Abstract: The purpose of this data collection is to collect disease specific surveillance reports of rare, uncommon, or infrequent diseases. The data will be used to determine the prevalence of diseases dangerous to public health. The data will also be used for planning and evaluating effective programs for prevention and control of infectious diseases. Disease incidence is needed to study present and emerging disease problems. Case data will be transmitted to CDC electronically or hard copy from State and Local Health Departments. This Revision includes reduction of burden hours due to fewer respondents expected. Updates to the format for collecting race and ethnicity have been made to the acute flaccid myelitis data collection form and will be implemented once the package is approved. We seek to use the modified version of “Race and Ethnicity Question with Minimum Categories Only”.
