Proposed Project
Importation of Etiologic Agents,
Hosts, and Vectors of Human Disease
(42 CFR 71.54)—(OMB Control No.
0920–0199)—Revision—Office of the
Director (OD), Centers for Disease
Control (CDC).
In compliance with the requirement
of section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 for
opportunity for public comment on
proposed data collection projects, the
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) will publish periodic
summaries of proposed projects. To
request more information on the
proposed projects or to obtain a copy of
the data collection plans and
instruments, call 404–639–5960 and
send comments to Seleda Perryman,
CDC Assistant Reports Clearance
Officer, 1600 Clifton Road, MS–D74,
Atlanta, GA 30333 or send an e-mail to
omb@cdc.gov.
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)
Background and Brief Description
The Foreign Quarantine Regulations
(42 CFR part 71) set forth provisions to
prevent the introduction, transmission,
and spread of communicable disease
from foreign countries into the United
States. Subpart F—Importations—
contains provisions for importation of
etiologic agents, hosts, and vectors (42
CFR 71.54), requiring persons that
import or distribute after importing
these materials to obtain a permit issued
by the CDC. This request is for the
information collection requirements
contained in 42 CFR 71.54 for issuance
of permits by CDC to importers or
distributors after importation of
etiologic agents, hosts, or vectors of
human disease.
CDC is requesting continued OMB
approval to collect this information
through the use of two separate forms.
These forms are: (1) Application for
Permit to Import or Transport Etiologic
Agents, Hosts, or Vectors of Human

The Application for Permit to Import
or Transport Etiologic Agents, Hosts, or
Vectors of Human Disease will be used
by laboratory facilities, such as those
operated by government agencies,
universities, research institutions, and
zoologic exhibitions, and also by
importers of nonhuman primate trophy
materials, such as hunters or
taxidermists, to request permits for the
importation and subsequent distribution
after importation of etiologic agents,
hosts, or vectors of human disease. The
Application for Permit to Import or
Transport Etiologic Agents, Hosts, or
Vectors of Human Disease requests
applicant and sender contact
information; description of material for
importation; facility isolation and
containment information; and personnel
qualifications.
The Application for Permit to Import
or Transport Live Bats will be used by
laboratory facilities such as those
operated by government agencies,
universities, research institutions, and
zoologic exhibitions entities to request
importation and subsequent distribution
after importation of live bats. The
Application for Permit to Import or
Transport Live Bats requests applicant
and sender contact information; a
description and intended use of bats to
be imported; facility isolation and
containment information; and personnel
qualifications. Estimated average time to
complete this form is 20 minutes. There
are no costs to respondents other than
their time.

Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request
Title: The Office of Community
Services (OCS) Evaluation Initiative.
OMB No.: New Collection.
Description: This questionnaire is part
of a contract that addresses evaluation
strategies for three programs
administered by OCS: Community
Economic Development (CED), Rural
Community Facilities (RF), and Job
Opportunities for Low-Income
Individuals (JOLI). The legislative
requirement for two of these programs,
i.e., the RF and CED programs, is in
Title IV of the Community
Opportunities, Accountability, and
Training and Educational Services Act
(COATS Human Services
Reauthorization Act) of Oct. 27, 1998,
Public Law 105–285, sec. 680(b) as
amended. This legislative directive
states that ‘‘The Secretary shall require
all activities receiving assistance under
this section to be evaluated for their
effectiveness. Funding for such
evaluations shall be provided as a stated
percentage of the assistance or through
a separate grant awarded by the
Secretary specifically for the purpose of
evaluation of a particular activity or
group of activities.’’
Under Title V, section 505, of the
Family Support Act of 1988, Public Law
100–485, sec. 505(f), JOLI was initially
a demonstration program that required
local evaluations of each project. When
JOLI was reauthorized in 1996 (Public
Law 104–193—August 22, 1996), it no
longer had demonstration status and
evaluation requirements. As a result, a
formal evaluation for the JOLI program
has not been conducted since the 1996
Public Law reauthorization. At this
time, OCS is interested in a formal
evaluation to assess the JOLI program.
OCS has chosen to evaluate all three
of these programs through a separate
contract awarded by the Secretary using
the Office of Management and Budget’s
(OMB) Performance Assessment Rating
Tool (PART) in order to critically review
the overall design and effectiveness of
each program in its totality. The
evaluation initiative contract provides
the central office with the mechanism to
ensure that all programs evaluated will
have consistent data that is in agreement
with the direction of OMB and provides
the Secretary with information on
program efficiency and effectiveness.
The evaluation survey’s primary
purpose is to document and
systematically evaluate the program
performance of three OCS discretionary
grant programs in qualitative and
quantitative terms. Thus it will assess
each of the three OCS discretionary
grant programs—CED, RF, and JOLI—
using qualitative and quantitative
evaluation methods that capture key
information about program and granteelevel performance in four general areas:
(1) Program purpose and design; (2)
strategic planning; (3) program
management; and (4) program results.
The evaluation activities will build on
the initial year’s findings and methods,
with the goal of expanding data
collection and analysis to improve the
validity and generalizability of findings.
The questionnaire will be
administered online.
Respondents: Active CED and JOLI
grantees with grants awarded from 2001
through 2004.

Description: The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF) within the
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) is requesting comments
on plans to continue data collection for
the Evaluation of Independent Living
Programs funded under the Chafee
Foster Care Independence Program. The
Foster Care Independence Act of 1999
(Pub. L. 106–169) mandates evaluations
of promising independent living
programs administered by State and
local child welfare agencies. ACF is
conducting an evaluation of four
independent living programs using a
randomized experimental design. Youth
aged 14–21 receiving independent
living program services are interviewed
at three points during the evaluation
period. Program administrators, staff,
and youth participate in interviews,
observations, and focus groups
conducted during program site visits.
