Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has submitted 
the following information collection request to the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with 
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The notice for the proposed 
information collection is published to obtain comments from the public 
and affected agencies.
    Written comments and suggestions from the public and affected 
agencies concerning the proposed collection of information are 
encouraged. Your comments should address any of the following: (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.
    To request additional information on the proposed project or to

Proposed Project

    Assessment of Interventions Intended to Protect Pregnant Women in 
Puerto Rico from Zika virus Infections--Existing Information Collection 
in Use Without an OMB Control Number--National Center for Emerging and 
Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (NCEZID), Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    CDC intends to request OMB approval of an Existing Information 
Collection in Use Without an OMB Control Number. CDC seeks OMB approval 
until September 2017. This collection is a de facto extension of OMB 
Control number 0920-1118 (expiration date 12/31/16), an information 
collection request approved by OMB under an emergency review in June, 
2016. This information collection request includes continuing one 
project which is part of CDC's ongoing response in Puerto Rico to the 
Zika virus outbreak.
    The goal of the project is to assess the delivery and effects of 
interventions implemented in Puerto Rico to protect pregnant women from 
Zika virus infections and the birth defects that Zika virus can cause 
in their babies. As of February 22, 2017, interventions that have been 
implemented include Zika Education Sessions (at Women, Infants, and 
Children [WIC] clinics), Zika Prevention Kits, communications 
activities, and vector control services in and around the home of 
pregnant women [Indoor Residual Spraying (IRS), Outdoor Residual 
Spraying (ORS), and larviciding].
    Information collected in this assessment will be used to help 
refine interventions that have been conducted to prevent and control 
Zika virus in Puerto Rico and to assess which interventions reduce risk 
and/or offer protection from Zika virus infections.
    Telephone interviews will be conducted with pregnant women in 
Puerto Rico. CDC needs this assessment to ensure that Zika prevention 
activities effectively educate, equip, and encourage women to 
participate in as many Zika prevention behaviors as possible. On-going 
assessment is an important part of this program because it can reveal 
novel ways that women protect themselves from Zika, how effective the 
distribution of the Zika Prevention Kit has been in Puerto Rico, 
perceived severity and susceptibility to Zika, pregnant women's self-
efficacy in protecting themselves from Zika after the interventions 
have been implemented, as well as the extent to which target 
populations are using contents of the Zika Prevention Kit.

[[Page 16836]]

    As the outbreak evolves, interviews with pregnant women in Puerto 
Rico can help articulate motivations for and against engaging in Zika 
prevention behaviors that are critical for preventing Zika-associated 
birth defects and morbidities. Implementing changes based on results 
from this assessment has occurred with the previous information 
collection and is expected to facilitate program improvement and ensure 
the most efficient allocation of resources for this public health 
emergency. Understanding risk and protective factors related to 
interventions and behaviors of pregnant women can help to establish 
priorities.
    There are no costs to the respondents other than their time. The 
total number of estimated annual burden hours is 500.
