Proposed Project Survey of 911 Emergency Treatment for Heart Disease and Stroke—New—National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description CDC has a responsibility to monitor and reduce death and disability due to heart disease and stroke and needs information concerning Emergency Medical Services
(EMS)practices to effectively coordinate national public health interventions. The proposed project will enhance CDC's understanding of the field practices of local emergency medical services
(EMS)provider organizations and state level administration and oversight, and provide interaction with important stakeholders for partnering and cooperation. A survey will be conducted with approximately 2,250 local EMS departments focusing on standards of emergency care, treatment protocols, administrative oversight, training, certification, and service area characteristics. The survey sample includes all local EMS provider organizations in nine states (FL, MA, KS, MT, NM, PA, OR, SC, AR). The data collected will provide important insights into the “state of the practice” of pre-hospital emergency medical services related to cardiac and stroke care specifically. The study also will cover organizational and administrative aspects of EMS at the state and sub-state district level in the same nine states, major public and private stakeholders in the conduct of EMS, technical support issues, and practices related to positive outcomes in pre-hospital cardiac and stroke emergency care. Data analysis will include a compilation of the practices in use and comparison of organizational and administrative configurations. There are no costs to respondents except their time to participate in the survey. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 563.

(NDI)2007-2009, (OMB No. 0920-0215, Expiration 11/30/2007)—Extension—National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description Section 306 of the Public Health Service
(PHS)Act (42 U.S.C. 242k), as amended, authorizes that the Secretary of Health and Human Services (DHHS), acting through NCHS, shall collect statistics on the extent and nature of illness and disability of the population of the United States. The National Death Index
(NDI)is a national data base containing identifying death record information submitted annually to NCHS by all the state vital statistics offices, beginning with deaths in 1979. Searches against the NDI file provide the states and dates of death, and the death certificate numbers of deceased study subjects. Using the NDI Plus service, researchers have the option of also receiving cause of death information for deceased subjects, thus reducing the need to request copies of death certificates from the states. The NDI Plus option currently provides the International Classification of Diseases
(ICD)codes for the underlying and multiple causes of death for the years 1979-2004. Health researchers must complete five administrative forms in order to apply for NDI services, and submit records of study subjects for computer matching against the NDI file. A three-year clearance is requested. There is no cost to respondents except for their time.
