Reduction Act Review
In accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
has submitted the information
collection request titled Congenital
Heart Survey To Recognize Outcomes,
Needs, and well-being (CH STRONG) to
the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for review and approval. CDC
previously published a ‘‘Proposed Data
Collection Submitted for Public
Comment and Recommendations’’
notice on 09/20/2017 to obtain
comments from the public and affected
agencies. CDC did not receive comments
related to the previous notice. This
notice serves to allow an additional 30
days for public and affected agency
comments.
CDC will accept all comments for this
proposed information collection project.
The Office of Management and Budget
is particularly interested in comments
that:
(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.

Proposed Project
Congenital Heart Surveillance To
Recognize Outcomes, Needs, and Wellbeing (CHSTRONG) (OMB Control
Number 0920–1122,Expiration 07/31/
2017)—Reinstatement with Change—
National Center on Birth Defects and
Developmental Disabilities, Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Congenital heart defects (CHDs) are
the most common type of structural
birth defects, affecting approximately 1
in 110 live-born children. In prior
decades, many CHDs were considered
fatal during infancy or childhood, but
with tremendous advances in pediatric
cardiology and cardiac surgery, at least
85% of patients now survive to
adulthood and there are approximately
1.5 million adults with CHD living in
the United States.
With vast declines in mortality from
pediatric heart disease over the past 30
years, it is vital to evaluate long-term
outcomes and quality of life issues for
adults with CHD. However, U.S. data on
long-term outcomes, quality of life
issues, and comorbidities of adults born
with CHD are lacking. U.S. data is
needed to provide insight into the
public health questions that remain for
this population and to develop services
and allocate resources to improve longterm health and wellbeing.
The initial request for this project was
one year, but there were delays in
PO 00000
Frm 00033
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
4055
recruitment due to challenges with
tracking and tracing individuals for
correct addresses. The three sites,
Metro-Atlanta Congenital Defect
Program (MACDP), University of
Arizona, and University of Arkansas,
decided to conduct more intensive and
time-consuming tracking and tracing to
identify more accurate contact
information for all eligible individuals
and for those individuals whose
materials were returned as
undeliverable. At MACDP, this required
modifying a contract to include the task
of tracking and tracing 2,313
individuals. While the large majority of
tracking and tracing at all three sites
took place in the first year of the project,
including that for the 2,313 individuals
above, an additional 1,115 mothers of
eligible individuals need to be sent a
contact information form to assist to
locating their child. Due to these delays
and changes in the recruitment process,
CH STRONG data collection is expected
to last an additional 24 months and
conclude two years after receiving OMB
approval.
Since July 2016, the three CH
STRONG sites identified 9,228
individuals with CHD through their
respective birth defects registries. The
CH STRONG project has successfully
tracked and traced 6,417 individuals for
current contact information. To date, the
three sites have sent recruitment
materials to 3,651 individuals (40% of
all individuals).
The purpose of this survey is to
collect information on barriers to health
care, quality of life, social and
educational outcomes, and transition of
care from childhood to adulthood
among adults born with CHD. Currently,
Congress has appropriated
approximately $4 million per year to
CDC to conduct surveillance among
adults with CHD.
CH STRONG will survey adults aged
18 to 45 years of age and born with a
CHD as identified through the birth
defects surveillance system in three
participating sites in the United States.
The information collected from this
cohort will be used to identify the
healthcare, educational, and social
service needs of adults with CHDs.
Findings will be reported through peerreviewed publications, presentations at
state and national conferences, and
webinars and reports to partners who
work on CHD. The findings will be used
by national, state and local
organizations to allocate resources and
develop services and programs for
adults with CHD.
With the information collected in this
survey, the CDC, along with its partners,
will have information on healthcare

Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 19 / Monday, January 29, 2018 / Notices
needs and quality of life among a U.S.
population-based group of adults with
CHD. 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.

Zika Reproductive Health and

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
