The FTC’s portion of the annual
hourly burden would be 1,100,100
hours + ((1,930,000–1,100,100)/2) =
1,515,050 annual hours. The FTC’s
portion of the annual cost burden would
be $29,778,008 +

$41,010,064.
Estimated Capital/Other Non-Labor
Costs Burden
Staff believes that capital or other
non-labor costs associated with the
document requests are minimal.
Covered entities will already be
equipped to provide written notices
(e.g., computers with word processing
programs, typewriters, copying
machines, mailing capabilities). Most
likely, only entities that already have
online capabilities will offer consumers
the choice to receive notices via
electronic format. As such, these entities
will already be equipped with the
computer equipment and software
necessary to disseminate the required
disclosures via electronic means.

(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate
of the burden of the proposed collection
of information; (c) ways to enhance the

agency. This includes the time needed
to review instructions; to develop,

demands for statistical information
about the provision of ambulatory
medical care services in the United
States. Ambulatory services are
rendered in a wide variety of settings,
including physicians’ offices and
hospital outpatient and emergency
departments.
The NAMCS target universe consists
of all office visits made by ambulatory
patients to non-Federal office-based
physicians (excluding those in the
specialties of anesthesiology, radiology,
and pathology) who are engaged in
direct patient care. In 2006, physicians
and mid-level providers (i.e., nurse
practitioners, physician assistants, and
nurse midwives) practicing in
community health centers (CHCs) were
added to the NAMCS sample, and these
data will continue to be collected.
To complement NAMCS data, NCHS
initiated the National Hospital
Ambulatory Medical Care Survey
(NHAMCS, OMB No. 0920–0278) in
1992 to provide data concerning patient
visits to hospital outpatient and
emergency departments. NAMCS and
NHAMCS are the principal sources of
data on ambulatory care provided in the
United States.
A three-year clearance is requested.
There is no cost to the respondents
other than their time.

Survey (NAMCS), (OMB No. 0920–0234

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 the utilization of health
care provided by non-federal officebased physicians in the United States.
On December 13, 2011, the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB)
approved data collection for three years
from 2012 to 2014. This revision is to
request approval to continue NAMCS
data collection activities for three years
from 2015–2017, make minor
modifications to survey content, and to
collect additional questions on alcohol
screening practices. This notice also
covers potential increases in sample size
that might result due to other future
budget allocations.
NAMCS was conducted annually
from 1973 to 1981, again in 1985, and

Proposed Project
Foreign Quarantine Regulations (OMB
No. 0920–0134, expires 7/31/2015)—
Revision—National Center for Emerging
and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases
(NCEZID), Division of Global Migration
and Quarantine (DGMQ), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
CDC is submitting this revision to
obtain authority to collect electronic
information from importers/filers on
specific types of animals and cargo over
which CDC has authority, notably those
found in 42 CFR part 71. This request
is consistent with requirements of the
Security and Accountability for Every
(SAFE) Port Act that states that all
agencies that require documentation for
clearing or licensing the importation
and exportation of cargo participate in
the International Trade Data System
(ITDS), and is also consistent with CDC
authorities under Section 361 of the
Public Health Service Act (PHSA) (42
U.S.C. 264).
This electronic data is specified by
CDC using Partner Government Agency
(PGA) Message Sets and is collected by
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
from importers/filers when they submit
the information needed through
International Trade Data System ITDS
and the Automated Commercial
Environment (ITDS/ACE) to clear an
import. CDC has developed a PGA
message set for each regulated import
specified in 42 CFR part 71, and each
PGA Message Set includes only those
data requirements necessary in order to
determine whether or not a CDCregulated import poses a risk to public
PO 00000
Frm 00016
Fmt 4703

health and that the importer has met
CDC’s regulatory requirements for entry.
CDC including the PGA Message Sets
for review because there is no set form
or format for the electronic submission
of import related data to CBP and CDC.
CDC is permitted access to the
Automated Commercial Environment
(ACE) data pursuant to 6 CFR § 29.8(b)
and 49 CFR § 1520.11(b), which permit
federal employees with a need to know
to have access to this data.
CDC is maintaining its authority to
collect hard copies of required
documentation, as currently authorized
by the Office of Management and
Budget, because the use of ITDS/ACE
will not be required for imports entering
the United States until a later date. CDC
will accept both hard copy and
electronic filing of import-related
documentation until the use of ACE is
required for cargo entering the United
States.
Through this revision, CDC is
requesting a net increase in the
estimated number of burden hours in
the amount of 8,162. Of these additional
hours, 7,862 pertain to requests for CDC
Message Set data via ITDS/ACE, 167
hours pertain to required statements/
documentation of products being
rendered non-infectious, and 133 hours
pertain to a revised estimate of the
number of CDC form 75.37 ‘‘NOTICE TO
OWNERS AND IMPORTERS OF DOGS:
Requirement for Dog Confinement
required from importers of dogs.
CDC also is providing wholly revised
instructions for the Maritime
Conveyance Cumulative Influenza/
Influenza-Like Illness (ILI) Form and
Maritime Conveyance Illness or Death
Investigations form. No additional
burden is requested for this change,
because no increase in complexity of
instructions or reporting information is
requested.
Finally, CDC has removed burden
totals for 42 CFR 71.52 Turtles,
Tortoises and Terrapins (reduction of 3
hours from burden total); 42 CFR 71.55
Dead Bodies (reduction of 5 hours from
burden total; and 42 CFR 71.56(a)(iii)
and (c) Appeal—Appeal the denial of
permit for importation of regulated
