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 information collection, as
required by the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995. This notice invites
comment on a proposed information
collection project titled Risk factors,

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

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.

Background and Brief Description
Oropouche virus is an emerging virus
in the Americas that is spread by the
bite of midges and some species of
mosquitoes. Infection with Oropouche
virus generally causes a febrile illness,
but more severe disease such as
meningitis and hemorrhagic disease can
occur. Beginning in late 2023, the
geographic range of Oropouche virus
has expanded, with over 10,000 cases
from six countries reported in 2024 as
of October 15. The first U.S. cases were
reported in the summer of 2024, all
among returning international travelers.
This recent geographic expansion, along
with reports of deaths among cases,
vertical transmission leading to fetal
loss and birth defects, and identification
of live virus in semen raise concerns
about the broader threat this virus
represents to the United States. There
are numerous gaps in our understanding
of this emerging virus, including the
urgent need to evaluate the possibility
of sexual transmission to inform
prevention recommendations, especially
for pregnant people and their partners,
or those considering pregnancy.
The purpose of this investigation is to
better define the risk factors, clinical
course, viral shedding, and potential for
sexual transmission among patients
with Oropouche virus disease.
Participants will be interviewed about
their symptoms, medical and travel
history, potential risk factors for
infection, and sexual partners since
becoming ill. They will be followed over
time to see if their symptoms reoccur,
which has been highlighted as a unique
feature of Oropouche virus disease
among similar viruses. They will also
submit specimens of various bodily
fluids over a 12-week period to be tested
for Oropouche virus RNA. Lastly, sexual
contacts of people who have been
diagnosed with Oropouche virus disease
will be interviewed to see if they
experienced any symptoms consistent
with Oropouche virus disease after
these sexual encounters. Sexual contacts
that report symptoms will be asked to
have a blood sample collected and
tested for evidence of Oropouche virus
infection.
The findings of this investigation will
inform prevention guidance, improve
clinical recognition and diagnosis, and
prevent further illnesses of Oropouche
virus disease. Preliminary results will
be used immediately to inform agency
response activities and prevention
guidance to help people protect
themselves from Oropouche virus
disease. CDC requests Emergency OMB
approval for an estimated 663 annual
burden hours.
