agencies the opportunity to comment on
a proposed and/or continuing
information collection, as required by
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA)
(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal agencies
must obtain approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for each
collection of information they conduct
or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also
requires Federal agencies to provide a
60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each new

proposed collection, each proposed
extension of existing collection of
information, and each reinstatement of
previously approved information
collection before submitting the
collection to the OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are
publishing this notice of a proposed
data collection as described below.
The OMB is particularly interested in
comments that will help:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
4. Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.
5. Assess information collection costs.
Proposed Project
Enhanced Surveillance for
Histoplasmosis—New—National Center
for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious
Diseases, Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description
Histoplasmosis is an infectious
disease caused by inhalation of the
environmental fungus Histoplasma
capsulatum. Histoplasmosis can range
from asymptomatic or mild illness to
severe disseminated disease, and it is
often described as the most common
endemic mycosis in North America.
However, much still remains unknown
about the epidemiology and patient
burden of histoplasmosis in the United
States. Histoplasmosis is currently
reportable in 11 states but is not
nationally notifiable. In June 2016, the
Council of State and Territorial
Epidemiologists (CSTE) passed a
position statement to standardize the
case definition for histoplasmosis, a first
step towards more consistent
surveillance methodology. A recent
multistate analysis of histoplasmosis
cases reported to public health during
2011–2014 also revealed variation in the
data elements collected by each state,
limiting inter-state comparability. In
addition, data on possible exposures,
underlying medical conditions,
symptoms, and antifungal treatment was
only collected in a few states.
Furthermore, no multistate data exists
about histoplasmosis cases identified
using the newly-created CSTE case
definition.
More detailed data about
histoplasmosis cases detected during
routine surveillance are needed to better
understand the features of persons at
risk, characterize the effects of
histoplasmosis on patients (e.g., delays
in diagnosis, symptom duration, and

decreased productivity), understand
patient awareness of histoplasmosis,
and determine its true public health
burden. This information will not only
help inform routine surveillance
practices, but also guide awareness
efforts and appropriate prevention
strategies.
For a period of one year, health
department personnel in participating
states will conduct telephone interviews
with reported histoplasmosis cases that
meet the CSTE case definition and will
record responses on a standardized
form. The form will collect information
on demographics, underlying medical
conditions, exposures, symptom type
and duration, healthcare-seeking
behaviors, diagnosis, treatment, and
outcomes.
This interview activity is consistent
with the state’s existing authority to
investigate reports of notifiable diseases
for routine surveillance purposes;
therefore, formal consent to participate
in the surveillance is not required.
However, cases may choose not to
participate and may choose not to
answer any question they do not wish
to answer.
It will take health department
personnel approximately 15 minutes to
administer the questionnaire to 300
patient respondents and 15 minutes for
health department personnel to retrieve
and record diagnostic information from
their state reportable disease database.
This results in an estimated annual
burden to the public of 150 hours.
