During the early stages of its development, NHSN began as a voluntary surveillance system in 2005 managed by DHQP. NHSN provides facilities, health departments, states, regions, and the nation with data necessary to identify problem areas, measure the progress of prevention efforts, and ultimately eliminate healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) nationwide. NHSN also allows healthcare facilities to track blood safety errors and various HAI prevention practice methods such as healthcare personnel influenza vaccine status and corresponding infection control adherence rates. Three diseases (Influenza A (H5), Marburg, and Oropouche) were added to the “Pathogens of High Consequence” form through an Emergency Information Collection Request (ICR) in December 2024. This ICR originally expired 12/31/2027, but when the new data elements were added through the emergency submission, the new expiration date became 5/31/2025. This revision is to request three-year approval for the changes made to the “Pathogens of High Consequence” form in addition to the remaining 84 forms in this package. The total burden is estimated to be 4,509,135 hours annually. <GPOTABLE COLS="4" OPTS="L2,nj,i1" CDEF="s100,12,13,14"> <TTITLE>Estimated Annualized Burden Hours</TTITLE> <CHED H="1">Form No. &
