SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA)
(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal agencies
must obtain approval from the Office of
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
and systems for the purpose of
collecting, validating and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; to train
personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information, to search

information.
Proposed Project
Zika Reproductive Health Call-Back
Survey (ZRHCS), 2017—New—National
Center for Chronic Disease Prevention
and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
In May 2015, the World Health
Organization reported the first local
mosquito born transmission of Zika
virus in the Western Hemisphere, with
autochthonous cases identified in
Brazil. In response to the Zika virus
outbreak, and evidence that Zika virus
infection during pregnancy is a cause

Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 80 / Thursday, April 27, 2017 / Notices
microcephaly and other adverse
pregnancy and infant outcomes, CDC’s
Emergency Operations Center has
continued to work at the highest level
of activation since February 8, 2016. To
date, local transmission has been
identified in at least 50 countries or
territories in the Americas; within the
United States, widespread mosquito
born transmission has been documented
in the territories of Puerto Rico and the
US Virgin Islands, and more localized
transmission has been observed in
Florida and Texas. In addition in the
continental United States, there has
been a large number of travel-related
cases with infection occurring through
mosquito born and sexual transmission.
Given the adverse pregnancy and
birth outcomes associated with Zika
virus infection during pregnancy,
increasing access to effective
contraception is a key countermeasure
for preventing unintended pregnancies
that might otherwise be affected by
Zika. In addition, even in the absence of
disease outbreaks that can lead to
negative pregnancy and birth outcomes,
access to contraception is needed to
help prevent the 45% of pregnancies in
the United States that are unintended.
Given that the proportion of pregnancies
to Zika areas and knowledge of and
adherence to travel recommendations.
The 14 jurisdictions included have had
widespread local transmission, are at
high risk for local transmission, and/or
have a disproportionately high number
of travel-related cases.
The information collected will be
provided to state and territory health
departments to provide a basis on which
to develop emergency response plans
for potential outbreaks and make
decisions regarding the distribution of
finite resources to prevent Zika virus
infection during pregnancy. Given the
potential for new outbreaks and
increases in cases in areas with Zika as
the summer travel and mosquito season
approaches, an interim data set and
report would be made available to states
no later than June, 2017. Additionally,
in the event that a jurisdiction has an
increase in Zika cases or newly reported
local transmission, interim data will be
analyzed and provided within 10
business days to aid in emergency
response planning.
Participation is voluntary and there
are no costs to respondents other than
their time.
that are unintended varies widely across
states, it is important to identify
populations with high unmet need for
contraception to implement targeted
strategies for increasing access to and
availability of effective contraception.
Additionally, it is important for women
who are at risk of becoming pregnant
unintentionally, or who are planning a
pregnancy, to be knowledgeable of
behaviors for preventing mosquito born
and sexual transmission of Zika and
recommendations for waiting to get
pregnant after they or their partner have
returned from an area with Zika.
The objective of this assessment is to
collect scientifically valid, current
information on various aspects of Zika
knowledge and prevention behaviors
from a representative sample of adult
women of reproductive age (aged 18–49
years) in 14 states/territories, including
information: (1) The use of
contraception among women wishing to
avoid or delay pregnancies that might
otherwise be affected by Zika; (2)
barriers to access and use of
contraception; (3) knowledge of and
adherence to mosquito prevention
strategies and use of condoms to
minimize the risk of sexual
transmission; and (4) frequency of travel
