• What other cognitive abilities or
other cognitive competencies are
needed?
• What gaps exist between what
miners are required to do for self-escape
and their capabilities?
• How can self-escape be improved
by redesigning, eliminating, or
modifying tasks or training, or by
altering or introducing specific
technologies/tools?
To answer these questions, we will
use a task analysis study design that
utilizes a multiple-method approach, to
include (a) review of available research,
(b) interviews and focus group meetings
with participants, and (c) unobtrusive
observation (e.g., of drills). During
interviews and focus groups, targeted
questions are asked to elicit the level
and type of desired information. This
system of collecting information is
‘‘active’’ in that participants are
presented stimuli (e.g., disaster
scenarios, worker roles) and asked
directly to provide their perceptions
(e.g., of tasks or cognitive requirements
needed to accomplish self-escape in that
disaster). Observation checklists have
been developed to capture relevant
information during the unobtrusive
naturalistic observations of self-escape
drills. These data are then organized,
collated, and re-presented to
participants for confirmation of
accuracy. Recommendations are
generated based on study findings,
related research and practices, and
logical inference.
Participants will be mining personnel
drawn from two operating coal mines,
one large and one smaller mine, to
represent the variety within the
industry. The data collection schedule
(e.g., timing and duration of interviews
and focus groups) will be modified as
needed to minimize disruption to mine
operations. Up to 30 miner volunteers
will participate in the study. Minimal
time (< 5 minutes each) will be spent in
recruitment and obtaining informed
consent.
Semi-structured interviews with mine
personnel will require 1.5–2 hours of
their time depending on the interview.
Each of the two focus groups (the Initial
Focus Group and the HTA) will require
approximately 12 hours of a
participant’s time total. However, a
given focus group will be executed in
smaller blocks of time to reduce the
burden on participants. Participants in
the Initial Focus Group are not required
to participate in the HTA Focus Group.
Observation of drills will occur as
part of normal mine operations and will
not result in any additional burden on
the respondents.
The total estimated burden hours are
207.

ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC) in the
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) is publishing this Notice
to inform the public of the criteria CDC
considers for requesting federal travel
restrictions for public health purposes,
including for use of the Do Not Board
(DNB) list and Public Health Border
Lookout records. Individuals with
communicable diseases that pose a
public health threat to travelers can be
placed on this list to restrict them from
boarding commercial aircraft arriving
into, departing from, or traveling within
the United States. This notice further
describes the factors that HHS/CDC will
consider in evaluating whether to
request that an individual who may
have been exposed to a hemorrhagic
fever virus be placed on the DNB list,
which is administered by the
Department of Homeland Security
(DHS). It also contains information for

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
Individuals with communicable
diseases who travel on commercial
aircraft can pose a risk for infection to
the traveling public. In June 2007, HHS/
CDC and DHS developed a public health
DNB list, enabling domestic and
international public health officials to
request that individuals with
communicable diseases who meet
specific criteria, including having a
communicable disease that poses a
public health threat to the traveling
public, be restricted from boarding
commercial aircraft arriving into,
departing from, or traveling within the
United States.1 The public health DNB
list, administered by DHS and based on
HHS/CDC’s requests, is intended to
supplement state and/or local public
health measures to prevent individuals
who are infectious, or reasonably
believed to have been exposed to a
communicable disease and may become
infectious, from boarding commercial
aircraft. Use of the list is limited to
those communicable diseases that
would pose a public health threat to
travelers should the infected individual
be permitted to board a flight. Once an
individual is placed on the DNB list,
airlines are instructed not to issue a
boarding pass to the individual for any
commercial domestic flight or for any
commercial international flight arriving
in or departing from the United States.
An individual is typically removed from
the DNB upon receipt by HHS/CDC of
the treating physician’s or public health
authority’s statement (or other medical
documentation) that the individual is no
longer considered infectious, or lapse of
the period that the individual is at risk
of becoming infectious without
development of symptoms.
Individuals included on the DNB list
are assigned a Public Health Border
Lookout (‘‘Lookout’’) record that assists
in ensuring that an individual placed on
the DNB is detected if he or she
attempts to enter or depart the United
States through a port of entry. When this
happens, officials from U.S. Customs
and Border Protection (CBP), a
component agency of DHS, notify HHS/
CDC so that a thorough public health
inquiry and evaluation can be
conducted and appropriate public
health action taken, as needed.
Requests for an individual to be
placed on the public health DNB list
with an associated Lookout record
happen through a number of means,
including: State or local public health
officials contact the CDC Quarantine
Station of jurisdiction, health-care
providers make requests by contacting
their state or local public health
departments, and foreign and U.S.
government agencies contact the CDC’s
Emergency Operations Center (EOC) in
Atlanta. HHS/CDC may also request that
DHS place an individual on the public
health DNB and Lookout lists if HHS/
CDC becomes independently aware of
an individual who meets the placement
criteria.2
HHS/CDC has refined the criteria that
it initially considered, as published in
the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly
Report (MMWR) in 2008, and this notice
describes the criteria CDC currently
considers when making requests to DHS
to include an individual on the DNB list
and associated Lookout record. If an
individual satisfies the first criteria and
any of the three other criteria, then he/
she may qualify to be placed on the list.
Currently, HHS/CDC considers whether:
(1) The individual is known or
reasonably believed to be infectious or
reasonably believed to have been
exposed to a communicable disease and
may become infectious with a
communicable disease that would be a
public health threat should the
individual be permitted to board a
commercial aircraft or travel in a
manner that would expose the public;
