The goal of these interviews with
school professionals is to understand
needs of school professionals (including
school nurses, school counselors, school
psychologists, and school
administrators) for materials or tools
related to TBI. The materials will
provide guidance on how to prevent and
recognize TBI in students. The content
discussed in these interviews will be
used to refine materials and develop
future materials. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time.

Proposed Project
The National Survey of Family
Growth (NSFG)–(0920–0314)—
Revision—National Center for Health
Statistics (NCHS), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Section 306 of the Public Health
Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C. 242k), as
amended, authorizes that the Secretary
of Health and Human Services (DHHS),
acting through NCHS, shall collect
statistics on ‘‘family formation, growth,
and dissolution,’’ as well as
‘‘determinants of health’’ and
‘‘utilization of health care’’ in the
United States. This three-year clearance
request includes the data collection in
2010–2012 for the continuous NSFG.
The National Survey of Family
Growth (NSFG) was conducted
periodically between 1973 and 2002,
and continuously since 2006, by the
National Center for Health Statistics,
CDC. Each year, about 14,000
households are screened, with about
5,000 participants interviewed annually.
Participation in the NSFG is completely
voluntary and confidential. Interviews
average 60 minutes for males and 80
minutes for females. The response rate
since 2006 is about 75 percent for both
males and females.
The NSFG programs produces
descriptive statistics which measure
factors associated with birth and
pregnancy rates, including
contraception, infertility, marriage,
divorce, and sexual activity, in the U.S.
population 15–44; and on behaviors that
affect the risk of sexually transmitted
diseases (STD), including HIV, and the
medical care associated with
contraception, infertility, and pregnancy
and childbirth.
NSFG data users include the DHHS
programs that fund it, including CDC/
NCHS and seven others (The Eunice
Kennedy Shriver National Institute for
Child Health and Human Development
(NIH/NICHD); the Office of Population
Affairs (DHHS/OPA); the Office of the
Assistant Secretary for Planning and
Evaluation (DHHS/OASPE); the
Children’s Bureau (DHHS/ACF/CB); the
CDC’s Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention
(CDC/DHAP); the CDC’s Division of STD
Prevention (CDC/DSTD); and the CDC’s
Division of Reproductive Health (CDC/
DRH). The NSFG is also used by state
and local governments; private research
and action organizations focused on
men’s and women’s health, child wellbeing, and marriage and the family;
academic researchers in the social and
public health sciences; journalists, and
many others.
This submission requests approval for
three years. No questionnaire changes
are requested in the first 18 months of
this clearance (July 2009–December
2010); some limited changes may be
requested after that, to be responsive to
emerging public policy issues.
There is no cost to respondents other
than their time.

Proposed Project
Foreign Quarantine Regulations (42
CFR part 71) (OMB Control No. 0920–
0134)—Revision—National Center for
Preparedness, Detection, and Control of
Infectious Diseases (NCPDCID), Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC)
Background and Brief Description
Section 361 of the Public Health
Service Act (42 U.S.C. 264) authorizes
the Secretary of Health and Human
Services (HHS) 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 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 commander of an
airplane entering the United States from
a foreign port is required by public
health law to report certain illnesses
among passengers (42 CFR 71.21(b)).
CDC recently reviewed 42 CFR part 71
and determined that five data collection
requirements and one recordkeeping
requirement had not been included in
previous information collection request
submissions. Thus, in this request to
OMB, CDC is requesting approval for an
additional 2,902 burden hours.
The first additional data collection
requirement is the designation of yellow
fever vaccination clinics. Under 42 CFR
71.3, the Director of CDC delegates to
states the responsibility for designation
of yellow fever vaccination clinics to
states and territories. States and
territories then designate the clinics,
based on application by the facilities
and presentation of evidence. Under the
regulation, facilities must provide
evidence of adequate facilities and
professionally trained personnel for
handling, storage, and administration of
the vaccine. The designated center must
also comply with any instruction issued
by the CDC Director for handling,
storage, and administration of the
vaccine. CDC estimates that
approximately 500 professional staff are
added each year as a registered stamp
holder for the International Certificate of
Vaccination or Prophylaxis. The
estimated time to gather records and
apply to become a stamp holder is one
hour. The additional burden for this
provision is 500 hours.
The second additional data collection
requirement is found in 42 CFR
71.55(c). This provision requires that
the remains of a person who died of a
communicable disease listed in
§ 71.32(b) may not be brought back into
a U.S. port unless the body is (a)
Properly embalmed and placed in a
hermetically sealed casket, (b) cremated,
or (c) accompanied by a permit issued
by the Director of CDC. CDC has
determined that the issuance of a permit
implies a data collection requirement.
CDC estimates a maximum of 5
respondents annually with an average
burden of one hour per respondent, for
an increase of 5 hours for this provision.
The last three data collection
requirements are found under § 71.56.
CDC established this section by Interim
Final Rule in 2003 (68 FR 62353). This
section prohibits the importation of
African rodents, or any rodents whose
native habitat is Africa, or any products
derived from such rodents. Those
wishing to import such animals or
products may apply to the Director of
CDC for an exemption to this
prohibition and may appeal the
Director’s decision. Finally, an
individual or company may appeal a
CDC order causing an animal to be
quarantined, re-exported or destroyed.
These data collection requirements were
originally approved by OMB under
OMB Control No. 0920–0615. This
approval expired July 31, 2004.
Although CDC collected data from less
than 9 respondents annually since the
Interim Final Rule went into effect, CDC
wishes to reinstate the data collection
requirement following recent review of
42 CFR 71. This reinstatement is for 22
burden hours.
Finally, § 71.21(c) requires reporting
of the number of cases (including zero)
of gastrointestinal illness in passengers
and crew recorded in the ship’s medical
log during the current cruise. CDC had
already included the reporting
