SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with NOTICES
Background
The Otay Mesa LPOE is located
approximately 17 miles southeast of
downtown San Diego, just north of the
U.S. border and the Baja California
Peninsula of Mexico. When it was
constructed in 1983, its primary
purpose was to divert growing
commercial truck traffic from the
increasingly busy San Ysidro LPOE to
the west, at the southern terminus of
Interstate 5. The Otay Mesa LPOE
processes commercial and privatelyowned vehicle and pedestrian traffic.
Since the LPOE opened, vehicle and
pedestrian traffic and the population
and general development in the area
have grown. It is now one of the ten
busiest land ports in the country and is
the busiest commercial port on the
California-Mexico border, processing
the second highest volume of trucks,
and third highest dollar volume of trade
among all U.S.-Mexico LPOEs. Everincreasing traffic loads and new security
initiatives require increased capacity
and new inspection technology to be
installed and implemented at existing
facilities.
The Project’s purpose is to improve
the efficiency, effectiveness, security
and safety at the existing Otay Mesa
LPOE. The Project’s need, or the need to
which the GSA is responding, is to
increase the LPOE’s capacity due to
increased demand, and to address
public and employee safety and border
security concerns.
The DEIS considers two ‘‘action’’
alternatives and one ‘‘no action’’
alternative. The Preferred Alternative
would include the development of an
approximately 10-acre GSA-owned plot
of land to the immediate east of the
existing commercial import lot. The
new lot would be used to construct
commercial inspection buildings and
additional commercial import lanes. It
would also include improvements to
existing pedestrian lanes and personal
vehicle inspection lanes; relocation of
personnel currently housed in the
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 244001
Pedestrian, Commercial Import and
Commercial Export buildings;
renovation of existing facilities
throughout the Otay Mesa LPOE; and
demolition of facilities that would no
longer be needed would also occur. New
construction would include commercial
import and exit booths, six additional
pedestrian lanes in the Pedestrian
Building, a Commercial Annex Building
(CAB), a return-to-Mexico lane for
commercial traffic, a pedestrian ramp
and parking areas for the new
commercial lot. Building renovations
would include the installation of energy
conservation measures and water
conservation measures across the Otay
Mesa LPOE, the correction of
deficiencies throughout existing
facilities (e.g., updating security
systems, updating HVAC systems,
improving lighting and repaving old
asphalt surfaces), and refurbishing the
interiors of the pedestrian, commercial
import and commercial export buildings
including repainting and replacing
flooring.
The Reduced Build Alternative would
include many of the same activities as
under the Preferred Alternative;
however, the overall activity level
would be lower. Notably, no new
construction would occur on the 10-acre
GSA-owned plot of land, and the
Commercial Annex Building would not
be constructed; instead, the plot of land
would be paved and used as additional
space for the commercial vehicle
inspection booths which would be
reconfigured to increase traffic flow.
Renovation of existing facilities would
still occur, but activities would be
limited to updating security and HVAC
systems and repainting interiors.
The No Action alternative assumes
that modernization and expansion of the
existing LPOE would not occur and that
a new facility would not be constructed
adjacent to the existing LPOE. The
LPOE would continue to operate under
current conditions.
Public Meeting
The meeting will be conducted in an
open house format, where project
information will be presented and
distributed. Comments must be received
by August 31, 2018, and emailed to
osmahn.kadri@gsa.gov or sent to the
address listed above.

ACTION: Notice with comment period.
AGENCY:
The Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC), as part of
its continuing effort to reduce public
burden and maximize the utility of
government information, invites the
general public and other Federal
agencies the opportunity to comment on
a proposed and/or continuing
information collection, as required by
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
This notice invites comment on a
proposed information collection project
titled FoodNet Population Survey. The
FoodNet Population Survey is
conducted in 10 states and collects data
on the prevalence of acute
gastrointestinal illness in the United
States and exposures associated with
foodborne illness.
DATES: CDC must receive written
comments on or before October 9, 2018.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments,

Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 155 / Friday, August 10, 2018 / Notices
(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 the OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are
publishing this notice of a proposed
data collection as described below.
The OMB is particularly interested in
comments that will help:
1. 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;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
4. 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,
effectively if there is an accurate
estimate of the total number of illnesses
that occur, and if these estimates are
recalculated and monitored over time.
Estimates of the total burden start with
accurate and reliable estimates of the
number of acute gastrointestinal illness
episodes that occur in the general
community. To more precisely estimate
this and to describe the frequency of
important exposures associated with
illness, FoodNet created the Population
Survey.
The FoodNet Population Survey is a
survey of persons residing in the
surveillance area. Data are collected on
the prevalence and severity of acute
gastrointestinal illness in the general
population, describe common
symptoms associated with diarrhea, and
determine the proportion of persons
with diarrhea who seek medical care.
The survey also collects data on
exposures (e.g. food, water, animal
contact) commonly associated with
foodborne illness. Information about
food exposures in the general public has
proved invaluable during outbreak
investigations. The ability to compare
exposures reported by outbreak cases to
the ‘background’ exposure in the general
population allows investigators to more
quickly pinpoint a source and enact
control measures.
CDC seeks approval for an OMB
extension to continue this important
work. The total estimated Burden Hours
for this collection is 6,067 annually.
There is no cost to the respondents
other than their time.
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.
5. Assess information collection costs.
Proposed Project
FoodNet Population Survey—
Extension ICR—National Center for
Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious
Diseases (NCEZID), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Foodborne illnesses represent a
significant public health burden in the
United States. It is estimated that each
year, 48 million Americans (1 in 6)
become ill, 128,000 are hospitalized,
and 3,000 die as the result of a
foodborne illness. Since 1996, the
Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance
Network (FoodNet) has conducted
active population-based surveillance for
Campylobacter, Cryptosporidium,
Cyclospora, Listeria, Salmonella, Shiga
toxin-producing Escherichia coli O157
and non-O157, Shigella, Vibrio, and
Yersinia infections. Data from FoodNet
serves as the nation’s ‘‘report card’’ on
food safety by monitoring progress
toward CDC Healthy People 2020
objectives.
Since the previous OMB approval,
pilot testing has been completed and
data collection began in all states. As of
July 10, 2018 a total of 11,657 surveys
have been completed between all survey
modes including landline, cell phone,
web, and mail. CDC is seeking two years
of OMB clearance for an extension of
control number 0920–1112.
Evaluation of efforts to control
foodborne illnesses can only be done
