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 ``Vector Surveillance and Control Assessment:
Mosquito and Tick Capacities'' 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 January 18, 2023 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 the 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.
Proposed Project
Vector Surveillance and Control Assessment: Mosquito and Tick
Capacities--New--National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious
Diseases (NCEZID), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Vector-borne diseases (VBDs) cause significant morbidity and
mortality each year in the United States. From 2004-2019, over 800,000
cases of diseases carried by ticks, mosquitoes, and fleas have been
reported from U.S. states and territories to the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC). The number of reported cases has been
increasing annually with two major trends: a steady increase in tick-
borne diseases and increasing intermittent outbreaks of mosquito-borne
arboviruses. CDC expects that the number of vector-borne disease cases
in the U.S. will likely increase and that the pathogens have the
potential to spread locally, particularly if vector control measures
are not taken.
[[Page 32226]]
The purpose of this collection is to assess the current
capabilities of local vector control organizations to respond to VBDs
in their jurisdictions. Specifically, the data collection will: (1)
assess existing vector surveillance capabilities at the local level;
(2) obtain information on current mosquito abatement and pesticide
licensing practices; (3) identify the current technical assistance
needs of local vector control organizations; and (4) gather information
on current tick programming. CDC and its implementing partner, the
National Association of City and County Health Officials, will use the
resulting data to inform and support future vector control activities
and initiatives at the local level.
CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 167 total annualized
burden hours. There is no cost to respondents other than their time to
participate.
