Proposed Data Collection Submitted
for Public Comment and
Recommendations
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), Department of Health
and Human Services (HHS).
ACTION: Notice with comment period.
AGENCY:

The Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC), as part of
its continuing efforts to reduce public
burden and maximize the utility of
government information, invites the
general public and other Federal

comment on proposed and/or
continuing information collections, as
required by the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995. This notice invites
comment on Survey of Surveillance
Records of Aedes aegypti and Aedes
albopictus from 1960 to Present. This
project consists of the collection of
county and sub-county-level records for
Aedes aegypti and Ae. albopictus, the
vectors of Zika virus.
DATES: Written comments must be
received on or before October 11, 2016.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments,
identified by Docket No. CDC–2016–

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
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.

Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 154 / Wednesday, August 10, 2016 / Notices
Background and Brief Description
The Zika virus response necessitates
the collection of county and sub-county
level records for Aedes aegypti and Ae.
albopictus, the vectors of Zika virus.
This information will be used to update
species distribution maps for the United
States and to develop a model aimed at
identifying where these vectors can
survive and reproduce. CDC is seeking
six months of OMB clearance to collect
information.
In February, 2016, OMB issued
emergency clearance for a county-level
survey of vector surveillance records
(OMB Control No. 0920–1101,
expiration date 8/31/2016). This
information collection will be nearly a
repeat of that survey.
The previous survey aimed to
describe the current reported
distribution of the Zika virus vectors
Aedes aegypti and Ae. albopictus. The
survey revealed that we are lacking
records from recent years of both
species from areas where we expect to

find Zika vectors based on historical
records and environmental suitability. It
is likely that the reason for this is
because from 2004–2015 most vector
surveillance focused on vectors of West
Nile virus (Culex spp.) rather than Zika
vectors. As part of the Zika response,
efforts to identify Ae. aegypti and Ae.
albopictus in the continental U.S. were
substantially enhanced during 2016 and
funding will be provided to states to
continue to enhance surveillance for
these vectors. By repeating the survey,
we will have a more complete
assessment of where these vectors are
currently being reported. In the new
survey, we will also seek information on
locations of the mosquito traps at subcounty spatial scales. Such information
will aid in (1) targeting vector control
efforts to prevent mosquito-borne Zika
virus transmission in the continental
U.S. and (2) targeting future vector
surveillance efforts.
The purpose of the mosquito
surveillance survey is to collect county

and sub-county-level records for Aedes
aegypti and Ae. albopictus, the vectors
of Zika virus. The resulting maps and
models will: Inform the public and
policy makers of the known distribution
of these vectors, identify gaps in vector
surveillance, and target allocation of
surveillance and prevention resources.
Respondents will include vector
control professionals, entomologists,
and public health professionals who
will be contacted by email, primarily
through listserves of professional
organizations. They will be asked for
their voluntary participation in a short
survey to assess the distribution of
Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus at
county and sub-county spatial scales in
the U.S.
This information collection request is
authorized by Section 301 of the Public
Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 241). The
total estimated annualized number of
burden hours is 125. There will be no
anticipated costs to respondents other
than time.
