testing may include testing of changes
in sampling or contacting potential
respondents.
The majority of participants in
cognitive and pilot testing activities are
expected to be adults ≥18 years of age.
Information may be collected during the
recruitment process to assist in the
selection of respondents. Respondents
may be recruited to take part in testing
through online or newspaper
advertisements. If the participants are
not recruited to be present at a physical
location, they may be called and
recruited by telephone.
NCCDPHP programs and collaborators.
Each information collection activity
conducted through this generic will be
submitted to OMB for approval in a
project-specific information collection
request that describes its purpose and
methods.
Participation in cognitive and pilot
testing is voluntary, but respondents
will be encouraged to participate by
explanations of the need for their input
in the introduction of each survey. CDC
requests approval for an 8,950 burden
hours annually. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time.
Cognitive and pilot testing are
efficient means of identifying problems
with questions and procedures prior to
implementation of data collection.
Thus, they are cost effective approaches
to providing evidence on survey
questionnaire performance. A
consequence of cognitive and pilot
testing is to maintain high levels of
participation in the information
collection process itself.
Initial response and burden estimates
are based on anticipated information
collection needs for the BRFSS, with an
additional allocation for a variety of

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
has submitted the information
collection request titled Lyme and Other
Tickborne Diseases Knowledge,

Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for review and approval. CDC
previously published a ‘‘Proposed Data

notice on June 5, 2019 to obtain
comments from the public and affected

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
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
(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

Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 156 / Tuesday, August 13, 2019 / Notices
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
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. The
maximum estimated, annualized burden
hours are 9,583 hours.
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. There is no cost to
respondents other than their time.
