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
E:\FR\FM\14OCN1.SGM
14OCN1
71100
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 199 / Friday, October 14, 2016 / Notices
of death information for deceased
subjects, thus reducing the need to
request copies of death certificates from
the states. The NDI Plus option
currently provides the International
Classification of Disease (ICD) codes for
the underlying and multiple causes of
death for the years 1979–2015.
CDC requests OMB approval to
update the three data collection forms
used by NCHS to administer NDI
services. The form updates include
editorial changes needed to capture
current modes of data transfer and
service payment options, clarifications
to the instructions for NDI applicants,
the inclusion of an item to capture any
resulting publications, and additional
terms and conditions associated with
the confidentiality agreement.
OMB approval is requested for three
years. There is no cost to respondents
except for their time. The total
estimated annual burden hours are 507,
an increase of 325 hours due to an
anticipated increase in both the number
of applicants and the average time
needed to complete the application
form.
