Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has submitted the information
collection request titled ``Assessing the Capacity of Vector Management
Programs in the United States to Provide Comprehensive Community-level
Tick Management Services'' to the Office of Management and budget (OMB)
for review and approval. CDC previously published a ``Proposed Data
Collection Submitted for Public Comment and Recommendations'' notice on
May 13, 2022 to obtain comments from the public and affected agencies.
CDC did not receive comments related to the previous notice. This
notice serves to allow an additional 30 days for public and affected
agency comments.
CDC will accept all comments for this proposed information
collection project. The Office of Management and Budget is particularly
interested in comments that:
(a) 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;
(b) Evaluate the accuracy of the agencies estimate of the burden of
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
(c) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected;
(d) 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 submission of responses; and
(e) Assess information collection costs.
To request additional information on the proposed project or to
obtain a copy of the information collection plan and instruments, call
(404) 639-7570. Comments and recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of
this notice to <a href="http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain">www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain</a>. Find this particular
information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--
Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function. Direct
written comments and/or suggestions regarding the items contained in
this notice to: Attention: CDC Desk Officer, Office of Management and
Budget, 725 17th Street NW, Washington, DC 20503 or by fax to (202)
395-5806. Provide written comments within 30 days of notice
publication.

Background and Brief Description
Previous surveys have focused on private pest management firms or
agencies in a single state. The overall capacity for publicly-funded
comprehensive tick management in the regions of interest remains poorly
understood, especially in high incidence areas. Data collected by
engaging vector management program staff will inform the development of
sustainable and effective community-level tick management programs by
assessing the feasibility of program components, the resources
necessary to add new functions to existing vector management programs,
and the expected costs associated with delivering comprehensive tick
management services. This survey will identify robust vector management
programs with which CDC can partner to refine guidance for the
development of comprehensive community-level tick management programs,
which can be adapted to specific regional ecologies and communities.
Ultimately, this survey is an important first step toward developing a
community of practice for publicly-funded, comprehensive tick
management programs in the U.S. The survey will lay the groundwork for
efforts to establish local entities capable of first evaluating the
efficacy of tick control methods, and then broadly deploying those
measures proven effective, and publicly-acceptable in order to: (a)
reduce the number of infected ticks in the environment; and (b) reduce
human bites by infected ticks.
The primary goals of this project are two-fold: (1) assess the
current tick management capacity and knowledge in vector management
programs that receive public funding in the Upper Midwest, mid-
Atlantic, Northeast, and Pacific coast states; and (2) determine the
services that vector management program staff believe should be part of
comprehensive tick management programs if they are developed in the
future. We also hope to identify barriers to the development of
comprehensive tick management programs and ways CDC can begin to
address gaps.
CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 63 annual burden hours.
There are no costs to respondent other than the time needed to
participate.
