Proposed Project
2022 Ebola Airport Entry
Questionnaires—New—National Center
for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious
Diseases (NCEZID), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), National Center for
Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious
Diseases, Division of Global Migration
and Quarantine (DGMQ) recently had a
New Emergency Information Collection
Request (ICR) approved for 2022 Ebola
Airport Entry Questionnaires (OMB
Control No. 0920–1375).
Section 361 of the Public Health
Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C. 264)
(Attachment A1) authorizes the
Secretary of Health and Human Services
to make and enforce regulations
necessary to prevent the introduction,
transmission or spread of communicable
diseases from foreign countries into the
United States. Under its delegated
E:\FR\FM\21OCN1.SGM
21OCN1
64048
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 203 / Friday, October 21, 2022 / Notices
authority, DGMQ works to fulfill this
responsibility through a variety of
activities, including the operation of
Quarantine Stations at ports of entry
and administration of foreign quarantine
regulations; 42 Code of Federal
Regulation part 71 (Attachment A2),
specifically 42 CFR 71.20 Public health
prevention measures to detect
communicable disease. This ICR
concerns CDC’s statutory and regulatory
authority related to conducting public
health screening of travelers upon
arrival to the United States and
assessing individual travelers for public
health risk following a report of illness
from a conveyance.
The purpose of this information
collection is to determine the public
health risk that travelers from areas
affected by the 2022 outbreak of Ebola
originating in Uganda may pose. This
information will be used to: (1)
determine if travelers have symptoms
consistent with Ebola and should be
isolated and medically evaluated upon
arrival in the US; and (2) assist state and
local health departments with
understanding which travelers from the
region may be at higher risk of becoming
ill with Ebola and should be prioritized
for taking certain public health
protection measures, such as
quarantine.
CDC collects international travelers’
contact information under authorities in
the Interim Final Rule: Control of
Communicable Diseases: Foreign
Quarantine and CDC’s Order
Requirement for Airlines and Operators
to Collect and Transmit Designated
Information for Passengers and Crew
Arriving Into the United States;
Requirement for Passengers to Provide
Designated Information. Traveler
contact information is sent to CDC
though an existing data-sharing
infrastructure in place between the
United States Department of Homeland
Security (DHS) and HHS/CDC and
approved in OMB Control 0920–1354.
Contact information for travelers who
have been to an area affected by the
outbreak during the 21 days prior to
arrival will be confirmed at the port of
entry. CDC will share contact
information for these travelers with state
and local health departments so that
exposure to the Ebola virus to determine
if the traveler is high-risk.
The CDC staff member doing the
initial Ebola screening will escort the
traveler to the new area of the airport for
further public health risk assessment
questions by other staff members of
CDC. They will indicate the reason the
traveler is being referred for further
public health risk assessment to the new
CDC staff member. Any person who is
visibly ill or reports signs or symptoms,
or has an elevated temperature
measurement, will undergo an illness
investigation using the Air Travel Illness
or Death Investigation or Traveler
Follow up Form that is currently
approved under OMB Control No. 0920–
1318. Staff will take necessary
precautions to prevent possible
exposures by any ill travelers, such as
wearing appropriate personal protective
equipment during any illness
investigation.
During the CDC public health risk
assessment, CDC will ask more detailed
questions about possible exposures,
such as symptoms, whether they were
exposed to a person with Ebola, and the
nature of contact (e.g., provided direct
healthcare). Depending on their
symptoms and how they answer, CDC
may refer the person for medical care.
If CDC staff identify any travelers with
high-risk exposures, management will
be coordinated directly with the health
departments of jurisdiction for both the
airport where traveler is located and
their final destination. Issuance of
public health orders under federal or
state authorities may also be considered.
Any information from these public
health risk assessments, as well as
information related to an illness
investigation will be recorded in CDC’s
Quarantine Activity Reporting System,
which is covered by the System of
Records Notice 09–20–0171,
Quarantine-and Traveler-Related
Activities.
