regardless of whether microcephaly or
other conditions are diagnosed
prenatally or at birth. CDC has
published clinical guidance for care of
pregnant women with evidence of Zika
infection and care of infants born to
mothers who had Zika infection.
4. Improve Provider Capacity and
Capability
We recognize that award recipients
will have varying levels of
infrastructure, provider capacity and
capability, and other funding sources
devoted to addressing Zika. Sufficient
provider capacity and capability is
critical to ensure successful
implementation of an effective Zika
prevention initiative in increasing
access to contraceptives; reducing
barriers to diagnostic testing, screening
and counseling; and increasing access to
appropriate specialized healthcare
services.
This funding opportunity has been
structured to ensure an effective Zika
response that addresses the four critical
components of a comprehensive
response to Zika as quickly as possible.
Accordingly, the single source
emergency funding opportunity is solely
available to the territorial and state
health departments in American Samoa,
Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and
Florida, based on their ability to quickly
and efficiently expand their existing
Zika response efforts and to further
determine the most effective use and
dissemination of funds in their
respective jurisdictions. The health
departments in American Samoa, Puerto
Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, and Florida
are uniquely positioned to meet the
goals of the emergency cooperative
agreement based on their capacity,
partnerships, resources, prior
experience, and ability to begin
implementing the project immediately.
Immediate implementation is critical to
successfully addressing this rapidly
spreading public health threat.
The budget and project period under
the specific funding opportunity will be
36 months. The total amount of federal
funds available in the first round is up
to $66,100,000 as follows:
• American Samoa Government
Department of Health: $1,100,000
• Puerto Rico Health Department:
$60,600,000
• U.S. Virgin Islands Department of
Health: $2,100,000
• Florida Department of Health:
$2,300,000
A majority of the first round funds are
being allocated to Puerto Rico based on
the magnitude of infections and likely
rates of infants born to mothers with
maternal Zika infection. We expect to
issue a second round of funds through
an additional funding opportunity
announcement in 2017. The initial
funding opportunity seeks to issue
funds to currently support areas of
greatest need, while maintaining
additional funds to prevent, detect, and
respond to future Zika outbreaks.
III. Collection of Information
Requirements
This notice establishes funding
opportunities for health departments in
areas with laboratory-confirmed active
or local Zika virus transmission. Since
we estimate fewer than ten respondents
(American Samoa, Puerto Rico, the U.S.
Virgin Islands, and Florida), any
information collection requirements and
burden are exempt (5 CFR 1320.3(c))
from the requirements of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501
et seq.).

Child Support Convention; Federally
Approved Forms.
OMB No.: 0970–0488.
On January 1, 2017, the 2007 Hague
Convention on the International
Recovery of Child Support and Other
Forms of Family Maintenance will enter
into force for the United States. In order
to comply with the Convention, the U.S.
must implement the Convention’s case
processing forms.
State and Federal law require states to
use Federally-approved case processing
forms. Section 311(b) of UIFSA 2008,
which has been enacted by all 50 states,
the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto
Rico and the Virgin Islands, requires
States to use forms mandated by Federal
law. 45 CFR 303.7 also requires child
support programs to use federallyapproved forms in intergovernmental
IV–D cases unless a country has
provided alternative forms as a part of
its chapter in a Caseworker’s Guide to
Processing Cases with Foreign
Reciprocating Countries.
OCSE received few comments on the
burden estimate related to this proposed
collection during the 60-day comment
period, which started September 30,
2016 (Federal Register Volume 81,
Number 190, page 67355). Therefore, we
have not changed the burden estimate.
Concurrent with this request, OCSE
requested an emergency clearance,
pursuant to section 1320.13 of the
implementing rule of the Paperwork
Reduction Act, so that States could
begin using the forms by January 1,
2017, the effective date for the Hague
Child Support Convention in the U.S.
OMB granted emergency approval,
which will expire on May 31, 2017.
Respondents: State, local, or Tribal
agencies administering a child support
enforcement program under title IV–D
of the Social Security Act.

Title: ADP & Services Conditions for
FFP for ACF.
OMB No.: 0970–0417.
Description: State child support
agencies are required to establish and
operate a federally approved statewide
automated data processing and
information retrieval system to assist in
child support enforcement. States are
required to submit an initial advance
automated data processing planning
document (APD) containing information
to assist the Secretary of the Department
of Health and Human Services in
determining if the state computerized
support enforcement system meets
federal requirements and providing
federal approval. States are also
required to submit annually an updated
APD for oversight purposes. Based on
assessment of the information provided
in the initial or updated APDs, states
that do not meet federal requirement
approval will need to complete an
independent verification and validation.
The Advance Planning Document
(APD) process, established in the rules
at 45 CFR part 95, Subpart F, is the
procedure by which States request and
obtain approval for Federal financial
participation in their cost of acquiring
Automatic Data Processing (ADP)
equipment and services. State agencies
that submit APD requests provide the
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) with the following
information necessary to determine the
States’ needs to acquire the requested
ADP equipment and/or services:
Respondents: States.
