Proposed Project
Community-based tick control for the
prevention of Rocky Mountain spotted
fever in Hermosillo, Mexico—New—
National Center for Emerging and
Zoonotic Diseases (NCEZID), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) Rickettsial Zoonoses
Branch (RZB) requests approval of a
public health intervention assessment
tool to demonstrate the efficacy and
impact of public health research related
to the prevention of Rocky Mountain
spotted fever [RMSF] in Hermosillo,
Mexico. These activities include
monitoring cases, conducting tick
control interventions, and performing
participant surveys to assess the
knowledge, attitudes, and practices
relating to tick control and prevention.
The information collection for which
approval is sought is in accordance with
RZB’s mission to reduce morbidity and
mortality of rickettsial diseases and
decrease the burden of disease through
control and prevention methods.
Authorizing Legislation comes from
Section 301 of the Public Health Service
Act (42 U.S.C. 241).
Approval of this data collection tool
will allow RZB to collect information
related to risk of RMSF to improve and
inform prevention activities. Successful
execution of RZB’s public health
mission requires the use of data
collection activities in collaboration
with multiple local and international
partners. RZB proposes the use of pre/
posttests to evaluate the changes in
knowledge, attitudes, and practices
relating to tick control as well as
perceived impact of the intervention
project. The project will collect basic

household information to document
consent to participate. Data collection
will be conducted in-person. Data will
be recorded on paper forms and then
entered into an electronic database.
RZB estimates involvement of 1,300
respondents and a maximum of 701
hours of burden for research activities
each year. The collected information
will not impose a cost burden on the
respondents beyond that associated
with their time to provide the required
data.

reinstatement of an existing collection
of information, before submitting the
collection to OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, CMS is
publishing this notice that summarizes
the following proposed collection(s) of
information for public comment:
1. Type of Information Collection
Request: Revision of a currently
approved information collection; Title
of Information Collection: Evaluation of
the Graduate Nurse Education
Demonstration Program; Use: The
Graduate Nurse Education (GNE)
Demonstration is mandated under
Section 5509 of the Affordable Care Act
(ACA) under title XVIII of the Social
Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1395 et seq.).
According to Section 5509 of the ACA,
the five selected demonstration sites
receive ‘‘payment for the hospital’s
reasonable costs for the provision of
qualified clinical training to advance
practice registered nurses.’’ Section
5509 of the ACA also states that an
evaluation of the graduate nurse
education demonstration must be
completed no later than October 17,
2017. This evaluation includes analysis
of the following: (1) growth in the
number of advanced practice registered
nurses (APRNs) with respect to a
specific base year as a result of the
demonstration; (2) growth for each of
the following specialties: clinical nurse
specialist, nurse practitioner, certified
nurse anesthetist, certified nursemidwife; and (3) costs to the Medicare
program as result of the demonstration.
All information collected through the
Evaluation of the GNE project will be
used to meet the requirements specified
under the ACA Section 5509. We will
also use the information to determine
the overall effectiveness of the GNE
project. The process evaluation seeks to
understand how the demonstration is
implemented overall, how that
implementation has changed over time,
which aspects of the demonstration
have been successful or unsuccessful,
