Large Nationwide Reporting Time Burden

CDC requests OMB approval for the NHSN Respiratory Data collection (OMB Control No. 0920-1317, OMB expiration 2028-01-31) and estimates a total of 1,725,736 annual burden hours for respondents. The notice states there are no costs to respondents other than their time to participate.

High Manual Reporting Time for Microbiologists

The notice lists manual reporting burdens for microbiologists: e.g., Hospital Respiratory Data Form (weekly, Form 57.101) shows 1,148 microbiologist respondents with 52 responses per respondent and an average burden of 202 hours per response; Daily Hospital Respiratory Data Form (Form 57.102) shows 492 respondents with 365 responses per respondent and 58 hours average burden per response. These entries indicate large per-response time commitments for manual data entry.

Lower Burden When Using Electronic Submissions

The table shows lower average burden hours for electronic submissions: for Form 57.101 weekly reporting, .csv import lists 3,444 microbiologists with 52 responses and 29 hours average burden per response, and Information Technology/API reporting lists 1,786 respondents with 52 responses and 15 hours average burden per response. Similar reductions appear for daily forms and other modules.
