SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The Otay Mesa LPOE is located 

approximately 17 miles southeast of 

downtown San Diego, just north of the 

U.S. border and the Baja California 

Peninsula of Mexico. When it was 

constructed in 1983, its primary 

purpose was to divert growing 

commercial truck traffic from the 

increasingly busy San Ysidro LPOE to 

the west, at the southern terminus of 

Interstate 5. The Otay Mesa LPOE 

processes commercial and privatelyowned vehicle and pedestrian traffic. 

Since the LPOE opened, vehicle and 

pedestrian traffic and the population 

and general development in the area 

have grown. It is now one of the ten 

busiest land ports in the country and is 

the busiest commercial port on the 

California-Mexico border, processing 

the second highest volume of trucks, 

and third highest dollar volume of trade 

among all U.S.-Mexico LPOEs. Everincreasing traffic loads and new security 

initiatives require increased capacity 

and new inspection technology to be 

installed and implemented at existing 

facilities. 

The Project’s purpose is to improve 

the efficiency, effectiveness, security 

and safety at the existing Otay Mesa 

LPOE. The Project’s need, or the need to 

which the GSA is responding, is to 

increase the LPOE’s capacity due to 

increased demand, and to address 

public and employee safety and border 

security concerns. 

The DEIS considers two ‘‘action’’ 

alternatives and one ‘‘no action’’ 

alternative. The Preferred Alternative 

would include the development of an 

approximately 10-acre GSA-owned plot 

of land to the immediate east of the 

existing commercial import lot. The 

new lot would be used to construct 

commercial inspection buildings and 

additional commercial import lanes. It 

would also include improvements to 

existing pedestrian lanes and personal 

vehicle inspection lanes; relocation of 

personnel currently housed in the 

Pedestrian, Commercial Import and 

Commercial Export buildings; 

renovation of existing facilities 

throughout the Otay Mesa LPOE; and 

demolition of facilities that would no 

longer be needed would also occur. New 

construction would include commercial 

import and exit booths, six additional 

pedestrian lanes in the Pedestrian 

Building, a Commercial Annex Building 

(CAB), a return-to-Mexico lane for 

commercial traffic, a pedestrian ramp 

and parking areas for the new 

commercial lot. Building renovations 

would include the installation of energy 

conservation measures and water 

conservation measures across the Otay 

Mesa LPOE, the correction of 

deficiencies throughout existing 

facilities (e.g., updating security 

systems, updating HVAC systems, 

improving lighting and repaving old 

asphalt surfaces), and refurbishing the 

interiors of the pedestrian, commercial 

import and commercial export buildings 

including repainting and replacing 

flooring. 

The Reduced Build Alternative would 

include many of the same activities as 

under the Preferred Alternative; 

however, the overall activity level 

would be lower. Notably, no new 

construction would occur on the 10-acre 

GSA-owned plot of land, and the 

Commercial Annex Building would not 

be constructed; instead, the plot of land 

would be paved and used as additional 

space for the commercial vehicle 

inspection booths which would be 

reconfigured to increase traffic flow. 

Renovation of existing facilities would 

still occur, but activities would be 

limited to updating security and HVAC 

systems and repainting interiors. 

The No Action alternative assumes 

that modernization and expansion of the 

existing LPOE would not occur and that 

a new facility would not be constructed 

adjacent to the existing LPOE. The 

LPOE would continue to operate under 

current conditions. 

Public Meeting 

The meeting will be conducted in an 

open house format, where project 

information will be presented and 

distributed. Comments must be received 

by August 31, 2018, and emailed to 

osmahn.kadri@gsa.gov or sent to the 

address listed above.

a proposed and/or continuing 

information collection, as required by 

the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. 

This notice invites comment on a 

proposed information collection project 

titled FoodNet Population Survey. The 

FoodNet Population Survey is 

conducted in 10 states and collects data 

on the prevalence of acute 

gastrointestinal illness in the United 

States and exposures associated with 

foodborne illness. 

DATES: CDC must receive written 

comments on or before October 9, 2018. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, 

identified by Docket No. CDC–2018– 

0072 by any of the following methods: 

• Federal eRulemaking Portal:

Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 155 / Friday, August 10, 2018 / Notices 39755 

(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; and 

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. 

5. Assess information collection costs. 

Proposed Project 

FoodNet Population Survey— 

Extension ICR—National Center for 

Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious 

Diseases (NCEZID), Centers for Disease 

Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

Foodborne illnesses represent a 

significant public health burden in the 

United States. It is estimated that each 

year, 48 million Americans (1 in 6) 

become ill, 128,000 are hospitalized, 

and 3,000 die as the result of a 

foodborne illness. Since 1996, the 

Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance 

Network (FoodNet) has conducted 

active population-based surveillance for 

Campylobacter, Cryptosporidium, 

Cyclospora, Listeria, Salmonella, Shiga 

toxin-producing Escherichia coli O157 

and non-O157, Shigella, Vibrio, and 

Yersinia infections. Data from FoodNet 

serves as the nation’s ‘‘report card’’ on 

food safety by monitoring progress 

toward CDC Healthy People 2020 

objectives. 

Since the previous OMB approval, 

pilot testing has been completed and 

data collection began in all states. As of 

July 10, 2018 a total of 11,657 surveys 

have been completed between all survey 

modes including landline, cell phone, 

web, and mail. CDC is seeking two years 

of OMB clearance for an extension of 

control number 0920–1112. 

Evaluation of efforts to control 

foodborne illnesses can only be done 

effectively if there is an accurate 

estimate of the total number of illnesses 

that occur, and if these estimates are 

recalculated and monitored over time. 

Estimates of the total burden start with 

accurate and reliable estimates of the 

number of acute gastrointestinal illness 

episodes that occur in the general 

community. To more precisely estimate 

this and to describe the frequency of 

important exposures associated with 

illness, FoodNet created the Population 

Survey. 

The FoodNet Population Survey is a 

survey of persons residing in the 

surveillance area. Data are collected on 

the prevalence and severity of acute 

gastrointestinal illness in the general 

population, describe common 

symptoms associated with diarrhea, and 

determine the proportion of persons 

with diarrhea who seek medical care. 

The survey also collects data on 

exposures (e.g. food, water, animal 

contact) commonly associated with 

foodborne illness. Information about 

food exposures in the general public has 

proved invaluable during outbreak 

investigations. The ability to compare 

exposures reported by outbreak cases to 

the ‘background’ exposure in the general 

population allows investigators to more 

quickly pinpoint a source and enact 

control measures. 

CDC seeks approval for an OMB 

extension to continue this important 

work. The total estimated Burden Hours 

for this collection is 6,067 annually. 

There is no cost to the respondents 

other than their time.
