Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 168 / Tuesday, August 30, 2016 / Notices
Background and Brief Description
CDC’s mission is to protect America
from health, safety, and security threats,
both foreign and in the U.S. To ensure
a competent, sustainable, and
empowered public health workforce
prepared to meet these challenges, CDC
plays a key role in developing,
implementing, and managing a number
of fellowship programs. A fellowship is
defined as a training or work experience
lasting at least 1 month and consisting
of primarily experiential (i.e., on-thejob) learning, in which the trainee has
a designated mentor or supervisor. CDC
fellowships are intended to develop
public health professionals, enhance the
public health workforce, and strengthen
collaborations with partners in public
health and healthcare organizations,
academia, and other stakeholders in
governmental and non-governmental
organizations. Assessing fellowship
activities is essential to ensure that the
public health workforce is equipped to
promote and protect the public’s health.
CDC requests a 3-year approval of a
generic clearance to collect data about
its fellowship programs, as they relate to
public health workforce development.
Data collections will allow for ongoing,
collaborative, and actionable
communications between CDC
fellowship programs and stakeholders
(e.g., fellows, supervisors/mentors,
alumni). These collections might
include short surveys, interviews, and
focus groups. Intended use of the
resulting information is to
• inform planning, implementation,
and continuous quality improvement of
fellowship activities and services;
• improve efficiencies in the delivery
of fellowship activities and services;
and
• determine to what extent fellowship
activities and services are achieving
established goals.
Collection and use of information
about CDC fellowship activities will
help ensure effective, efficient, and
satisfying experiences among fellowship
program participants and stakeholders.
CDC estimates that annually, a given
fellowship program will conduct one
query each with one of the three
respondent groups: Fellowship
applicants or fellows; mentors,
supervisors, or employers; and alumni.
The total annualized burden hours of
2,957 was determined as depicted in the
following table. There are no costs to
Respondents other than their time.

Reduction Act Review
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) has submitted the
following information collection request
to the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for review and approval in
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995. The notice for
the proposed information collection is
published to obtain comments from the
public and affected agencies.
Written comments and suggestions
from the public and affected agencies
concerning the proposed collection of
information are encouraged. Your
comments should address any of the
following: (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.

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 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. A
‘‘Generic’’ clearance will provide the
flexibility to conduct multiple surveys
on the same topic (TBDs), but regarding
different prevention methods,
objectives, or target audiences.
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. 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
measures 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
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. Specific
burden estimates for each study and
each information collection instrument
will be provided with each individual
project submission for OMB review. The
maximum estimated, annualized burden
hours are 98,830 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.
