The CDC will accept all comments for this proposed information collection project. The Office of Management and Budget is particularly interested in comments that:
(a) 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;
(b) Evaluate the accuracy of the agencies estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
(c) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected;
(d) 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 submission of responses; and
(e) Assess information collection costs.

Proposed Project
Combating Antimicrobial Resistant Gonorrhea and Other STIs (CARGOS)-New-National Center for HIV, viral Hepatitis, STD, and Tuberculosis Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as part of its continuing effort to reduce public burden and maximize the utility of government information, invites the general public and other federal agencies the opportunity to comment on a proposed information collection, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This notice invites comment on an information collection project titled Combating Antimicrobial Resistant Gonorrhea and Other STIs (CARGOS). CARGOS is a comprehensive strategy designed to streamline and improve the coordination of Antimicrobial Resistance (AR) surveillance and preparedness and response activities focused on Neisseria gonorrhoeae (GC), and to expand capacity to include other STIs with emerging AR in the United States.
Data and isolates will be collected at participating clinics. Laboratory, clinical, and demographic data elements associated with each N. gonorrhoeae isolate will be electronically submitted to CDC. Data will be used to guide national recommendations for public health action through surveillance by supporting rapid detection of and response to threats of AR in STIs, monitoring trends in antimicrobial susceptibilities of N. gonorrhoeae strains, and identifying scalable, effective approaches to prevent the spread of AR in the United States. Changes were made to the estimated annualized burden hours, supporting documents, and data collection instruments to ensure compliance with executive orders, federal policies, and agency directives.
CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 4,749 annual burden hours. There are no costs to respondents other than their time to participate.
