Proposed Project
Survey of Surveillance Records of
Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus
from 1960 to Present (OMB Control
Number 0920–1146, expiration date 11/
30/2019)—Revision—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 Ae.
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
to revise the collection approved under
OMB Control number 0920–1146 for
clearance to collect information for
three years.
In February 2016, OMB issued
emergency clearance for a county-level
survey of vector surveillance records for
a limited number of years (2006–2015)
(OMB Control No. 0920–1101,
expiration date 8/31/2016). OMB then
issued clearance for a follow-up
information collection similar to the
first (OMB Control No. 0920–1146,
expiration date 11/30/2019) but
expanded the years that were evaluated.
The information collection in this
request will be very similar of those
surveys, but will collect these data
monthly going forward.
The previous two surveys aimed to
describe the reported distribution of the
Zika virus vectors Aedes aegypti and
Ae. albopictus from 1960 until late 2016
at county and sub-county spatial scales.
The 56 year data review was necessary
because many recent records for these
species of mosquitos were lacking,
likely because from 2004–2015 most
vector surveillance focused on vectors
of West Nile virus (Culex spp.) rather
than Zika vectors. The surveys yielded
important data allowing CDC, states,
and partners to understand the spread of
these mosquitos in the U.S. as well as
the environmental conditions necessary
for them to survive. The surveys
reviewed data records from 1960–2016
and resulted in a complete assessment
of historical records of mosquito
surveillance but were not designed to
collect these types of data routinely over
time.
In this revision, we will also seek
information on locations of the
mosquito traps at sub-county spatial
scales through an online data portal
called MosquitoNET (https://
www.cdc.gov/Arbonet/MosquitoNET)
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
surveillance, and target allocation of
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 public
health professionals who are recipients
of ELC funding or their designated
points of contact. The respondents will
be contacted via ELC 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 number of
burden hours is 189. There will be no
anticipated costs to respondents other
than time.

including the ICR Title, to the desk
officer for HRSA, either by email to
OIRA_submission@omb.eop.gov or by
fax to 202–395–5806.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To
request a copy of the clearance requests
submitted to OMB for review, email the
HRSA Information Collection Clearance
Officer at paperwork@hrsa.gov or call
(301) 443–1984.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: When

Small Health Care Provider Quality
Improvement Program, OMB No. 0915–
0387 ¥ Extension
Abstract: This program is authorized
by Title III, Public Health Service Act,
Section 330A(g) (42 U.S.C. 254c(g)), as
amended by Section 201, Public Law
107–251, and Section 4, Public Law
110–355. This authority directs the
Federal Office of Rural Health Policy
(FORHP) to support grants that expand
access to, coordinate, contain the cost

of, and improve the quality of essential
health care services, including
preventive and emergency services,
through the development of health care
networks in rural and frontier areas and
regions. The authority allows HRSA to
provide funds to rural and frontier
communities to support the direct
delivery of health care and related
services, expand existing services, or
enhance health service delivery through
education, promotion, and prevention
programs.
The purpose of the Small Health Care
Provider Quality Improvement Grant
(Rural Quality) Program is to provide
support to rural primary care providers
for implementation of quality
improvement activities. The program
promotes the development of an
evidence-based culture and delivery of
coordinated care in the primary care
setting. Additional objectives of the
program include improved health
outcomes for patients, enhanced chronic
disease management, and better
engagement of patients and their
caregivers. Organizations participating
in the program are required to use an
evidence-based quality improvement
model; develop, implement and assess
effectiveness of quality improvement
initiatives; and use health information
technology (HIT) to collect and report
data. HIT may include an electronic
patient registry or an electronic health
record, and is a critical component for
improving quality and patient
outcomes. With HIT, it is possible to
generate timely and meaningful data,
which helps providers track and plan
care.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: FORHP collects this
information to quantify the impact of
grant funding on access to health care,
quality of services, and improvement of
health outcomes. FORHP uses the data
for program improvement, and grantees
use the data for performance tracking.
No changes are proposed from the
current data collection effort. A 60-day
notice was published in the Federal
Register (81 FR 95621, (December 28,
2016)). There were no public comments.
Likely Respondents: Grantees of the
Small Health Care Provider Quality
Improvement Program.
Burden Statement: Burden in this
context means the time expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain,
