Support to be provided for participating employees will include individual health risk assessments, health coaching and education, and opportunities to participate in healthy lifestyle challenges. The NHWP will also provide workplace health program training to additional employers in the seven NHWP communities. CDC may increase the number of NHWP sites that receive assistance, if funding becomes available. CDC plans to collect information needed to select the initial group of participating NHWP worksites; to describe implementation and costs of program sustainability, information will also be collected from additional employers in NHWP communities. There are no costs to participants other than their time, with the exception of the in-kind contribution for large employers. Participation in the NHWP is voluntary for both worksites and employees at those sites. OMB approval is requested for three years. Information will be used to evaluate the NHWP, to identify success drivers for building and maintaining a successful workplace health program, and to develop tools and resources for additional employers who are interested in establishing workplace health programs. workplace health promotion programs at these sites over the initial two-year period of support; to examine the effects of workplace health programs on employee access and opportunity to engage in activities that support a healthy lifestyle; and to quantify reductions in individual health risks and improvements in productivity. In addition, for up to one year after the two-year implementation period, CDC will collect information needed to assess program sustainability. Respondents will include employers, employees, and support staff at sites participating in the NHWP.

Background and Brief Description Section 361 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 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 the referrals to the Public Health Service 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. Small revisions are being requested as part of this package. A modification of format to the Passenger Locator Form (PLF) is requested to account for a change in the scanning software used for the PLF. No change in content is requested. The content will remain identical to the version approved by OMB on 10/28/11. Changes to the data collection related to the confinement of dogs upon arrival to the United States are also requested. The CDC form 75.37, ‘‘Notice of Importers of Dogs’’ will now be identified as CDC form 75.37 ‘‘NOTICE TO OWNERS AND IMPORTERS OF DOGS: Requirement for Dog Confinement.’’ The form has been changed to enhance clarity around the purpose of the form, including: the type of data required, the regulatory requirements the form is meeting, the responsibilities of the importer, whether or not the animal has received a booster rabies vaccine, and the responsibility of the government agent in ensuring that the form is complete. Respondents to this data collection 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. 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 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.). 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 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.

Proposed Project

Foreign Quarantine Regulations (42 CFR 71) (OMB Control No. 0920-
0134) exp. 6/30/12)--Revision--National Center for Emerging and
Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (NCEZID), Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

Section 361 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 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 the 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 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.).
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

make referrals to the Public Health Service 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.
Small revisions are being requested as part of this package. A

to account for a change in the scanning software used for the PLF. No
change in content is requested. The content will remain identical to
the version approved by OMB on 10/28/11.
Changes to the data collection related to the confinement of dogs

Respondents to this data collection include airline pilots, ships'

response dictates which forms are completed by whom. There are no costs
to respondents except for their time to complete the forms.
