Abstract: This request is for permission to collect data for the current National Hospital Discharge Survey in 2010. The currently approved plan was to end in 2009, with a redesigned survey beginning in 2010. Budget constraints make it necessary to keep the current survey in the field through 2010 until the redesigned survey can be integrated in 2011. There is no change in burden.
