Inapplicability of Notice and Delayed
Effective Date
This amendment involves a foreign
affairs function of the United States and

or public procedure (5 U.S.C. 553(a)(1)).
For the same reason, a delayed effective
date is not required under 5 U.S.C.
553(d)(3).

Because no notice of proposed
rulemaking is required, the provisions
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5
U.S.C. 601 et seq.) do not apply.
Executive Orders 12866 and 13771
CBP has determined that this
document is not a regulation or rule
subject to the provisions of Executive
Order 12866 or Executive Order 13771
because it pertains to a foreign affairs
function of the United States, as
described above, and therefore is
specifically exempted by section 3(d)(2)
of Executive Order 12866 and section
4(a) of Executive Order 13771.
Signing Authority
This regulation is being issued in
accordance with 19 CFR 0.1(a)(1)

Background
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) is closely monitoring
an outbreak of respiratory illness caused
by a novel (new) coronavirus first
identified in Wuhan City, Hubei
Province, China. Coronaviruses are a
large family of viruses that are common
in many different species of animals,
including camels, cattle, cats, and bats.
Rarely, animal coronaviruses can infect
people and then spread between people
such as with Middle East Respiratory
Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute
Respiratory Syndrome (SARS).
The potential for widespread
transmission of this virus by infected
individuals seeking to enter the United
States threatens the security of our
transportation system and
infrastructure, and the national security.
In an abundance of caution and to assist
in preventing the introduction and
spread of this communicable disease in
the United States, DHS, in coordination
with the CDC and other Federal, state
and local agencies charged with
protecting the American public, is
implementing enhanced arrival
protocols to ensure that all travelers
with recent travel from the People’s
Republic of China are provided public
health services. Entry screening is part
of a layered approach used with other
public health measures already in place
to detect arriving travelers who are
exhibiting overt signs of illness,
reporting of ill travelers by air carriers
during travel, and referral of ill travelers
arriving at a U.S. port of entry by U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to
appropriate public health officials to
slow and prevent the spread of
communicable disease into the United
States.
To ensure that travelers with recent
travel from the People’s Republic of
China are screened, DHS directs that all
flights to the United States carrying
persons who have recently traveled
from, or were otherwise present within,
the People’s Republic of China arrive at
airports where enhanced public health
services and protocols are being
implemented. While DHS anticipates
working with air carriers to identify
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 250001
potential persons from the affected area
prior to boarding, air carriers shall
comply with the requirements of this
document.
On Friday, January 31, 2020, DHS
posted a document on the Federal
Register public inspection page,
announcing the DHS Secretary’s
decision that arrival restrictions would
go into effect at 5 p.m. EST on Sunday,
February 2, 2020 at seven airports. This
document adds four additional airports
to the list of airports where flights can
land and describes when the arrival
restrictions will include those airports.
DHS notes that implementation of the
arrival restrictions in this document and
in the January 31, 2020 document may
entail technical and logistical
difficulties for airlines. We are confident
that all airlines will make every effort to
comply. DHS is appreciative of good
faith attempts at compliance by airlines.
