error thereby decreasing future data
collection burden to the public. The
studies that will be covered under this
request will include one or more of the
following investigational modalities: (1)
Focus group and individual interviews;
(2) cognitive interviews for development
and testing of specific data collection
instruments; (3) component testing of
instruments developed from qualitative
research or communication methods; (4)
testing of behavioral interventions; (5)
public acceptance of intervention and
prevention methods; (6) utilizing
computer-assisted instruments
(including Web-based technology).
Respondents who will participate in
individual and group interviews
(qualitative, cognitive, and computer-
appropriate methods, interventions, and
instruments.
This request includes studies
investigating the utility and
acceptability of proposed recruitment
methods, intervention contents and
delivery, questionnaire domains,
individual questions, and interactions
with project staff or electronic data
collection equipment. These activities
will also provide information about how
respondents answer questions and ways
in which question response bias and
error can be reduced. Overall, these
development activities are intended to
provide information that will increase
the success of the surveillance or
research project through increasing
response rates and decreasing response
assisted development activities) are
selected purposely from those who
respond to recruitment advertisements.
In addition to utilizing advertisements
for recruitment, respondents who will
participate in research on survey
methods may be selected purposively or
systematically from within an ongoing
surveillance or research project.
CDC estimates that in a given year,
46,529 individuals will participate in 10
different information collection
activities each year, each lasting
between 6–12 months.
Participation of respondents is
voluntary and there is no cost to the
respondents other than their time.

Proposed Project
Foreign Quarantine Regulations (42
CFR part 71), (OMB Control No. 0920–
0134)—Extension—National Center for
Preparedness, Detection, and Control of
Infectious Diseases (NCPDCID), Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Section 301 of the Public Health
Service Act (PHSA) (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 into
the United States. Legislation and
existing regulations governing the
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’s health.
Under the foreign quarantine
regulations, the master of a ship or
captain of an airplane entering he
United States from a foreign port is
required by public health law to report
certain illnesses among passengers (42
CFR 71.21 (b)). In addition to the
aforementioned list of illnesses which
must be reported to CDC, the master of
a ship or captain of an airplane must
also report (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 personnel health information to

the authority of section 301 of the
Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C.).
This information collection request
also includes the Passenger Locator
Information Form. The Passenger
Locator Information 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 significance
while traveling on a conveyance. HHS
delegates authority to CDC to conduct
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 airline pilots,
ships’ captains, importers, and travelers.
The nature of the quarantine response
dictates which forms are completed by
whom.
There are no costs to respondents
except for their time to complete the
forms.
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 the Public Health Service
when indicated. These practices and
procedures assure protection against the
