Control and Prevention (CDC), as part of
its continuing effort to reduce public
burden and maximize the utility of
government information, invites the
general public and other Federal
agencies the opportunity to comment on
a proposed and/or continuing
information collection, as required by
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
This notice invites comment on a
proposed information collection project
titled Airline and Traveler Information
Collection: Domestic Manifests and the
Passenger Locator Form that enables
CDC to collect contact information and
facilitate public health follow-up of atrisk travelers in the event a sick person
is confirmed on board an aircraft.
DATES: CDC must receive written
comments on or before January 3, 2020.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments,
identified by Docket No. CDC–2019–
0100 by any of the following methods:

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
Airline and Traveler Information
Collection: Domestic Manifests and the
Passenger Locator Form (OMB Control
No. 0920–1181, Exp. 05/31/2020)—
Revision—Division of Global Migration
and Quarantine (DGMQ), National
Center for Emerging Zoonotic and
Infectious Diseases (NCEZID), Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Stopping a communicable disease
outbreak—whether it is naturally
PO 00000
Frm 00030
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
occurring or intentionally caused—
requires the use of the most rapid and
effective public health tools available.
Basic public health practices, such as
collaborating with airlines in the
identification and notification of
potentially exposed contacts, are critical
tools in the fight against the
introduction, transmission, and spread
of communicable diseases in the United
States.
The collection of timely, accurate, and
complete contact information enables
Quarantine Public Health Officers in
CDC’s Division of Global Migration and
Quarantine (DGMQ) to notify state and
local health departments in order for
them to make contact with individuals
who may have been exposed to a
contagious person during travel and
identify appropriate next steps. In order
to collect this contact information, (i.e.,
a manifest), CDC is seeking approval for
domestic airline and traveler
information orders under current
authorities in 42 Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) 70.10. This activity is
already current practice.
CDC also requests continued approval
to use the Passenger Locator Form (PLF)
for the collection of traveler information
from individuals on domestic flights
and international flights under 42 CFR
70.10 and 42 CFR 71.20, respectively.
The PLF, a form developed by the
International Civil Aviation
Organization (ICAO) in concert with its
international member states and other
aviation organizations, is used when
there is a confirmation or strong
suspicion that an individual(s) aboard a
flight is infected with or exposed to a
communicable disease that is a threat to
co-travelers, and CDC is made aware of
the individual(s) prior to arrival in the
United States. This prior awareness can
provide CDC with an opportunity to
collect traveler contact information
directly from the traveler prior to
departure from the arrival airport.
CDC estimates that for each set of
airline and traveler information ordered,
airlines require approximately six hours
to review the order, search their records,
and send those records to CDC. CDC
anticipates that travelers will need
approximately five minutes to complete
the PLF. There is no cost to respondents
other than their time perform these
actions. For manifest information, CDC
does not have a specified format for
these submissions, only that it is one
acceptable to both CDC and the
respondent.
