and will be expanded to include
insecticide susceptibility and resistance
data on local populations of mosquitos.
Data will be collected monthly through
the expiration date of this OMB
approval.
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 resulting maps and models
will inform the public and policy
makers of the known distribution of
these vectors, identify gaps in vector
primary recipients and instructed to set
up accounts on the MosquitoNET Web
site via a simple process. Data collection
from ELC recipients will then begin. In
order to limit the burden of data entry
on respondents who may be entering
information for their state, they will
have the option of submitting the data
via email to CDC using an excel survey.
This information collection request is
authorized by Section 301 of the Public
Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 241). The
total estimated annualized burden time
is 192 hours. There will be no
anticipated costs to respondents other
than time.

surveillance and prevention resources.
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 through the longstanding
Epidemiology and Laboratory Capacity
Program that was expanded to now
include mosquito surveillance.
Respondents will include vector
control professionals, entomologists,
and public health professionals who are

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.

Hypothesis Generating Questionnaire

(CNHGQ) during Investigations of
Foodborne Disease Clusters and
Outbreaks—New—Center for Global
Health (CGH), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
An estimated 1 in six Americans per
year become ill with a foodborne
disease. Foodborne outbreaks of
cyclosporiasis—caused by the parasite
Cyclospora cayetanensis—have been
reported in the United States since the
mid-1990s and have been linked to
various types of fresh produce. During
the 15-year period of 2000–2014, 31
U.S. foodborne outbreaks of
cyclosporiasis were reported; the total
case count was 1,562. It is likely that
more cases (and outbreaks) occurred
than were reported; in addition, because
of insufficient data, many of the
reported cases could not be directly
linked to an outbreak or to a particular
food vehicle.
Collecting the requisite data for the
initial hypothesis-generating phase of
investigations of multistate foodborne
disease outbreaks is associated with
multiple challenges, including the need
to have high-quality hypothesisgenerating questionnaire(s) that can be
used effectively in multijurisdictional
investigations. Such a questionnaire was
developed in the past for use in the
context of foodborne outbreaks caused
by bacterial pathogens; that
E:\FR\FM\06APN1.SGM
06APN1
16843
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 65 / Thursday, April 6, 2017 / Notices
questionnaire is referred to as the
Standardized National Hypothesis
Generating Questionnaire (SNHGQ).
However, not all of the data elements in
the SNHGQ are relevant to the parasite
Cyclospora (e.g., questions about
consumption of meat and dairy
products); on the other hand, additional
data elements (besides those in the
SNHGQ) are needed to capture
information pertinent to Cyclospora and
to fresh produce vehicles of infection.
Therefore, the Cyclosporiasis National
Hypothesis Generating Questionnaire
(CNHGQ) has been developed, by using
core data elements from the SNHGQ and
incorporating modifications pertinent to
Cyclospora.
The core data elements from the
SNHGQ were developed by a series of
working groups comprised of local,
state, and federal public health partners.
Subject matter experts at CDC have
developed the CNHGQ, by modifying
the SNHGQ to include and focus on
data elements pertinent to Cyclospora/
cyclosporiasis. Input also was solicited
from state public health partners.
Because relatively few data elements in
the SNHGQ needed to be modified, a
full vetting process was determined not
to be necessary. The CNHGQ has been
designed for administration over the
telephone by public health officials, to
collect data elements from case-patients
or their proxies. The data that is
collected will be pooled and analyzed at
CDC, to generate hypotheses about
potential vehicles/sources of infection.
CDC requests OMB approval to collect
information via the CNHGQ from
persons who have developed
symptomatic cases of Cyclospora
infection during periods in which
increased numbers of such cases are
reported (typically, during spring and
summer months). In part because
molecular typing methods are not yet
available for C. cayetanensis, it is
important to interview all case-patients
identified during periods of increased
reporting, to help determine if their
cases could be part of an outbreak(s).
The CNHGQ is not expected to entail
substantial burden for respondents. The
estimated total annualized burden
associated with administering the
CNHGQ is 750 hours (approximately
1,000 individuals interviewed x 45
minutes/response). There will be no
costs to respondents other than their
time.
