The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is seeking approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for a data collection project titled "Multi-Site Clinical Assessment of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (MCAM)." This project aims to study the differences in patients with ME/CFS and improve measurement methods using data from various clinical practices in the U.S. The CDC invites public comments on the necessity, accuracy, and potential burden of this data collection until 30 days past the notice publication. Responses can be submitted electronically or in writing to the OMB's CDC Desk Officer.
Simple Explanation
The CDC wants to study a sickness called ME/CFS by collecting information from doctors in the U.S., and they are asking people to say if this is a good idea and if it causes any problems or extra work for everyone. They want folks to share their thoughts with a special office to help decide if this study is okay to do.
