This information collection request expired on March 31, 2007. CDC is authorized to collect this information under 42 CFR 70.5 (Certain communicable diseases; special requirements). This regulation requires that any person who is in the communicable period for cholera, plague, smallpox, typhus, or yellow fever or having been exposed to any such disease is in the incubation period thereof, to apply for and receive a permit from the Surgeon General or his authorized representative in order to travel from one State or possession to another. Control of disease transmission within the States is considered to be the province of state and local health authorities, with Federal assistance being sought by those authorities on a cooperative basis without application of Federal regulations. The regulations in 42 part 70 were developed to facilitate Federal action in the event of large outbreaks requiring a coordinated effort involving several states, or in the event of inadequate local control. While it is not known whether, or to what extent situations may arise in which these regulations would be invoked, contingency planning for domestic emergency preparedness is now commonplace. Should these situations arise, CDC will use the reporting and recordkeeping requirements contained in the regulations to carry out quarantine responsibilities as required by law.

SUMMARY: The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announces the following public meeting: Partnerships to Advance the National Occupational Research Agenda (NORA)’’. Public Meeting Time and Date: 9 a.m.–3 p.m. EST, February 27, 2008. Place: Patriots Plaza, 395 E Street SW., Conference Room 9000, Washington, DC 20201. Purpose of Meeting: NORA has been structured to engage partners with each other and/or with NIOSH to advance NORA priorities. The NORA Liaison Committee continues to be an opportunity for representatives from organizations with national scope to learn about NORA progress and to suggest possible partnerships based on their organization’s mission and contacts. This opportunity is now able to be structured as a public meeting via the Internet in order to attract participation by a larger number of organizations and to enhance the success of NORA. Some of the types of organizations of national scope that are especially encouraged to participate are rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with NOTICES AGENCY: VerDate Aug<31>2005 16:47 Feb 19, 2008 Jkt 214001 employers, unions, trade associations, labor associations, professional associations, and foundations. Others are welcome. This meeting will include updates from NIOSH leadership on NORA as well as updates from approximately half of the Councils on their progress, priorities and implementation plans to date, including the Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing Sector; Healthcare and Social Assistance Sector; Transportation, Warehousing and Utilities Sector; Mining Sector and Oil and Gas Extraction Sub-Sector. After each update, there will be time to discuss partnership opportunities. Status: The meeting is open to the public, limited only by the capacities of the conference call and conference room facilities. There is limited space available in the meeting room (capacity 34). Therefore, information to allow participation in the meeting through the internet (to see the slides) and a teleconference call (capacity 50) will be provided to registered participants. Participants are encouraged to consider attending by this method. Each participant is requested to register for the free meeting by sending an E-mail to noracoordinator@cdc.gov containing the participant’s name, organization name, contact phone number on the day of the meeting, and preference for participation by web meeting (requirements include: Computer, internet connection and phone, preferably with ‘‘mute’’ capability) or in person. An E-mail confirming registration will include the details needed to participate in the web meeting. Non-U.S. citizens are encouraged to participate in the web meeting. Non-U.S. citizens registering to attend in person after February 15 will not have time to comply with security procedures.

Unveiled in 1996, NORA has become a research framework for the nation. Diverse parties collaborate to identify the most critical issues in workplace safety and health. Partners then work together to develop goals and objectives for addressing those needs and to move the research results into practice. The NIOSH role is facilitator of the process. For more information about NORA, see https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/nora/ about.html. Since 2006, NORA has been structured by industrial sectors. Eight sector groups have been defined using the North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS). After receiving public input through the web and town hall meetings, NORA Sector Councils have been working to define sector-specific strategic plans for conducting research and moving the results into widespread practice. During 2008, most of these Councils will post draft strategic plans for public comment.

    Restriction on Travel of Persons (OMB Control No. 0920-0488)--
Reinstatement--National Center for Preparedness, Detection, and Control 
of Infectious Diseases (NCPDCID), Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is requesting OMB 
approval to reinstate without change the information collection 
request, ``Restriction on Travel of Persons'' (OMB Control No. 0920-
0488). This information collection request expired on March 31, 2007.
    CDC is authorized to collect this information under 42 CFR 70.5 
(Certain communicable diseases; special requirements). This regulation 
requires that any person who is in the communicable period for cholera, 
plague, smallpox, typhus, or yellow fever or having been exposed to any 
such disease is in the incubation period thereof, to apply for and 
receive a permit from the Surgeon General or his authorized 
representative in order to travel from one State or possession to 
another.
    Control of disease transmission within the States is considered to 
be the province of state and local health authorities, with Federal 
assistance being sought by those authorities on a cooperative basis 
without application of Federal regulations. The regulations in 42 part 
70 were developed to facilitate Federal action in the event of large 
outbreaks requiring a coordinated effort involving several states, or 
in the event of inadequate local control. While it is not known 
whether, or to what extent situations may arise in which these 
regulations would be invoked, contingency planning for domestic 
emergency preparedness is now commonplace. Should these situations 
arise, CDC will use the reporting and recordkeeping requirements 
contained in the regulations to carry out quarantine responsibilities 
as required by law.
    There is no cost to respondents other than their time.
