This notice invites comments on a proposed information collection project titled Characteristics of Patients with Environmentally-derived Triazoleresistant Aspergillus fumigatus. This case report form collects information on demographics, underlying conditions, treatments, and outcomes of patients with triazole-resistant A. fumigatus to inform clinical and public health practice. SUMMARY: CDC must receive written comments on or before February 22, 2022. DATES: You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. CDC–2021– 0131 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 H21–8 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 address listed above.

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; 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; and 5. Assess information collection costs. Proposed Project Characteristics of Patients with Environmentally-derived Triazoleresistant Aspergillus fumigatus—New— National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (NCEZID), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description The environmental mold Aspergillus fumigatus (A. fumigatus) is the primary cause of invasive aspergillosis and is associated with ∼50% mortality in highrisk patients, including stem cell and organ transplant recipients. The use of triazole antifungals has greatly improved survival. However, triazoleresistant A. fumigatus infections are E:\FR\FM\21DEN1.SGM 21DEN1 72239 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 242 / Tuesday, December 21, 2021 / Notices increasingly reported worldwide and are associated with increased mortality and treatment failure. Of particular concern are resistant A. fumigatus isolates carrying the TR34/L98H and TR46/Y121F genetic resistance markers, which are associated with environmental triazole fungicide use rather than previous patient exposure to antifungals. Infections with these triazole-resistant strains have become common among patients with A. fumigatus infections in Europe, Asia, and South America, and have been characterized epidemiologically. However, U.S. reports of isolates carrying TR34/L98H or TR46/Y121F markers are limited, and detailed epidemiologic data are critical to inform public health response. departments and contains an optional supplement at the end involving a brief interview (including data on occupational and environmental exposures) of a patient or their representative. The findings would be used to describe the risk factors, clinical features, and outcomes for patients with triazole-resistance Aspergillus fumigatus. U.S. data on triazoleresistant Aspergillus fumigatus are lacking, although this problem constitutes a major public health threat. CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 8 annual burden hours annually for collection from 15 respondents. There are no costs to respondents other than their time. Through the Antibiotic Resistance Laboratory Network (ARLN), CDC is already receiving A. fumigatus isolates from laboratories across the nation. These isolates undergo testing for triazole resistance (defined using minimum inhibitory concentrations or epidemiologic cutoff values set forth by Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute). For patients involving triazole-resistant isolates, we plan to use a standardized case report form (CRF) to collect public health surveillance data regarding demographics (e.g., age, sex, race/ethnicity, country of residence), underlying medical conditions, treatments, and outcomes (e.g., vital status at 30 days for initial positive specimen).

    The environmental mold Aspergillus fumigatus (A. fumigatus) is the 
primary cause of invasive aspergillosis and is associated with ~50% 
mortality in high-risk patients, including stem cell and organ 
transplant recipients. The use of triazole antifungals has greatly

resistance markers, which are associated with environmental triazole 
fungicide use rather than previous patient exposure to antifungals. 
Infections with these triazole-resistant strains have become common 
among patients with A. fumigatus infections in Europe, Asia, and South

health response.
