The Centers for Disease Control and

information collection requests under
review by the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) in compliance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35). To request a copy of these
requests, call the CDC Reports Clearance
Officer at (404) 371–5983 or send an email to omb@cdc.gov. Send written
comments to CDC Desk Officer, Office of
Management and Budget, Washington,

Proposed Project
Foreign Quarantine Regulations, OMB
No. 0920–0134—Revision—National
Center for Infectious Diseases (NCID),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description:
Section 361 of the Public Health
Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C. 264)
authorizes the Secretary of Health and
Human Services (DHHS) to make and
enforce regulations necessary to prevent
the introduction, transmission, or
spread of communicable diseases from
foreign countries into the United States.
Legislation and the existing regulations
governing foreign quarantine activities
(42 CFR part 71) authorize quarantine
officers and other personnel to inspect
and undertake necessary control
measures with respect to conveyances,
persons, and shipments of animals and
etiologic agents entering the United
States from foreign ports in order to
protect the public health.
Under foreign quarantine regulations,
the master of a ship or captain of an
airplane entering the United States from
a foreign port is required by public
health law to report certain illnesses

Frm 00047
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
among passengers (42 CFR 71.21)(b). In
this revision, CDC proposes adding two
additional reporting requirements. First,
in addition to the aforementioned list of
required illnesses to be reported, CDC is
asking that reports be made for the
following conditions, which may
indicate a reportable illness: (1)
Hemorrhagic fever syndrome (persistent
fever accompanied by abnormal
bleeding from any site); or (2) acute
respiratory syndrome (severe cough or
severe respiratory disease of less than 3
weeks in duration); or (3) acute onset of
fever and severe headache,
accompanied by stiff neck or change in
level of consciousness. CDC has the
authority to collect personal health
information to protect the health of the
public under the authority of section
301 of the Public Health Service Act (42
U.S.C.).
Second, CDC proposes adding the
Passenger Locator Form currently under
OMB control number 0920–0664 to
OMB control number 0920–0134. The
Passenger Locator Form is used to
collect reliable information that assists
quarantine officers in locating in a
timely manner those passengers and
crew who are exposed to communicable
diseases of public health importance
while traveling on a conveyance.
Additional burden hours for the
voluntary reporting of additional certain
illnesses and the Passenger Locator
Form are reflected in the burden hour
table below. DHHS delegates authority
to CDC to conduct quarantine control
measures. Currently, with the exception
of rodent inspections and the cruise
ship sanitation program, inspections are
performed only on those vessels and
aircraft which report illness prior to
arrival or when illness is discovered
upon arrival. Other inspection agencies
assist quarantine officers in public
health screening of persons, pets, and
other importations of public health
significance and make referrals to PHS
when indicated. These practices and
procedures assure protection against the
introduction and spread of
communicable diseases into the United
States with a minimum of
recordkeeping and reporting as well as
a minimum of interference with trade
and travel.
Respondents include airplane pilots,
ships’ captains, importers, and travelers.
The nature of the quarantine response
would dictate which forms are
completed by whom. There are no costs
to respondents except for their time.
The total estimated annual burden
hours are 225,759.

Background and Brief Description
Field Biologists and members of allied
disciplines (Ecology, Conservation
Biology, Wildlife Biology, Mammalogy,
etc.) frequently come in contact with
wild animals, many of which may carry
diseases transmissible to humans
(zoonotic diseases). Examples of these
diseases include Rabies, Hantavirus
Pulmonary Syndrome, Leptospirosis,
Tularemia and many others. The recent
death of a Wildlife Sciences graduate
student from occupationally-acquired
Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome
highlights the vulnerability of this
population to zoonotic diseases. The
graduate student’s exposure was
thought to be due to inadequate
understanding of the risk of zoonotic
disease and need for proper animal
handling and personal protective
equipment (PPE) use.
Throughout the field biology
community, there are no universally
accepted standards for zoonosis risk
reduction education, safe animal

handling or PPE use. While it may be
difficult to re-train seasoned biologists
who have established habits related to
animal handling and PPE use, new
members of the community (i.e.
undergraduate and graduate students)
may represent an opportunity for timely
intervention. By developing proper
animal handling and PPE use habits
early in their careers, field biologists can
minimize their exposure to potentially
fatal zoonotic illnesses.
The proposed survey asks 85
Department Chairs (or Program
Directors, as surrogates) of university
training programs in field-related
biological sciences about their
programs’ policies regarding zoonotic
disease education, safe animal handling
training, and PPE training and use. The
survey consists of an introductory letter
and a self-administered, Web-based
questionnaire e-mailed to persons at
universities in the United States. The
study objectives are to describe current
knowledge, attitudes and practices of
educational institutions and their
faculty regarding zoonotic disease risks
and protection of undergraduate and
graduate students, and to determine
what types of national guidelines on
zoonotic disease risk reduction in
university training programs are needed.
If these data were not collected, it
would make it more difficult to create
logical and appropriate national
guidelines for zoonotic risk reduction in
university training programs. This data
collection supports the CDC’s broader
research agenda of understanding the
determinants of illness in vulnerable
populations. There is no cost to the
respondents other than their time.
