(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal agencies
must obtain approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for each
collection of information they conduct
or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also
requires Federal agencies to provide a
60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each new
proposed collection, each proposed
extension of existing collection of
information, and each reinstatement of
previously approved information
collection before submitting the
collection to OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are
publishing this notice of a proposed
data collection as described below.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the

Proposed Project
Active Monitoring of Travelers
Coming from Ebola-affected Countries
and Their Contacts Currently Residing
in State, Territorial, and Local
Jurisdictions—New—Office of
Emergency Preparedness and Response
(OPHPR); Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) is seeking Office of
Management and Budget (OMB)
clearance for 3 years to allow the agency
to effectively complement its ongoing
international and travel-related efforts
for rapid case identification, contact
tracing, and infection control of Ebola
virus disease (EVD) now within the
United States.
CDC is requesting an approval to
receive daily and weekly active
monitoring reports from any, or as many
as, 62 state and local health departments
(SLHDs) involved in active monitoring
of EVD in their jurisdictions. This
information collection is currently
approved via an emergency review
under OMB Approval number 0920–
1066, which expires on 11/30/2015.
These 62 health departments are all
awardees of CDC’s Public Health
Emergency Preparedness (PHEP)
cooperative agreement (CDC–RFA–
TP12–1201). This information collection
is authorized under Section 319C–1 of
the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C.
241), as amended by the Pandemic and
All-Hazards Preparedness
Reauthorization Act of 2013 (PAHPRA,
Public Law 113–5).
Travelers coming from Ebola-affected
countries are screened by U.S.
Quarantine Stations upon entry into the
United States, and are classified into
one of four risk categories according to
the CDC’s ‘‘Interim Guidance for
Monitoring and Movement of Persons
with Potential Ebola Virus Exposure.’’
These risk categories are ‘‘high risk’’,
‘‘some risk’’, ‘‘low (but not zero) risk’’
and ‘‘no identifiable risk.’’ The travelers’
risk classification information is
transmitted by the U.S. Quarantine

Stations to the state, territorial, or local
jurisdictions which the travelers declare
as their final destination. At this point,
the state and local health departments
(SLHDs) begin active monitoring of
these travelers and their contacts for the
development of EVD for 21 days.
For those persons who are identified
during entry screening as being at ‘‘high
risk’’, ‘‘some risk,’’ or who are returning
healthcare workers at ‘‘low, but not
zero, risk,’’ SLHDs are responsible for
ensuring that a public health authority
(or delegate for healthcare workers)
conducts direct active monitoring
(DAM) by directly observing each
person at least once daily to review the
presence of symptoms consistent with
EVD; and discussing plans to work,
travel, take public conveyances, or be
present in congregate locations.
For non-healthcare workers assessed
as being at ‘‘low, but not zero, risk’’,
SLHDs are responsible for conducting
active monitoring (AM) by receiving
daily reports of temperature monitoring
and symptoms from these persons.
The CDC will provide the reporting
forms which will require a minimum
number of data fields to be updated
daily or weekly until active monitoring
is no longer necessary. The respondents
are reporting this information as part of
their official duties as CDC cooperative
agreement awardees. There are no costs
to respondents other that their time. The
total estimated annualized burden hours
are 2,359.

The purpose of this strategic plan is
to define and prioritize occupational
safety and health research and
prevention activities for NIOSH in the
oil and gas exploration and production
industry through 2025. This strategic
plan focuses on conducting priority
research to prevent injuries, illnesses
and fatalities to workers employed in
the onshore, exploration and production
industry. The plan’s research goals are
organized according to the four areas
that make up the NIOSH Oil and Gas
Sector Program: (1) Epidemiology and
surveillance, (2) exposure assessment,
(3) control technologies, and (4)
communications. The plan also includes
performance measures that describe
specific research activities that will be
used to guide research, measure
progress, and evaluate the success of the
NIOSH Oil and Gas Sector Program in
improving safety and health in this
high-risk industry.
Information Needs
NIOSH is seeking public review and
comment on this document from
everyone with an interest in the health
and safety of workers in the oil and gas
extraction and production industry.
