microcephaly and other adverse
pregnancy and infant outcomes, CDC’s
Emergency Operations Center has
continued to work at the highest level
of activation since February 8, 2016. To
date, local transmission has been
identified in at least 50 countries or
territories in the Americas; within the
United States, widespread mosquito
born transmission has been documented
in the territories of Puerto Rico and the
US Virgin Islands, and more localized
transmission has been observed in
Florida and Texas. In addition in the
continental United States, there has
been a large number of travel-related
cases with infection occurring through
mosquito born and sexual transmission.
Given the adverse pregnancy and
birth outcomes associated with Zika
virus infection during pregnancy,
increasing access to effective
contraception is a key countermeasure
for preventing unintended pregnancies
that might otherwise be affected by
Zika. In addition, even in the absence of
disease outbreaks that can lead to
negative pregnancy and birth outcomes,
access to contraception is needed to
help prevent the 45% of pregnancies in
the United States that are unintended.
Given that the proportion of pregnancies
to Zika areas and knowledge of and
adherence to travel recommendations.
The 14 jurisdictions included have had
widespread local transmission, are at
high risk for local transmission, and/or
have a disproportionately high number
of travel-related cases.
The information collected will be
provided to state and territory health
departments to provide a basis on which
to develop emergency response plans
for potential outbreaks and make
decisions regarding the distribution of
finite resources to prevent Zika virus
infection during pregnancy. Given the
potential for new outbreaks and
increases in cases in areas with Zika as
the summer travel and mosquito season
approaches, an interim data set and
report would be made available to states
no later than June, 2017. Additionally,
in the event that a jurisdiction has an
increase in Zika cases or newly reported
local transmission, interim data will be
analyzed and provided within 10
business days to aid in emergency
response planning.
Participation is voluntary and there
are no costs to respondents other than
their time.
that are unintended varies widely across
states, it is important to identify
populations with high unmet need for
contraception to implement targeted
strategies for increasing access to and
availability of effective contraception.
Additionally, it is important for women
who are at risk of becoming pregnant
unintentionally, or who are planning a
pregnancy, to be knowledgeable of
behaviors for preventing mosquito born
and sexual transmission of Zika and
recommendations for waiting to get
pregnant after they or their partner have
returned from an area with Zika.
The objective of this assessment is to
collect scientifically valid, current
information on various aspects of Zika
knowledge and prevention behaviors
from a representative sample of adult
women of reproductive age (aged 18–49
years) in 14 states/territories, including
information: (1) The use of
contraception among women wishing to
avoid or delay pregnancies that might
otherwise be affected by Zika; (2)
barriers to access and use of
contraception; (3) knowledge of and
adherence to mosquito prevention
strategies and use of condoms to
minimize the risk of sexual
transmission; and (4) frequency of travel

previously approved information
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
or start-up costs and costs of operation,
maintenance, and purchase of services
to provide information. Burden means
the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to
generate, maintain, retain, disclose or
provide information to or for a Federal
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
data sources, to complete and review
the collection of information; and to
transmit or otherwise disclose the
information.

(OSTLTS), Centers for Disease Control

Background and Brief Description
The mission of the Department of
Health and Human Services is to help
provide the building blocks that
Americans need to live healthy,
successful lives. As part of HHS, CDC’s
mission is to create the expertise,
information, and tools that people and
PO 00000
Frm 00023

communities need to protect their
health—through health promotion,
prevention of disease, injury and
disability, and preparedness for new
health threats. CDC and HHS seek to
accomplish its mission by collaborating
with partners throughout the nation and
the world to: Monitor health, detect and
investigate health problems, conduct
research to enhance prevention, develop
and advocate sound public health
policies, implement prevention
strategies, promote healthy behaviors,
foster safe and healthful environments,
and provide leadership and training.
CDC is requesting a three-year
approval for a generic clearance to
collect information related to domestic
public health issues and services that
affect and/or involve state, tribal, local
and territorial (STLT) government
entities.
The respondent universe is comprised
of STLT governmental staff or delegates
acting on behalf of a STLT agency
involved in the provision of essential
public health services in the United
States. Delegate is defined as a
governmental or non-governmental
agent (agency, function, office or
individual) acting for a principal or
submitted by another to represent or act
on their behalf. The STLT agency is
represented by a STLT entity or delegate
with a task to protect and/or improve
the public’s health.
Information will be used to assess
situational awareness of current public
health emergencies; make decisions that
affect planning, response and recovery
activities of subsequent emergencies; fill
CDC and HHS gaps in knowledge of
programs and/or STLT governments that
will strengthen surveillance,
epidemiology, and laboratory science;
improve CDC’s support and technical
assistance to states and communities.
CDC and HHS will conduct brief data
collections, across a range of public
health topics related to essential public
health services.
CDC estimates up to 30 data
collections with STLT governmental
staff or delegates, and 10 data
collections with local/county/city
governmental staff or delegates will be
conducted on an annual basis. Ninetyfive percent of these data collections
will be web-based and five percent
telephone, in-person, and focus groups.
The total annualized burden of 54,000
hours is based on the following
estimates.

Notice with comment period.
The Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC), as part of
its continuing efforts to reduce public
burden and maximize the utility of
government information, invites the
general public and other Federal
agencies to take this opportunity to
comment on proposed and/or
continuing information collections, as

comment on a proposed revision to the
information collection project titled
‘‘Information Collection on CauseSpecific Absenteeism in Schools.’’
Changes include a revised title. The
proposed title is ‘‘Information
Collection on Cause-Specific
Absenteeism in Schools and Evaluation
of Influenza Transmission within
Student Households.’’ The project will
continue to address the original aim of
improving our understanding of the role
of influenza-like illness (ILI)—specific
absenteeism in schools in predicting
community-wide influenza
transmission.
