This information will inform local, state, and federal resource allocation for services targeting U.S. adults with CHD, a group that is increasing in size and currently totals over 1.5 million. Additionally, clinicians will have information to counsel families of children with CHD on how to prepare for their child’s future. Without the information, needed resource allocation and services for adults and information on long-term outcomes for children with CHD are unknown. Across the three sites, there are 2,766 individuals that were tracked and traced in the first year of the project, but have not yet been recruited to participate in the survey. Additionally, mothers of 1,115 individuals will be sent a letter and contact information form to assist in reaching their child. It is estimated that half of these mothers will complete the form (n=556); 85% (n=474) in English and 15% (n=83) in Spanish. Therefore, with the 2,766 yet to be recruited, and the approximately 556 individuals that will be successfully tracked and traced through the mother’s contact form, approximately 3,322 potential respondents will be contacted. It is expected that approximately 70%, or 2,325 respondents, will participate. The total estimated annual burden hours are 563.

Background and Brief Description In May 2015, the World Health Organization reported the first local mosquito-borne transmission of Zika virus in the Western Hemisphere. Through the course of the outbreak, local transmission was identified in at least 50 countries or territories in the Americas; within the United States, widespread mosquito born transmission was documented in the territories of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, with localized transmission 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. In response to the Zika virus outbreak, and evidence that Zika virus infection during pregnancy is a cause of microcephaly and other adverse pregnancy and infant outcomes, CDC’s Emergency Operations Center was activated to respond to the Zika virus outbreak from January 22, 2016– September 29, 2017. Given the adverse pregnancy and birth outcomes associated with Zika virus infection during pregnancy, through this response CDC developed specific recommendations for preconception E:\FR\FM\29JAN1.SGM 29JAN1 4057 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 19 / Monday, January 29, 2018 / Notices care and counseling. These recommendations included discussing travel plans with women and couples, screening them for possible exposure to Zika virus, and providing counseling on behaviors to prevent sexual and mosquito born transmission of Zika and Zika affected pregnancies. As part of its assessment of emergency response efforts, CDC has surveyed women of reproductive age (18–49 years) in Puerto Rico, the U.S. territory with highest number of reported Zika virus cases and widespread local transmission. However, no information is available for other U.S. states and territories, including those with more localized transmission or a large number of travel related cases. Given the ongoing risk for Zika transmission in parts of the Americas and other areas of the world, there is a continuing need to screen women for potential exposure, particularly related to travel, which may put them at risk for additional infectious diseases that affect pregnancy. While the Zika virus outbreak created the need to mount public health efforts specifically targeted to women of reproductive age, other natural disasters, such as the recent hurricanes in the Gulf Coast and Caribbean, also have been associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes and a wide range of needs that are unique to women and children. The recent hurricanes have thus highlighted the need for states to develop response plans specifically targeted to women of reproductive age (18–49 years) and for a wider range of public health emergencies. In response to current state needs to address preparedness, including reproductive health preparedness related to weather emergencies, CDC has adjusted its information collection instrument to address these circumstances. The objectives of this information collection will be to provide states with the information they need to assess whether women in this age group: (1) Are being screened for potential travel related exposures and are they knowledgeable about recommendations for pregnancy timing in regards to Zika exposure; (2) are prepared for natural disasters and other types of public health emergencies including addressing their reproductive health needs in these circumstances. The jurisdictions included have all had widespread local transmission, are at high risk for local transmission, and/or have had travel-related cases. Additionally, many of the same jurisdictions have been affected by the recent hurricanes along the Gulf Coast and the Caribbean. There is no cost to respondents other than the time to participate.

Proposed Project

    Zika Reproductive Health and Emergency Response Call-Back Survey, 
2018--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-borne transmission of Zika virus in the Western Hemisphere. 
Through the course of the outbreak, local transmission was identified 
in at least 50 countries or territories in the Americas; within the 
United States, widespread mosquito born transmission was documented in 
the territories of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, with 
localized transmission 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.
    In response to the Zika virus outbreak, and evidence that Zika 
virus infection during pregnancy is a cause of microcephaly and other 
adverse pregnancy and infant outcomes, CDC's Emergency Operations 
Center was activated to respond to the Zika virus outbreak from January 
22, 2016-September 29, 2017. Given the adverse pregnancy and birth 
outcomes associated with Zika virus infection during pregnancy, through 
this response CDC developed specific recommendations for preconception

care and counseling. These recommendations included discussing travel 
plans with women and couples, screening them for possible exposure to 
Zika virus, and providing counseling on behaviors to prevent sexual and 
mosquito born transmission of Zika and Zika affected pregnancies.
    As part of its assessment of emergency response efforts, CDC has 
surveyed women of reproductive age (18-49 years) in Puerto Rico, the 
U.S. territory with highest number of reported Zika virus cases and 
widespread local transmission. However, no information is available for 
other U.S. states and territories, including those with more localized 
transmission or a large number of travel related cases. Given the 
ongoing risk for Zika transmission in parts of the Americas and other 
areas of the world, there is a continuing need to screen women for 
potential exposure, particularly related to travel, which may put them 
at risk for additional infectious diseases that affect pregnancy.
    While the Zika virus outbreak created the need to mount public 
health efforts specifically targeted to women of reproductive age, 
other natural disasters, such as the recent hurricanes in the Gulf

    The objectives of this information collection will be to provide 
states with the information they need to assess whether women in this 
age group: (1) Are being screened for potential travel related 
exposures and are they knowledgeable about recommendations for
