SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA)
(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 the OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are
publishing this notice of a proposed
data collection as described below.
The OMB is particularly interested in
comments that will help:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
4. Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.
5. Assess information collection costs.
Proposed Project
Contact Investigation Outcome
Reporting Forms (OMB Control Number
0920–0900, Expiration 6/30/2018)—
Revision—National Center for Emerging
and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases
(NCEZID), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
This is a request for revision to a
currently approved information
collection, OMB Control Number 0920–
0900, Contact Investigation Outcome
Reporting Forms. CDC requests a threeyear approval for contact investigation
outcome reporting information
collection tools to continue the CDC
routine contact investigation activities.

To understand which pieces of data
are critical to understanding outcomes,
CDC bases all revisions on
reassessments of data from the past
three years.
CDC proposes to collect passengerlevel, epidemiologic, demographic, and
health status data from state/local
Health Departments and maritime
operators at the conclusion of contact
investigations of individuals believed to
have had exposure to a communicable
disease during travel. The health
departments or maritime operators
would obtain the CDC requested
information while conducting the
contact investigation according to their
established policies and procedures,
and would report the information to
CDC on a voluntary basis. This
information will assist CDC in fulfilling
its regulatory responsibility to prevent
the importation of communicable
diseases from foreign countries (42 CFR
part 71) and interstate control of
communicable diseases in humans (42
CFR part 70).
CDC provides state and local health
departments and maritime conveyance
operators with information to notify and
contact individuals and further
investigate this exposure by contacting
others with potential exposure to
disease. However, there currently is no
standardized tool or form to collect
pertinent information regarding the
outcome of such investigations.
To address the need to inform CDC of
additional actions that may be needed to
further protect public health based on
the outcome of the contact
investigations, CDC has developed
forms to assist health departments and
maritime conveyance operators in
reporting to CDC. The forms are specific
to the nature of the investigation:
Tuberculosis (TB), Measles, Rubella, or
the General form for other diseases of
public health concern. The purpose of
the forms is the same: To collect
information to help CDC quarantine
officials fully understand the extent of
disease spread and transmission during
travel and to inform the development
and/or refinement of investigative
protocols aimed at reducing the spread
of communicable disease.
Respondents are state and local health
departments and maritime conveyance
operators. Respondents may use these
standardized forms to submit data
voluntarily to CDC for each individual
contacted via a secure means of their
choice, e.g., web-based application, fax,
or email.
In the past three years, CDC has used
these forms to investigate TB cases on
aircrafts and on cruise ships, as well as

during measles cases that have occurred
in the U.S. associated with travel.
The respondents are Cruise Ship
Medical Staff/Cargo Ship Managers and
State/local health department staff.
There is no cost to respondents other
than their time to complete the form and
submit the data to CDC.

0920-0900, Expiration 6/30/2018)--Revision--National Center for
Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (NCEZID), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
This is a request for revision to a currently approved information
collection, OMB Control Number 0920-0900, Contact Investigation Outcome
Reporting Forms. CDC requests a three-year approval for contact
investigation outcome reporting information collection tools to
continue the CDC routine contact investigation activities.
To understand which pieces of data are critical to understanding
outcomes, CDC bases all revisions on reassessments of data from the
past three years.
CDC proposes to collect passenger-level, epidemiologic,
demographic, and health status data from state/local Health Departments
and maritime operators at the conclusion of contact investigations of
individuals believed to have had exposure to a communicable disease
during travel. The health departments or maritime operators would
obtain the CDC requested information while conducting the contact
investigation according to their established policies and procedures,
and would report the information to CDC on a voluntary basis. This
information will assist CDC in fulfilling its regulatory responsibility

To address the need to inform CDC of additional actions that may be
