Proposed Data Collection Submitted
for Public Comment and
Recommendations
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), Department of Health
and Human Services (HHS).
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 Lyme and other Tickborne
Diseases Knowledge, Attitudes, and
Practices Surveys. This will allow for
survey development, pre-testing
activities, and survey administration to
be carried out during the years 2020–
2022 by the Division of Vector-Borne
Diseases (DVBD), National Center for
Emerging and Zoonotic Diseases
(NCEZID), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC). The data
collection for which approval is sought
will allow DVBD to use survey results
to inform implementation of future TBD
prevention interventions.
DATES: CDC must receive written
comments on or before August 5, 2019.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments,
identified by Docket No. CDC–2019–
0047 by any of the following methods:
• Federal eRulemaking Portal:
Regulations.gov. Follow the instructions
for submitting comments.
• Mail: Jeffrey M. Zirger, Information
Collection Review Office, Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention, 1600
Clifton Road NE, MS–D74, Atlanta,
Georgia 30329.
Instructions: All submissions received
must include the agency name and
Docket Number. CDC will post, without
change, all relevant comments to
Regulations.gov.
Please note: Submit all comments
through the Federal eRulemaking portal
(regulations.gov) or by U.S. mail to the

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 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,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.
5. Assess information collection costs.
Proposed Project
Generic Clearance for Lyme and other
Tickborne Diseases Knowledge,
Attitudes, and Practices Surveys—
Extension—National Center for
Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious
Diseases (NCEZID), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) Division of VectorBorne Diseases (DVBD) and other
programs working on tickborne diseases
PO 00000
Frm 00046

(TBDs) are requesting a three year
extension without change for a generic
clearance to conduct TBD prevention
studies to include knowledge, attitudes,
and practices (KAP) surveys regarding
ticks and tickborne diseases (TBDs)
among residents and businesses offering
pest control services in Lyme disease
endemic areas of the United States. The
data collection for which approval is
sought will allow DVBD to use survey
results to inform implementation of
future TBD prevention interventions.
TBDs are a substantial and growing
public health problem in the United
States. From 2004–2016, over 490,000
cases of TBDs were reported to CDC,
including cases of anaplasmosis,
babesiosis, ehrlichiosis, Lyme disease,
Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and
tularemia (CDC, 2018). Lyme disease
accounted for 82% of all TBDs, with
over 400,000 cases reported during this
time period. In addition, several novel
tickborne pathogens have recently been
found to cause human disease in the
United States. Factors driving the
emergence of TBDs are not well defined
and current prevention methods have
been insufficient to curb the increase in
cases. Data is lacking on how often
certain prevention measures are used by
individuals at risk as well as what the
barriers to using certain prevention
measure are.
The primary target population for
these data collections are individuals
and their household members who are
at risk for TBDs associated with I.
scapularis ticks and who may be
exposed to these ticks residentially,
recreationally, and/or occupationally.
The secondary target population
includes owners and employees of
businesses offering pest control services
to residents in areas where I. scapularis
ticks transmit diseases to humans.
Specifically, these target populations
include those residing or working in the
15 highest incidence states for Lyme
disease (CT, DE, ME, MD, MA, MN, NH,
NJ, NY, PA, RI, VT, VA, WI and WV).
We anticipate conducting one to two
surveys per year, for a maximum of six
surveys conducted over a three year
period. Depending on the survey, we
aim to enroll 500–10,000 participants
per study. It is expected that we will
need to target recruitment to about twice
as many people as we intend to enroll.
Surveys may be conducted daily,
weekly, monthly, or bi-monthly per
participant for a defined period of time
(whether by phone or web survey),
depending on the survey or study. The
surveys will range in duration from
approximately 5–30 minutes. Each
participant may be surveyed 1–64 times

Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 108 / Wednesday, June 5, 2019 / Notices
in one year; this variance is due to
differences in the type of information
collected for a given survey. Specific
burden estimates for each study and
each information collection instrument
will be provided with each individual
project submission for OMB review.
Insights gained from KAP surveys will
aid in prioritizing which prevention
methods should be evaluated in future
randomized, controlled trials and
ultimately help target promotion of
proven prevention methods that could
yield substantial reductions in TBD
incidence.
The maximum estimated, annualized
burden hours are 98,830 hours. There is
no cost to respondents other than their
time.
