Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission to OMB for Review and Approval; Public Comment Request, 39406-39407 [2014-16075]

Download as PDF 39406 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 132 / Thursday, July 10, 2014 / Notices constitute final agency action. The appeal will be reviewed and decided upon by an HHS/CDC senior management official who will be senior to the employee who issued the initial letter of denial. Since animals denied entry to the United States will be re-exported immediately under standard operating procedures at U.S. ports of entry, any successful appeal of a denial of entry after the dog(s) has already been reexported would only permit the importer to reimport the dog(s) into the United States under the requirements of the confinement agreement. The appeal would not entitle the importer to recover any costs related to the re-export and reimport of the dog(s). The policy and program operations described above will become effective on August 11, 2014. Dated: July 7, 2014. Ron A. Otten, Acting Deputy Associate Director for Science, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
