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; PO 00000 Frm 00112 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 2.

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.

Proposed Project Contact Investigation Outcome Reporting Forms (OMB Control No. 0920–0900 Exp. 05/31/2021)— Revision—National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (NCEZID), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description 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 been exposed to a communicable disease during travel. The information requested by CDC would be obtained by the health departments or maritime operators while conducting the contact investigation according to their established policies and procedures, and would be reported 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 E:\FR\FM\08MRN1.SGM 08MRN1 13391 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 43 / Monday, March 8, 2021 / Notices operators with information to notify and contact individuals and further investigate this exposure by contacting others who may have been potentially exposed 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 back to CDC. The forms are specific to the nature of the investigation; Tuberculosis (TB), Measles, and Rubella, or the General form to for other diseases of public health concern. The purpose of the forms is the same: to collect information to help CDC quarantine officials to 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). Additional respondents are Cruise Ship Medical Staff/Cargo Ship Managers and State/local health department staff.

Background and Brief Description

    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 been exposed to a communicable disease 
during travel. The information requested by CDC would be obtained by 
the health departments or maritime operators while conducting the 
contact investigation according to their established policies and 
procedures, and would be reported 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

operators with information to notify and contact individuals and 
further investigate this exposure by contacting others who may have 
been potentially exposed 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 back to CDC. The forms are specific to the

quarantine officials to 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

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.
