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 OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are
publishing this notice of a proposed
data collection as described below.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology; and (e) estimates of capital
or start-up costs and costs of operation,
maintenance, and purchase of services
to provide information.
Burden means the total time, effort, or
financial resources expended by persons
to generate, maintain, retain, disclose or
provide information to or for a Federal
agency. This includes the time needed
to review instructions; to develop,
acquire, install and utilize technology
and systems for the purpose of
collecting, validating and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; to train
personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information, to search
data sources, to complete and review
the collection of information; and to

Proposed Project
Survey of Surveillance Records of
Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus
from 1960 to Present—Revision—(OMB
Control number 0920–1146, expires 11/
30/2019) National Center for Emerging
and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases
(NCEZID), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Zika virus response necessitates
the collection of county and sub-county
level records for Aedes aegypti and Ae.
albopictus, the vectors of Zika virus.
This information will be used to update
species distribution maps for the United
States and to develop a model aimed at
identifying where these vectors can
survive and reproduce. CDC is seeking
to revise the information collection
approved under OMB Control number
0920–1146 to collect information for
three years.
In February 2016, OMB received
emergency clearance for a county-level
survey of vector surveillance records for
a limited number of years (2006–2015)
(OMB Control No. 0920–1101,
expiration date 8/31/2016). OMB then
issued clearance for a follow-up
information collection that was very
similar to the first (OMB Control No.
0920–1146, expiration date 11/30/2019)
but expanded the years that were
evaluated. The information collection in
this information collection request will
be very similar of those surveys, but will
collect these data monthly going
forward.
The previous two surveys aimed to
describe the reported distribution of the
Zika virus vectors Aedes aegypti and
Ae. albopictus from 1960 until late 2016
at county and sub-county spatial scales.
The 56-year data review was necessary
because many recent records for these
species of mosquitos were lacking,
likely because from 2004–2015 most
vector surveillance focused on vectors
of West Nile virus (Culex spp.) rather
than Zika vectors. The surveys yielded
important data allowing CDC, states,
and partners to understand the spread of
these mosquitos in the U.S as well as
the environmental conditions necessary
for them to survive. The surveys
reviewed data records from 1960–2016
and resulted in a complete assessment
of historical records of mosquito
surveillance but were not designed to
collect these types of data routinely over
time.
In this revision, CDC will also seek
information on locations of the
mosquito traps at sub-county spatial

scales through an online data portal
called MosquitoNET (https://
wwwn.cdc.gov/Arbonet/MosquitoNET)
and will be expanded to include
insecticide susceptibility and resistance
data on local populations of mosquitos.
Data will be collected monthly through
the expiration date of this OMB
approval.
Such information will aid in (1)
targeting vector control efforts to
prevent mosquito-borne Zika virus
transmission in the continental U.S. and
(2) targeting future vector surveillance
efforts. The resulting maps and models
will inform the public and policy
makers of the known distribution of
these vectors, identify gaps in vector

primary recipients and instructed to set
up accounts on the MosquitoNET Web
site via a simple process. Data collection
from ELC recipients will then begin. In
order to limit the burden of data entry
on respondents who may be entering
information for their state, they will
have the option of submitting the data
via email to CDC using an excel survey.
This information collection request is
authorized by Section 301 of the Public
Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 241). The
total estimated annualized burden time
is 192 hours. There will be no
anticipated costs to respondents other
than time.

surveillance, and target allocation of
surveillance and prevention resources.
As part of the Zika response, efforts to
identify Ae. aegypti and Ae. albopictus
in the continental U.S. were
substantially enhanced during 2016 and
funding will be provided to states to
continue to enhance surveillance for
these vectors through the longstanding
Epidemiology and Laboratory Capacity
Program that was expanded to now
include mosquito surveillance.
Respondents will include vector
control professionals, entomologists,
and public health professionals who are
recipients of ELC funding or their
designated points of contact. The
respondents will be contacted via ELC

(CNHGQ) during Investigations of
Foodborne Disease Clusters and
Outbreaks—New—Center for Global
Health (CGH), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
An estimated 1 in six Americans per
year become ill with a foodborne
disease. Foodborne outbreaks of
cyclosporiasis—caused by the parasite
Cyclospora cayetanensis—have been
reported in the United States since the
mid-1990s and have been linked to
various types of fresh produce. During
the 15-year period of 2000–2014, 31
U.S. foodborne outbreaks of
cyclosporiasis were reported; the total
case count was 1,562. It is likely that
more cases (and outbreaks) occurred
than were reported; in addition, because
of insufficient data, many of the
reported cases could not be directly
linked to an outbreak or to a particular
food vehicle.
Collecting the requisite data for the
initial hypothesis-generating phase of
investigations of multistate foodborne
disease outbreaks is associated with
multiple challenges, including the need
to have high-quality hypothesisgenerating questionnaire(s) that can be
used effectively in multijurisdictional
investigations. Such a questionnaire was
developed in the past for use in the
context of foodborne outbreaks caused
by bacterial pathogens; that
