Circumstances of Change Request for OMB 0920-1146

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Division of Vector-Borne Diseases (DVBD) requests a nonmaterial/non-substantive change to the currently approved Information Collection Request (ICR): “Survey of Surveillance Records of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus from 1960 to Present”.

CDC requests minor changes to our approved ICR that would increase the number of MosquitoNET respondents from 64 to 94. The additional 30 respondents will be drawn from participants in the MosquitoNet focus group held in spring, 2018 (OMB approved 0920-1050). We will invite those participants that have expressed an interest in contributing local surveillance data.

The current data collection tool (MosquitoNET) targets 64 jurisdictions (states, territories and 4 large cities) receiving CDC funding under the Epidemiology and Laboratory (ELC) Cooperative Agreement. By adding 30 additional respondents, CDC intends to pilot a project that targets respondents below the state level including county health departments and mosquito abatement districts. The pilot evaluation will allow us to assess the feasibility, completeness, and usefulness of sub-state level data. While data collection from recipients of ELC funding is a requirement of the award, collection of data at the sub-jurisdiction level is voluntary.

We intend that the results of this pilot evaluation will provide CDC information to support a future revision ICR that would further increase the number of respondents to include more sub-jurisdiction respondents.

Description of the changes

CDC requests a change only in the number of approved respondents (from 64 to 94) to allow us to pilot the usefulness of sub-jurisdiction data. The information collection tool (MosquitoNET) and burden per response remain unchanged.

Burden

The revised burden hours to OMB Control No 0920-1146 are in the table below. Total burden would increase by 90 hours per year: from 192 to 282.

Type of Respondent	Form Name	No. of Respondents	No. of Responses per Respondent	Average Burden per Response (in hours)	Total Burden Hours
Public health professionals	MosquitoNET entry of monthly surveillance records of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus	64 94	12	15/60	192 282
Total					282

There are no anticipated costs to respondents other than time.
