Proposed Project 

Assessing the Capacity of Vector 

Management Programs in the United 

States to Provide Comprehensive 

Community-level Tick Management 

Services—New—National Center for 

Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious 

Diseases (NCEZID), Centers for Disease 

Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

A number of previously conducted 

surveys have focused on private pest 

management firms or agencies in a 

single state. The overall capacity for 

publicly-funded comprehensive tick 

management in the regions of interest 

remains poorly understood, especially 

in high incidence areas. Data collected 

by engaging vector management 

program staff will inform the 

development of sustainable and 

effective community-level tick 

management programs by assessing the 

feasibility of program components, the 

resources necessary to add new 

functions to existing vector management 

programs, and the expected costs 

associated with delivering 

comprehensive tick management 

services. This survey will identify 

robust vector management programs 

with which CDC can partner to refine 

guidance for the development of 

comprehensive community-level tick 

management programs, which can be 

adapted to specific regional ecologies 

and communities. Ultimately, this 

survey is an important first step toward 

developing a community of practice for 

publicly-funded, comprehensive tick 

management programs in the United 

States. The survey will lay the 

groundwork for efforts to establish local 

entities capable of first evaluating the 

efficacy of tick control methods, and 

then broadly deploying those measures 

proven effective and acceptable in order 

to: (a) Reduce the number of infected 

ticks in the environment, and (b) reduce 

human bites by infected ticks. 

The primary goals of this project are 

two-fold: (1) Assess the current tick 

management capacity and knowledge in 

vector management programs that 

receive public funding in the Upper 

Midwest, mid-Atlantic, Northeast, and 

Pacific coast states; and (2) determine 

the services that vector management 

program staff believe should be part of 

comprehensive tick management 

programs if they are developed in the 

future. We also hope to identify barriers 

to the development of comprehensive 

tick management programs and ways 

CDC can begin to address gaps. 

CDC requests OMB approval for an 

estimated 63 annual burden hours. 

There is no cost to respondents other 

than their time to participate.

Proposed Data Collection Submitted 

for Public Comment and 

Recommendations 

AGENCY: Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC), Department of Health 

and Human Services (HHS). 

ACTION: Notice with comment period. 

SUMMARY: 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 continuing information collection, as 

required by the Paperwork Reduction 

Act of 1995. This notice invites 

comment on a proposed information 

collection project titled Resources and 

Services Database of the CDC National 

Prevention Information Network (NPIN). 

This information collection request is 

designed to support a resource for 

referrals, to facilitate partnerships and 

coordination among programs dealing 

with HIV/AIDS, viral hepatitis, STDs, 

and TB, and to satisfy the legislative 

mandate that information and education 

on HIV/AIDS be made available 

expeditiously and accurately to the 

professional community and to the 

general public. 

DATES: CDC must receive written 

comments on or before July 12, 2022. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, 

identified by Docket No. CDC–2022– 

0054 by either of the following methods: 

• Federal eRulemaking Portal: 

www.regulations.gov. Follow the 

instructions for submitting comments. 

• Mail: Jeffrey M. Zirger, Information 

Collection Review Office, Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention, 1600 

Clifton Road NE, MS H21–8, Atlanta, 

Georgia 30329. 

Instructions: All submissions received 

must include the agency name and 

Docket Number. CDC will post, without 

change, all relevant comments to 

www.regulations.gov. 

Please note: Submit all comments 

through the Federal eRulemaking portal 

(www.regulations.gov) or by U.S. mail to 

the address listed above.

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 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. 

Proposed Project 

Resources and Services Database of 

the National Prevention Information 

Network (NPIN) (OMB Control No. 

0920–0255, Exp. 01/31/2023)— 

Revision—National Center for HIV/ 

AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, Sexually 

Transmitted Diseases, and Tuberculosis 

Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

The CDC is requesting a Revision and 

three-year approval for Resources and 

Services Database of the National 

Prevention Information Network (NPIN) 

(OMB Control No. 0920–0255). 

Revisions include, minor formatting, 

changes to the surveys involving the 

decrease in the number of services 

collected, and changes to the NPIN 

Questionnaire for new organizations 

and for annual updates to reflect the 

changes and modernize the look. 

NPIN is a critical member of the 

network of government agencies, 

community organizations, businesses, 

health professionals, educators, and 

human services providers that educate 

the American public about the grave 

threat to public health posed by HIV/ 

AIDS, viral hepatitis, STDs, and TB, and 

provides services for persons infected 

with human immunodeficiency virus 

(HIV). 

The NPIN Resources and Services 

Database contains entries on 

approximately 10,700 organizations and 

is the most comprehensive listing of 

HIV/AIDS, viral hepatitis, STD, and TB 

resources and services available 

throughout the country. The American 

public can also access the NPIN 

Resources and Services database 

through the NPIN website. More than 

1,668,000 unique visitors and more than 

3,000,000 page views are recorded 

annually. 

To accomplish CDC’s goal of 

continuing efforts to maintain an up-todate, comprehensive database, NPIN 

plans each year to add up to 800 newly 

identified organizations and to verify 

those organizations currently described 

in the NPIN Resources and Services 

Database each year. Organizations with 

access to the internet will be given the 

option to complete and submit an 

electronic version of the questionnaire 

by visiting the NPIN website. 

CDC requests OMB approval for an 

estimated 1,164 annual burden hours. 

There are no costs to respondents other 

than their time to participate.
