SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA)
(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal agencies
must obtain approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for each
collection of information they conduct
or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also
requires Federal agencies to provide a
60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each new
proposed collection, each proposed
extension of existing collection of
information, and each reinstatement of
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

Proposed Project
Generic Clearance for Lyme and other
Tickborne Diseases Knowledge,
Attitudes, and Practices Surveys—
New—National Center for Emerging and
Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (NCEZID),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) Division of VectorBorne Diseases (DVBD) and other
programs working on tickborne diseases
(TBDs) is requesting a three year
approval for a generic clearance to
conduct TBD prevention studies to
include include knowledge, attitudes,
and practices (KAP) surveys regarding
ticks and tickborne diseases (TBDs)
among residents and businesses offering
pest control services in Lyme disease
endemic areas of the United States. The
data collection for which approval is
sought will allow DVBD to use survey
results to inform implementation of
future TBD prevention interventions.
TBDs are a substantial and growing
public health problem in the United
States. From 2009–2014, over 200,000
cases of TBDs were reported to CDC,
including cases of anaplasmosis,
babesiosis, ehrlichiosis, Lyme disease,
Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and
tularemia (CDC, 2010, 2013). Lyme
disease leads in number of cases with
over 33,000 confirmed and probable
cases reported in 2014. In addition,
several novel tickborne pathogens have
recently been found to cause human
disease in the United States.
Factors driving the emergence of
TBDs are not well defined and current
prevention methods have been
insufficient to curb the increase in
cases. Data is lacking on how often
certain prevention measures are used by
individuals at risk as well as what the
barriers to using certain prevention
measure are.
The primary target population for
these data collections are individuals
and their household members who are
at risk for TBDs associated with I.
scapularis ticks and who may be
exposed to these ticks residentially,
recreationally, and/or occupationally.
The secondary target population
includes owners and employees of

businesses offering pest control services
to residents in areas where I. scapularis
ticks transmit diseases to humans.
Specifically, these target populations
include those residing or working in the
14 highest incidence states for Lyme
disease (CT, DE, ME, MD, MA, MN, NH,
NJ, NY, PA, RI, VT, VA, WI). We
anticipate conducting one to two
surveys per year, for a maximum of six
surveys conducted over a three year
period. Depending on the survey, we
aim to enroll 500–10,000 participants
per study. It is expected that we will
instrument will be provided with each
individual project submission for OMB
review. The maximum estimated,
annualized burden hours are 98,833
hours. There is no cost to respondents
other than their time.
Insights gained from KAP surveys will
aid in prioritizing which prevention
methods should be evaluated in future
randomized, controlled trials and
ultimately help target promotion of
proven prevention methods that could
yield substantial reductions in TBD
incidence.
need to target recruitment to about twice
as many people as we intend to enroll.
Surveys may be conducted daily,
weekly, monthly, or bi-monthly per
participant for a defined period of time
(whether by phone or web survey),
depending on the survey or study. The
surveys will range in duration from
approximately 5–30 minutes. Each
participant may be surveyed 1–64 times
in one year; this variance is due to
differences in the type of information
collected for a given survey.

Background and Brief Description
The National Institute for

national concern for better
understanding of the particular personal
protective equipment (PPE) needs of
healthcare workers to ensure the health
and safety of this workforce during
times of pandemic disease or
bioterrorist threat. The use and
effectiveness of the proper PPE are
paramount to the management and
mitigation of the effects of a disaster.
NIOSH is requesting a three approval
