blood biweekly at the clinic or hospital
until there are 2 consecutive negative
blood tests for ZIKV. Fetal tissue will be
collected for pregnancy losses to assess
fetal ZIKV infection. All pregnancy
outcomes and any additional testing
during pregnancy or in the immediate
neonatal period as part of clinical care
will be abstracted from medical records.
Male partners will be recruited via
their pregnant partners around the time
of their pregnant partners’ enrollment
into the study. At enrollment, men will
complete a baseline questionnaire and
ZIKV symptom questionnaire and
provide a blood sample. Urine samples
in men will be collected at home every
2 weeks through the second trimester of
pregnancy to monitor for incident ZIKV
3 days after delivery. Urine samples and
information on infant’s symptoms will
be collected every 2 weeks at home
visits to monitor for ZIKV infection in
infancy. Additionally, any infant health
conditions or results from medical
testing during this 6-month period
conducted as part of routine clinical
care will be abstracted from medical
records.
INS and CDC will use the study
results to guide their recommendations
to prevent ZIKV infection; to improve
counseling of patients about risks to
themselves, their pregnancies, their
partners, and their infants; and to help
agencies prepare to provide services to
affected children and families.
infection. Men will complete a ZIKV
symptom questionnaire at the time of
each specimen collection. If a man
becomes symptomatic, he will be asked
to provide a blood sample at the clinic
for ZIKV testing. If ZIKV is detected,
semen collection at home will be
scheduled every two weeks until there
are 2 consecutive negative tests, or the
end of pregnancy. In addition, if a man’s
at-home urine sample is positive, he
will again be asked to participate in
semen collection at home every two
weeks until there are 2 consecutive
negative tests, or the end of pregnancy.
All newborns of mothers participating
in the study will be followed from birth
to 6 months of age. A blood sample will
be collected at delivery or no later than

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
information as well as staff and
equipment inventories. However,
semiannually or during emergency
response the LRN Program Office may
conduct a Special Data Call to obtain
additional information from LRN
Member Laboratories in regards to
biological or chemical terrorism
preparedness.
LRN has used the currently approved
generic information collection plan
twice during the last three years. Once
in 2014, LRN surveyed its members to
ascertain which, if any, labs would be
willing to test clinical specimens for
Ebola virus.
The information gathered led to an
emergency deployment of a new Ebola
assay for LRN members. It is critical for
the LRN to know which labs have
equipment to support an agent specific
assay during an emergency. In 2015,
LRN surveyed members via broadcast
email asking how many facilities had a
specific version of an instrument. The
information was used to help the LRN
program office determine if new
procedures should be written and made
available to members to support the
instrument in question.
Special Data calls may be conducted
via queries that are distributed by
broadcast emails or by survey tools (i.e.
Survey Monkey).
This is a request for a three year
extension to this generic clearance.
The only cost to respondents is their
time to respond to the data call.

Act.

to acts of biological, chemical, or
radiological terrorism and other public
health emergencies. Federal, state and
local public health laboratories
voluntarily join the LRN.
