criteria: 

• Claims activity to BP for economic 

and related health needs; 

• County involvement with 

Department of Education and 

Administration for Children and 

Families programming; and 

• State assessment of impacted 

counties based on consultation with 

SAMHSA during the preparation of aid 

applications.

National Institutes of Health 

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request; Multi-Ethnic Study 

of Atherosclerosis (MESA) Event 

Surveillance 

SUMMARY: Under the provisions of 

Section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, the National 

Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute 

(NHLBI), the National Institutes of 

Health (NIH) has submitted to the Office 

of Management and Budget (OMB) a 

request for review and approval the 

information collection listed below. 

This proposed information collection 

was previously published in the Federal 

Register on August 4, 2010, pages 

46945–6, and allowed 60-days for 

public comment. Only one comment 

was received. The purpose of this notice 

is to allow an additional 30 days for 

public comment. The National Institutes 

of Health may not conduct or sponsor, 

and the respondent is not required to 

respond to, an information collection 

that has been extended, revised, or 

implemented on or after October 1, 

1995, unless it displays a currently valid 

OMB control number. 

Proposed Collection: Title: MultiEthnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) 

Event Surveillance. Type of Information 

Request: Renewal (OMB No. 0925– 

0493). Need and Use of Information 

Collection: The study, MESA, is 

identifying and quantifying factors 

associated with the presence and 

progression of subclinical 

cardiovascular disease (CVD)—that is, 

atherosclerosis and other forms of CVD 

that have not produced signs and 

symptoms. The findings provide 

important information on subclinical 

CVD in individuals of different ethnic 

backgrounds and provide information 

for studies on new interventions to 

prevent CVD. The aspects of the study 

that concern direct participant 

evaluation received a clinical exemption 

from OMB clearance (CE–99–11–08) in 

April 2000. OMB clearance is being 

sought for the contact of physicians and 

participant proxies to obtain 

information about clinical CVD events 

that participants experience during the 

follow-up period. Frequency of 

response: Once per CVD event. Affected 

public: Individuals. Types of 

Respondents: Physicians and selected 

proxies of individuals recruited for 

MESA. The annual reporting burden is 

as follows: Estimated Number of 

Respondents: 74; Estimated Number of 

Responses per Respondent: 1.0; Average 

Burden Hours Per Response: 0.20; and 

Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours 

Requested: 14.7. The annualized cost to 

respondents is estimated at: $500. There 

are no capital, operating, or 

maintenance costs to report.
