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

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

Background and Brief Description
The National Center for
Environmental Health (NCEH) is leading
a new three-year information collection
request (ICR) that covers two Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
information collections, one for
childhood blood lead surveillance by
NCEH and another for adult blood lead
surveillance by the National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH).
The goal of the NCEH Childhood
Blood Lead Surveillance (CBLS)
Program is to support blood lead
screening and to promote primary
prevention of exposure to lead. Also, the
CBLS Program supports secondary
prevention of adverse health effects
when lead exposures occur in children
through improved program management
and oversight in respondent
jurisdictions. The goal of the NIOSH
Adult Blood Lead Epidemiology and
Surveillance (ABLES) Program is to
build state capacity for adult blood lead
surveillance programs to measure trends
in adult blood lead levels and to prevent
lead over-exposures. Thus, blood lead
surveillance over the human lifespan is
covered under this single information
collection request (ICR), specifically for
children, less than 16 years, through
CBLS at NCEH, and for adults, 16 years
and older, through ABLES at NIOSH.
NCEH is announcing a new three-year
cooperative agreement, titled ‘‘Lead
Poisoning Prevention—Childhood Lead
Poisoning Prevention—financed
partially by Prevention and Public
Health Funds’’ (Funding Opportunity
Announcement [FOA] No. CDC–RFA–
EH17–1701–PPHF17). The first year of
this new program will run concurrently
with the final and fourth budget year for
‘‘PPHF 2014: Lead Poisoning
Prevention—Childhood Lead Poisoning
Prevention—financed solely by 2014

existing HHLPSS ICR to avoid
duplication in PRA clearance.
Over the past several decades there
have been substantial efforts in
environmental lead abatement,
improved protection from occupational
lead exposure, and a reduction in the
prevalence of population BLLs over
time. The U.S. population BLLs have
substantially decreased over the last
four decades. For example, the CDC has
reported the 1976–1980 U.S. BLL mean
in children, 6 months to 5 years, as 16.0
micrograms per deciliter (mg/dL); and
among adults, 18 to 74 years, 14.1 mg/
dL. More recently, the CDC reported the
2009–2010 U.S. BLL geometric means
among children, 1 to 5 years, and among
adults, 20 years and older, as 1.2 mg/dL
for both age groups.
In 2012, the National Toxicology
Program (NTP) concluded that there is
sufficient evidence that BLLs at less
than 10 mg/dL and at less than 5 mg/dL
are associated with adverse health
effects in both children, less than 18
years, and in adults, 18 years and older.
Despite the reduction in the overall
population BLL over four decades, lead
exposures continue to occur at
unacceptable levels for individuals in
communities and workplaces across the
nation. Surveillance will continue
through CBLS and ABLES to identify
cases of elevated BLLs when primary
prevention is not achieved. As of 2015,
NCEH and NIOSH define elevated BLLs
as greater than or equal to 5 mg/dL for
individuals of all ages.
Respondents are defined as state,
local, and territorial health departments
with lead poisoning prevention
programs. The estimated annual time
burden for NCEH CBLS is 800 hours.
The estimated annual time burden for
NIOSH ABLES is 320 hours. In total,
CDC is requesting approval for a total
annual time burden of 1,120 hours.

Prevention and Public Health Funds’’
(FOA No. CDC–RFA–EH14–
1408PPHF14). The four-year FY14
cooperative agreement program has an
existing Paperwork Reduction Act
(PRA) clearance titled ‘‘Healthy Homes
and Lead Poisoning Surveillance
System (HHLPSS)’’ (OMB Control No.
0920–0931; expiration date 05/31/2018),
which will be extended through the end
of the FY14 program and then
discontinued.
In addition to the overlap in program
periods, there are sufficient program
differences to justify a new ICR for the
FY17 NCEH cooperative agreement. For
FY17, NCEH is requesting approval for
the following: (1) Clarifying partners’
procedures for data delivery into the
Childhood Blood Lead Surveillance
(CBLS) system; (2) revising the CBLS
Variables form to remove healthy homes
variables, which will not be collected,
and adding three new CBLS indicator
variables. Based on available FY17
funds, NCEH is also requesting the
following: (3) Increasing the number of
potential NCEH respondents from 40 to
50; and (4) increasing the NCEH annual
time burden from 640 to 800 hours.
CDC is also taking this opportunity to
provide the public with a detailed
description of the NIOSH ABLES
information collection. Previously,
ABLES was mentioned but not
described in the HHLPSS ICR (OMB
Control No. 0920–0931; expiration date
05/31/2018). Thus, NIOSH is requesting
approval for the following: (1) Providing
a detailed description of the authority
and scope of the ABLES information
reporting procedures; (2) adding 40
NIOSH respondents to the burden table;
and (3) adding 320 hours for the NIOSH
annual time burden. Once approved in
this new ICR, CDC will submit a change
request to remove ABLES from the

Proposed Project
Survey of Surveillance Records of
Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus
from 1960 to Present—Revision—(OMB
Control number 0920–1146, expires 11/
30/2019) National Center for Emerging
and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases
(NCEZID), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
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
to revise the information collection
approved under OMB Control number
0920–1146 to collect information for
three years.
In February 2016, OMB received
emergency clearance for a county-level
survey of vector surveillance records for
a limited number of years (2006–2015)
(OMB Control No. 0920–1101,
expiration date 8/31/2016). OMB then
issued clearance for a follow-up
information collection that was very
similar to the first (OMB Control No.
0920–1146, expiration date 11/30/2019)
but expanded the years that were
evaluated. The information collection in
this information collection request will
be very similar of those surveys, but will
collect these data monthly going
forward.
The previous two surveys aimed to
describe the reported distribution of the
Zika virus vectors Aedes aegypti and
Ae. albopictus from 1960 until late 2016
at county and sub-county spatial scales.
The 56-year data review was necessary
because many recent records for these
species of mosquitos were lacking,
likely because from 2004–2015 most
vector surveillance focused on vectors
of West Nile virus (Culex spp.) rather
than Zika vectors. The surveys yielded
important data allowing CDC, states,
and partners to understand the spread of
these mosquitos in the U.S as well as
the environmental conditions necessary
for them to survive. The surveys
reviewed data records from 1960–2016
and resulted in a complete assessment
of historical records of mosquito
surveillance but were not designed to
collect these types of data routinely over
time.
In this revision, CDC will also seek
information on locations of the
mosquito traps at sub-county spatial
