Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
New Conditions Added to National Surveillance
The CDC is revising the National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System to collect case notification data for Chagas disease, yersiniosis (non-pestis), and injuries related to firearms, and to collect new disease-specific data elements for toxoplasmosis and congenital toxoplasmosis. This revision is part of a three-year approval request (OMB Control No. 0920-0728, Exp. 03/31/2027).
Public Release of Weekly and Annual Disease Data
CDC makes weekly tables of nationally notifiable diseases available through CDC Stacks and data.cdc.gov, and publishes annual finalized summaries on CDC WONDER, so national and local disease data are publicly accessible. You can view these data sources for weekly and annual disease trends.
Potential Re‑identification Risk from Some Surveillance Data
Although jurisdictions remove most personally identifiable information (PII) before sending data to CDC, some data elements such as date of birth, date of diagnosis, and county of residence could potentially be combined to identify individuals. CDC states private information is not disclosed unless compelled by law and that data are protected consistent with FISMA and NIST security controls.
