Proposed Project 

Zika Reproductive Health Call-Back 

Survey (ZRHCS), Puerto Rico, 2017— 

New—National Center for Chronic 

Disease Prevention and Health 

Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

In May 2015, the World Health 

Organization reported the first local 

mosquito born transmission of Zika 

virus in the Western Hemisphere, with 

autochthonous cases identified in 

Brazil. In response to the Zika virus 

outbreak, and evidence that Zika virus 

infection during pregnancy is a cause 

microcephaly and other adverse 

pregnancy and infant outcomes, CDC 

activated its Emergency Operations 

Center to its highest level on February 

8, 2016 and continues to engage in Zika 

virus operations. 

To date, Puerto Rico has reported the 

highest number of Zika virus cases of 

any area within the United States, with 

the Puerto Rico Department of Health 

(PRDH) reporting more than 40,000 

cases of Zika virus infection, including 

3,757 cases in pregnant women. Given 

the adverse pregnancy and birth 

outcomes associated with Zika virus 

infection during pregnancy and the 

current lack of a vaccine, it is important 

for women who are at risk of becoming 

pregnant unintentionally, or who are 

planning a pregnancy, to be 

knowledgeable about the potential 

outcomes of Zika virus infection. In 

addition, it is important for them to 

practice effective pregnancy prevention 

behaviors when they do not desire 

pregnancy and to prevent mosquitoborne and sexual transmission of Zika 

virus. 

This is a request for a new 

information collection. CDC requests 

one additional year of clearance to 

continue the Emergency information 

collection, ‘‘Emergency Zika Package: 

Zika Reproductive Health Survey, 

Puerto Rico, 2017,’’ approved by the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) in July 2017 (OMB Control 

Number 0920–1188). 

The objective of this assessment is to 

collect current information on various 

aspects of Zika knowledge and 

prevention behaviors from a 

representative sample of adult women 

in Puerto Rico. Information will be 

collected on the following topics: (1) 

Knowledge of and adherence to 

mosquito prevention strategies, and (2) 

use of condoms to minimize the risk of 

sexual transmission of Zika, and (3) 

behaviors practiced by women who 

wish to avoid or delay pregnancies that 

help them prevent unintended 

pregnancies that might otherwise be 

affected by Zika. CDC will rapidly 

summarize and analyze the information 

collected for the Puerto Rico 

Department of Health to determine the 

need for further refinements in 

educational messaging and allocation of 

resources, as established during the first 

season of the Zika outbreak. There is no 

cost to respondents other than the time 

to participate. The total estimated 

annual burden hours are 117.

(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

Proposed Project 

Congenital Heart Survey To Recognize 

Outcomes, Needs, and well-being (CH 

STRONG) (OMB Control Number: 0920– 

1122, Expiration 07/31/2017)— 

Reinstatement with change—National 

Center on Birth Defects and 

Developmental Disabilities (NCBDDD), 

Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

Congenital heart defects (CHDs) are 

the most common type of structural 

birth defects, affecting approximately 1 

in 110 live-born children. In prior 

decades, many CHDs were considered 

fatal during infancy or childhood, but 

with tremendous advances in pediatric 

cardiology and cardiac surgery, at least 

85% of patients now survive to 

adulthood and there are approximately 

1.5 million adults with CHD living in 

the United States. 

With vast declines in mortality from 

pediatric heart disease over the past 30 

years, it is vital to evaluate long-term 

outcomes and quality of life issues for 

adults with CHD. However, U.S. data on 

long-term outcomes, quality of life 

issues, and comorbidities of adults born 

with CHD are lacking. U.S. data is 

needed to provide insight into the 

public health questions that remain for 

this population and to develop services 

and allocate resources to improve longterm health and wellbeing. 

The initial request for this project was 

one year, but there was a delay in 

recruitment that results in a change in 

the recruitment process. Therefore, an 

additional 24 months is being requested. 

The three sites decided to conduct more 

intensive and time-consuming tracking 

and tracing to identify more accurate 

contact information for all eligible 

individuals. In addition to more 

intensive tracking and tracing, the sites 

decided to send recruitment materials in 

batches rather than all at once. This 

ensured that problems with the 

recruitment process were caught 

immediately and could be modified in 

subsequent rounds of recruitment. Due 

to these delays and changes in 

recruitment process, CH STRONG data 

collection is expected to last an 

additional 24 months and conclude two 

years after receiving an extension from 

OMB.
