The data collected by the School
Dismissal Monitoring System are necessary to fulfill CDC's public
health mission to prevent the spread of infectious diseases and
evaluate consequences of public health emergencies in communities
in the U.S.
US Code:
42
USC 301 Name of Law: Public Health Service Act
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.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
