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 effort to reduce public
burden and maximize the utility of
government information, invites the
general public and other federal
agencies the opportunity to comment on
a proposed and/or continuing
information collection, as required by
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
This notice invites comment on a
proposed information collection project
titled Generic Clearance for Lyme and
other Tickborne Diseases (TBD)
Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices
(KAP) Surveys. This data collection
involves the administration of a set of
surveys designed to understand KAPs
related to prevention of Lyme and other
TBDs and to inform implementation of
future TBD prevention interventions.
DATES: CDC must receive written
comments on or before May 17, 2022.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments,
identified by Docket No. CDC–2022–
0035 by either of the following methods:
• Federal eRulemaking Portal:
Regulations.gov. Follow the instructions
for submitting comments.
• Mail: Jeffrey M. Zirger, Information
Collection Review Office, Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention, 1600
Clifton Road NE, MS H21–8, Atlanta,
Georgia 30329.
Instructions: All submissions received
must include the agency name and
Docket Number. CDC will post, without

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 the OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are
publishing this notice of a proposed
data collection as described below.
The OMB is particularly interested in
comments that will help:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected;
4. Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses; and
5. Assess information collection costs.

Tickborne Diseases (TBD) Knowledge,

Diseases (NCEZID), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
at risk for TBDs associated with
I.scapularis ticks and who may be
exposed to these ticks residentially,
recreationally, and/or occupationally.
The secondary target population
includes stakeholders of local entities
affected by TBDs (e.g., leaders in local
public health or local government;
owners or employees of pest control
companies, landscaping companies, or
other at-risk occupations; nongovernmental organizations serving atrisk populations; and/or clinicians
serving at-risk populations) in areas
where I. scapularis ticks transmit
diseases to humans. Specifically, these
target populations include those
residing or working in the 15 highest
incidence states for Lyme disease (CT,
DE, ME, MD, MA, MN, NH, NJ, NY, PA,
RI, VT, VA, WI and WV). We anticipate
conducting one to two surveys per year,
for a maximum of six surveys conducted
over a three-year period. Depending on
the survey, we aim to enroll 500–10,000
participants per study. It is expected
that we will need to target recruitment
to about twice as many people as we
intend to enroll. Surveys may be
conducted daily, weekly, monthly, or
bi-monthly per participant for a defined
period (whether by phone or web
survey), depending on the survey or
study. The surveys will range in
duration from approximately 5–30
minutes. Each participant may be
surveyed 1–64 times in one year; this
variance is due to differences in the type
of information collected for a given
survey. Specific burden estimates for
each study and each information
collection instrument will be provided
with each individual project submission
for OMB review.
Insights gained from KAP surveys will
aid in prioritizing which prevention
methods should be evaluated in future
randomized, controlled trials and
ultimately help target promotion of
proven prevention methods that could
yield substantial reductions in TBD
incidence. CDC requests OMB approval
for an estimated 98,830 annual burden
hours. There is no cost to respondents
other than their time.
Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) Division of VectorBorne Diseases (DVBD) and other
programs working on tickborne diseases
(TBDs) are requesting a Revision to a
previously approved generic clearance
to conduct TBD prevention studies to
include knowledge, attitudes, and
practices (KAP) surveys TBDs among
residents and businesses offering pest
control services in Lyme disease
endemic areas of the United States. The
data collection for which approval is
sought will allow DVBD to use survey
results to inform implementation of
future TBD prevention interventions.
The Revision involves a broadening of
the secondary target population from
owners and employees of pest control
companies to stakeholders of local
entities affected by TBDs (e.g., leaders in
local public health or local government;
owners or employees of pest control
companies, landscaping companies, or
other at-risk occupations; nongovernmental organizations serving atrisk populations; and/or clinicians
serving at-risk populations).
TBDs are a substantial and growing
public health problem in the United
States. From 2004–2016, over 490,000
cases of TBDs were reported to CDC,
including cases of anaplasmosis,
babesiosis, ehrlichiosis, Lyme disease,
Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and
tularemia. Lyme disease accounted for
82% of all TBDs, with over 400,000
cases reported during this time period.
Recent studies estimate nearly 500,000
cases of Lyme disease are diagnosed
annually in the United States. In
addition, several novel tickborne
pathogens have recently been found to
cause human disease in the United
States. Factors driving the emergence of
TBDs are not well defined and current
prevention methods have been
insufficient to curb the increase in
cases. Data is lacking on how often
certain prevention measures are used by
individuals at risk as well as what the
barriers to using certain prevention
measure are.
The primary target population for
these data collections are individuals
and their household members who are

Draft Pharmaceutical Quality/
Chemistry Manufacturing and Controls
Data Exchange; Request for
Comments
Food and Drug Administration,
HHS.
ACTION:
Notice; request for comments.
The Food and Drug
Administration (FDA or Agency) is
requesting comment on the draft
Pharmaceutical Quality/Chemistry
Manufacturing and Controls (PQ/CMC)
Data Exchange for the electronic
submission of PQ/CMC data. This
document provides draft design of
Health Level 7 (HL7) Fast Health
Interoperability Resources (FHIR)
profiles that contain the data elements
and terminologies associated with PQ/
CMC subject areas and scoped to some
of what is currently submitted in
Module 3 of the electronic Common
Technical Document (eCTD)
submission. It is not intended to be
comprehensive in covering all eCTD
product quality information, only those
concepts that were considered amenable
to structuring and would bring value to
the quality review process. The Agency
is seeking comment on the mapping of
the PQ/CMC data elements to the
various FHIR Resources. This document
should not be viewed as guidance,
technical specification, or an
implementation guide, as it is meant
solely for comment. The FHIR mapping
presented in this document is bound to
the HL7 FHIR R5 draft release. As such,

it is likely that some parts of the
mapping presented in this document
may change based on comments during
the HL7 balloting and reconciliation
process. However, since HL7 balloting
has variable and extensive timelines, the

prudent to provide an early opportunity
for comment that will inform final
development of the exchange standard.
