Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) publishes a
list of information collection requests under review by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) in compliance with the Paperwork Reduction
Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request a copy of these requests, call
the CDC Reports Clearance Office on (404) 639-7090. Send written
comments to CDC, Desk Officer; Human Resources and Housing Branch, New
Executive Office Building, Room 10235; Washington, DC 20503. Written
comments should be received within 30 days of this notice.
Proposed Project
1. Continuing Medical Education (CME) Activity Registration Form--
(0923-0013)--Extension--The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease
Registry (ATSDR) is mandated pursuant to the 1980 Comprehensive
Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) and its
1986 Amendments, The Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act
(SARA), to prevent or mitigate adverse human health effects and
diminished quality of life resulting from the exposure to hazardous
substances into the environment. As stated in CERCLA, the Administrator
of ATSDR is charged to ``assemble, develop as necessary, and distribute
to the states, and upon request to medical colleges, physicians, and
other health professionals, appropriate educational materials
(including short courses) on this topic''.
The development and use of activity registration forms for
documenting participation in these activities at these meetings is an
integral part of this process. This attendance documentation process is
required by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education
(ACCME), the body that authorizes agencies and institutions to award
nationally recognized continuing medical education (CME) credit. As a
condition of relicensure, physicians in 40 states are required to
participate in CME courses. Individual physicians in these states are
required to submit the number of hours of CME credit to state boards of
professional registration at the time of relicensure. Failure by the
physician to provide this information in a timely fashion will result
in suspension of professional licensure.
This request is for a 3-year extension of the current OMB approval
of uniform CME activity registration forms--one machine entry form and
the other manually entered--to serve as the initial step in the
development of an attendance documentation system. The total annual
burden hours are 83.
