SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA)
(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal agencies
must obtain approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for each
collection of information they conduct
or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also
requires Federal agencies to provide a
60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each new
proposed collection, each proposed
extension of existing collection of
information, and each reinstatement of
previously approved information
collection before submitting the
collection to OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are
publishing this notice of a proposed
data collection as described below.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology; and (e) estimates of capital
or start-up costs and costs of operation,
maintenance, and purchase of services
to provide information. Burden means
the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to
generate, maintain, retain, disclose or
provide information to or for a Federal
agency. This includes the time needed
to review instructions; to develop,
acquire, install and utilize technology
and systems for the purpose of
collecting, validating and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; to train

been ascertained. The Council of State
and Territorial Epidemiologists
approved a position statement in 2012
that recommends increased focus on B.
canis, and urges CDC to support the
development of a human diagnostic
assay.
The purpose of this information
collection request is to estimate the
burden of canine brucellosis in the
United States, which will aid in the
determination of the level of public
health importance of human B. canis
infections, and the potential for
transmission of brucellosis from dogs.
An estimate of disease burden in dogs
will provide an idea of potential
transmission between dogs and humans,
and determine the need for future
human public health studies, which is
critical during this time of scarce
resources.
Veterinary diagnostic laboratories
throughout the United States will be
solicited to provide information on the
quantity of test requests and positive
results for Brucella spp. in canines,
outsourcing of clinical testing, statewide policies for reporting of positive
results, and policies for human
exposure to clinical specimens or
isolates.
The laboratories were identified
through multiple sources: A review of
the Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service-approved Brucella diagnostic
laboratories, the National Animal Health
Laboratory Network laboratories, the
American Association of Veterinary
Laboratory Diagnosticians (AAVLD),
and an Internet search.
The outcomes of this information
collection are to assess the burden of
disease in the animal host (dogs, in this
case), as well as evaluate the knowledge
and practices of occupational exposures
to the organism. The information
collected will be used to guide a longer
term strategy for identification of human
cases, understanding risk factors and
activities associated with zoonotic
transmission, and eventually validation
of a human diagnostic assay. These
strategies will be implemented using
other mechanisms.
The total annual burden is 129 hours.

personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information, to search
data sources, to complete and review
the collection of information; and to
transmit or otherwise disclose the
information.
Proposed Project
CDC Burden of Canine Brucellosis
Information Collection—New—National
Center for Emerging and Zoonotic
Infectious Diseases, Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Canine brucellosis is a bacterial
infection caused by the organism
Brucella canis. Few seroprevalence
studies have been done to estimate the
prevalence of canine brucellosis, most
of which were conducted over 25 years
ago. Two recent reports from Oklahoma
and Wisconsin describe increasing
prevalence in dogs; however, the
national burden is not known. B. canis
is also pathogenic to humans, although
human infections are thought to be rare
in the United States.
Unlike Brucella abortus, B. melitensis,
and B. suis, B. canis is not classified as
a select agent. As a result, laboratory
identification of the organism in
humans does not require reporting to
the Laboratory Response Network.
Brucella species-specific data are not
collected in the Nationally Notifiable
Disease Surveillance System at CDC,
and there are no validated Brucella
canis serological tests to diagnose
disease in humans. For these reasons,
there are no national estimates of B.
canis prevalence in humans or canines.
Additionally, canine infections with
other Brucella species have been
reported in the literature. Zoonotic
transmission is a concern with all
Brucella species pathogenic to humans,
and at least one human infection with
B. suis related to canine contact has
been reported. Neither the prevalence of
canine brucellosis nor the potential risk
of zoonotic spread to humans is known.
There has been interest in human
brucellosis caused by B. canis among
the public health community. However,
the degree of public health importance
of human B. canis infections has not yet

Background: The Advisory Board was
established under the Energy Employees
Occupational Illness Compensation Program
Act of 2000 to advise the President on a
variety of policy and technical functions
required to implement and effectively
manage the new compensation program. Key
functions of the Advisory Board include
providing advice on the development of
probability of causation guidelines, which
have been promulgated by the Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS) as a final
rule; advice on methods of dose
reconstruction, which have also been
promulgated by HHS as a final rule; advice
on the scientific validity and quality of dose
estimation and reconstruction efforts being

performed for purposes of the compensation
program; and advice on petitions to add
classes of workers to the Special Exposure
Cohort (SEC).
In December 2000, the President delegated
responsibility for funding, staffing, and
operating the Advisory Board to HHS, which
subsequently delegated this authority to the
CDC. NIOSH implements this responsibility
for CDC. The charter was issued on August
3, 2001, renewed at appropriate intervals,
most recently, August 3, 2013, and will
expire on August 3, 2015.
Purpose: This Advisory Board is charged
with (a) providing advice to the Secretary,
HHS, on the development of guidelines
under Executive Order 13179; (b) providing
advice to the Secretary, HHS, on the
scientific validity and quality of dose
reconstruction efforts performed for this
program; and (c) upon request by the
Secretary, HHS, advising the Secretary on
whether there is a class of employees at any
Department of Energy facility who were
exposed to radiation but for whom it is not
feasible to estimate their radiation dose, and
on whether there is reasonable likelihood
that such radiation doses may have
endangered the health of members of this
class.
Matters for Discussion: The agenda for the
conference call includes: NIOSH evaluation
of SEC Petition for Westinghouse Electric
Corp. facility in Bloomfield, New Jersey
(January 1, 1950–March 1, 2011); Work
Group and Subcommittee Reports; SEC
Petitions Update for the July 2015 Advisory
Board Meeting; Plans for the July 2015
Advisory Board Meeting; and Advisory Board
Correspondence.
The agenda is subject to change as
priorities dictate.
