Terms of Clearance: Previous terms continue: Approval is consistent with the understanding that CDC will continue to add (and keep current) language on each program's website and in their reports that clearly caveats the interpretation of longitudinal trends due to temporal changes in methods, definitions, geographic coverage (for example, changes in the number and characteristics of participating hospitals).

Abstract: The Emerging Infections Programs (EIP) is to 1) detect and monitor emerging pathogens, the diseases they cause, and the factors influencing their emergence, and respond to problems as they are identified, 2) integrate laboratory science and epidemiology to optimize public health practice, 3) strengthen infrastructure to support surveillance and research and to implement prevention and control programs, and to 4) ensure implementation of prevention strategies and communication of public health information about emerging diseases. Surveillance efforts of the core EIP activities generate reliable estimates of the incidence of certain infections and provide the foundation for a variety of epidemiologic studies. This Revision requests the use of two additional forms and including minor revised language and rewording to improve clarity and readability of the data collection forms. Programs covered by this ICR include: Active Bacterial Core surveillance (ABCs): active population-based laboratory surveillance for invasive bacterial diseases; Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network (FoodNet): active population-based laboratory surveillance to monitor the incidence of select enteric diseases; Influenza: active population-based surveillance for laboratory confirmed influenza-related hospitalizations; and Healthcare Associated Infections-Community Interface (HAIC): active population-based surveillance for healthcare associated pathogens and infections (including Clostridium difficile infection).
