Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 199 / Friday, October 14, 2016 / Notices
IV.A.1.f prohibits CentraCare from
soliciting the employment of any
physician that has departed CentraCare
pursuant to the Consent Orders for a
period of two years.
Paragraph V requires CentraCare to
give advanced notification for future
acquisitions or employment contracts
involving certain adult primary care,
pediatrics, and OB/GYN services in the
St. Cloud area for a period of three
years.
Paragraph VI requires CentraCare
during the First Release Period to
facilitate and not interfere with the
search for alternate St. Cloud area
employment by former SCMG
employees, such as APPs and nurses.
Paragraph VI also prohibits CentraCare
from attempting to re-hire those
employees for a period of two years.
Paragraph VII specifies the rules
governing the work of the monitor.
The remaining order provisions are
standard reporting requirements to
allow the Commission to monitor ongoing compliance with the provisions of
the Decision and Order.
In addition to the Decision and Order,
the Consent Agreement includes an
Order to Suspend Enforcement of
CentraCare’s Non-Competes and
Maintain Assets that goes into effect
immediately. The purposes of this Order
are (1) to permit former SCMG
physicians to explore alternative
employment opportunities in the St.
Cloud area; and (2) to maintain those
assets and personnel from the SMCG to
make the transition to a different
practice as easy as possible.
By direction of the Commission.
Donald S. Clark
Secretary.
rmajette on DSK2TPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
I have reason to believe that
CentraCare Health System’s
(CentraCare) acquisition of St. Cloud
Medical Group, P.A. (SCMG), if
consummated, would violate Section 7
of the Clayton Act, as amended, 15
U.S.C. 18, by substantially lessening
competition for the provision of adult
primary care, pediatric, and OB/GYN
services in St. Cloud, Minnesota. I also
believe the Consent Agreement, subject
to final approval, represents the
outcome most likely to minimize
competitive harm and care disruption to
the residents of the St. Cloud area. I
write separately because, although it is
a close determination, I do not believe
SCMG meets the stringent failing firm

criteria set forth in the Horizontal
Merger Guidelines and case law.1
Because of SCMG’s financial
challenges and facts unique to the
SCMG practice structure and
management, physicians are leaving the
group, and compelling evidence
indicates that, absent the acquisition,
additional physicians plan to leave the
group and possibly the area. This would
diminish the competitive significance of
SCMG and create potential disruptions
to care and possible physician shortages
in the St. Cloud area. These
circumstances raise serious concerns
about the likelihood that the
Commission will be able to preserve
competition and access to care for
patients if it were to prevail in its
challenge.
Given this difficult scenario, I agree
with my colleagues that the Consent
Agreement presents the best
opportunity to keep the SCMG
physicians in the market, ensure
ongoing access to care and minimal
disruption for area patients, and permit
the expansion of local competitive
alternatives to CentraCare for the
relevant physician services.
Accordingly, I support the Consent
Agreement on the basis that it is in the
public interest.
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) has submitted the
following information collection request
to the Office of Management and Budget

Proposed Project
Survey of Surveillance Records of
Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus
from 1960 to Present—New—National
Center for Emerging and Zoonotic
Infectious Diseases (NCEZID), Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Zika virus response necessitates
the collection of county and sub-county
level records for Aedes aegypti and
Aedes albopictus, the vectors of Zika
virus. This information will be used to
update species distribution maps for the
United States and to develop a model
aimed at identifying where these vectors
can survive and reproduce. CDC is
seeking a six-month OMB clearance to
collect information.
In February, 2016, OMB issued
emergency clearance for a county-level
survey of vector surveillance records
(OMB Control No. 0920–1101,
expiration date 8/31/2016). The
previous survey aimed to describe the
current reported distribution of the Zika
virus vectors Aedes aegypti and Aedes
albopictus. The survey revealed that we
are lacking records from recent years of
both species from areas where we
expect to find Zika vectors based on

historical records and environmental
suitability. It is likely that the reason for
this is because from 2004–2015 most
vector surveillance focused on vectors
of West Nile virus (Culex spp.) rather
than Zika vectors.
As part of the Zika response, efforts to
identify Ae. aegypti and Ae. albopictus
in the continental U.S. were
substantially enhanced during 2016 and
funding will be provided to states to
continue to enhance surveillance for
these vectors. By repeating the survey,
we will have a more complete
assessment of where these vectors are
currently being reported. In the new
survey, we will also seek information on
locations of the mosquito traps at sub-
county spatial scales. Such information
will aid in (1) targeting vector control
efforts to prevent mosquito-borne Zika
virus transmission in the continental
U.S. and (2) targeting future vector
surveillance efforts.
The purpose of the mosquito
surveillance survey is to collect county
and sub-county-level records for Aedes
aegypti and Aedes albopictus, the
vectors of Zika virus. The resulting
maps and models will inform the public
and policy makers of the known
distribution of these vectors, identify
gaps in vector surveillance, and target
allocation of surveillance and
prevention resources.
Respondents will include vector
control professionals, entomologists,
and public health professionals who
will be contacted by email, primarily
through listserv(s) of professional
organizations. They will be asked for
their voluntary participation in a short
survey to assess the distribution of
Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus at
county and sub-county spatial scales in
the U.S.
This information collection request is
authorized by Section 301 of the Public
Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 241). The
total estimated annualized number of
burden hours is 125. There will be no
anticipated costs to respondents other
than time.

Background and Brief Description
Section 306 of the Public Health
Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C.), as
amended, authorizes that the Secretary
of Health and Human Services (HHS),
acting through the National Center for
Health Statistics (NCHS), shall collect
statistics on the extent and nature of
illness and disability of the population
of the United States. To improve
understanding of population health,
influences on health, and health
outcomes, NCHS compiles data about a
wide variety of health indicators.
Information can be analyzed by NCHS
and other entities to help guide public
health and health policy decisions.
The National Death Index (NDI) is a
centralized NCHS repository of
identifiable information about deaths
that have occurred in the United States
since 1979. The NDI is compiled from
records submitted annually to NCHS by
all state vital statistics offices. NCHS
maintains the NDI to facilitate medical
epidemiology and research. Researchers
may request NDI data and services by
completing an initial NDI Application
Form and submitting records of study
subjects for computer matching against
the NDI file. Additional forms used for
NDI administration include the Repeat
Request Form and the Transmittal Form.
The standard search against the NDI
file provides the relevant states and
dates of death, and the death certificate
numbers of deceased study subjects.
Using the NDI Plus service, researchers
have the option of also receiving cause
