Short Statement: CDC is requesting a revision to a currently approved information collection. During the 2009 H1N1 pandemic influenza response, there was considerable interest in the reasons why dismissals were occurring. This revision requests the addition of a field for the reason for dismissal into the existing data collection form, and an increase of 166 burden hours due to a revised estimate of respondent burden given lessons learned during the response to the 2009 H1N1 pandemic influenza.
