Proposed Project Foreign Quarantine Regulations (42 CFR 71) (OMB Control No. 0920–0134 expires 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 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 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 E:\FR\FM\23APN1.SGM 23APN1 24208 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 78 / Monday, April 23, 2012 / Notices 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. 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 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 in this Supporting Statement 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.

Proposed Project Risk Factors for Invasive Methicillinresistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) among Patients Recently Discharged from Acute Care Hospitals through the Active Bacterial Core Surveillance for Invasive MRSA infections (ABCs MRSA)—NEW— National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (NCEZID), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description Preventing healthcare-associated invasive MRSA infections is one of CDC’s priorities. The goal of this project is to assess risk factors for invasive healthcare-associated MRSA infections, which will inform the development of targeted prevention measures. This activity supports the HHS Action Plan for elimination of healthcare-associated infections. Essential steps in reducing the occurrence of healthcare-associated invasive MRSA infections are to quantify the burden and to identify modifiable risk factors associated with invasive MRSA disease. CDC’s current ABCs MRSA surveillance has been essential to quantify the burden of invasive MRSA in the United States. Through this surveillance, CDC was able to estimate that 94,360 invasive MRSA infections associated with 18,650 deaths occurred in the United States in 2005. The majority of these invasive infections (58%) had onset in the community or within three days of hospital admission and occurred among individuals with recent healthcare exposures (healthcareassociated community-onset [HACO]). Number of respondents More recent data from the CDC’s ABCs MRSA system have shown that twothirds of invasive HACO MRSA infections occur among persons who are discharged from an acute care hospital in the prior three months. Risk factors for invasive MRSA infections postdischarge have not been well evaluated, and effective prevention measures in this population remain uncertain. For this project, an estimated total of 450 patients (150 patients with HACO MRSA infection post-acute care discharge and 300 patients without HACO MRSA infection) will be contacted for the MRSA interview annually. This estimate is based on the numbers of MRSA cases reported by the ABCs MRSA sites annually (https:// www.cdc.gov/abcs/reports-findings/ survreports/mrsa08.html) who are 18 years of age or older, had onset of the MRSA infection in the community or within three days of hospital admission, and history of hospitalization in the prior three months. ABCs MRSA surveillance case report forms will be used to identify HACO MRSA cases to be contacted for a telephone interview. For each HACO MRSA case identified; two patients without HACO MRSA infection (control-patients) matched on age with MRSA case will be contacted for a health interview. All 450 patients (both cases and controls) will be screened for eligibility and those considered to be eligible will complete the telephone interview. We anticipate that 350 of the 450 patients screened will complete the telephone interview across all six participating ABCs MRSA sites per year. We anticipate the screening questions to take about 5 minutes and the telephone interview 20 minutes per respondent. There are no costs to respondents. The total response burden for the study is estimated as follows: Number of responses per respondent Average burden per response (in hours) Total burden (in hours) Form name Hospital Patients ...............................

Syndrome (persistent fever accompanied by abnormal bleeding from any