CDC anticipates certain time and cost
burdens to respondents and record
keepers due to the requirements and
requests OMB approval for an estimated
6,260 burden hours. There is no cost to
respondents other than their time.
they can do possible public health
follow up, including public health
assessment of exposure risk and
monitoring for Ebola symptoms, and
education to travelers. These public
health interventions will help state and
local health departments determine the
appropriate level of follow-up needed
based on the traveler’s level of risk, and
rapidly identify any travelers with
symptoms that may need to be
prioritized for more targeted public
health measures, such as quarantine,
due to a higher risk of exposure to
Ebola.
To implement the 2022 Ebola Entry
Questionnaire information collection,
CDC will first require all travelers from
designated areas affected by the 2022
outbreak of Ebola originating in Uganda,
to undergo an initial Ebola screening to
determine if CDC needs to do further
public health risk assessment or illness
response at the airport. DHS will refer
travelers that have been to designated
areas to another location of the airport
where CDC will ask initial Ebola
screening questions. DHS will also
provide the contact information they
have received to CDC electronically as
part of the information collection under
OMB Control No. 0920–1354. CDC will
escort travelers to the area of the initial
Ebola screening and confirm with the
traveler that the contact information on
file is correct. CDC will inform DHS if
there are any necessary corrections
needed to the contact information.
In this initial Ebola screening setting,
CDC will ask basic questions about signs
or symptoms of illness (e.g., fever, or
vomiting, or diarrhea, etc.) or possible
exposure (e.g., contact with a person
sick with Ebola, attendance at a funeral,
etc.) as well as observe travelers to
determine if the traveler is experiencing
any overt signs and symptoms of disease
and measure their temperature with a
noncontact thermometer. If a traveler
answers ‘‘Yes’’ to any of these initial
screening questions, is visibly ill, or has
a fever, the traveler will then be referred
to another area of the airport for a public
health risk assessment by CDC. The
public health risk assessment will help
CDC investigate further to determine if
the traveler could be sick with Ebola or
to get more information about a possible

social and other health hazards; and
determinants of health of the population
of the United States. The Division of
Health and Nutrition Examination
Surveys (DHNES) has conducted
national surveys and related projects
periodically between 1970 and 1994,
and continuously since 1999. The
mission of DHNES programs is to
produce descriptive statistics which
measure the health and nutrition status
of the general population. The
continuous operation of DHNES
programs presents unique challenges in
testing new survey content and
activities, such as outreach or
participant screening etc.

Proposed Project
2022 Ebola Airport Entry Questionnaires--New--National Center for
Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (NCEZID), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National
Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases, Division of
Global Migration and Quarantine (DGMQ) recently had a New Emergency
Information Collection Request (ICR) approved for 2022 Ebola Airport
Entry Questionnaires (OMB Control No. 0920-1375).
Section 361 of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C. 264)
(Attachment A1) authorizes the Secretary of Health and Human Services
to make and enforce regulations necessary to prevent the introduction,
transmission or spread of communicable diseases from foreign countries
into the United States. Under its delegated
[[Page 64048]]
authority, DGMQ works to fulfill this responsibility through a variety
of activities, including the operation of Quarantine Stations at ports
of entry and administration of foreign quarantine regulations; 42 Code
of Federal Regulation part 71 (Attachment A2), specifically 42 CFR
71.20 Public health prevention measures to detect communicable disease.
This ICR concerns CDC's statutory and regulatory authority related to
conducting public health screening of travelers upon arrival to the
United States and assessing individual travelers for public health risk
following a report of illness from a conveyance.
The purpose of this information collection is to determine the
public health risk that travelers from areas affected by the 2022
outbreak of Ebola originating in Uganda may pose. This information will
be used to: (1) determine if travelers have symptoms consistent with
Ebola and should be isolated and medically evaluated upon arrival in
the US; and (2) assist state and local health departments with
understanding which travelers from the region may be at higher risk of
becoming ill with Ebola and should be prioritized for taking certain
public health protection measures, such as quarantine.
CDC collects international travelers' contact information under
authorities in the Interim Final Rule: Control of Communicable
Diseases: Foreign Quarantine and CDC's Order Requirement for Airlines
and Operators to Collect and Transmit Designated Information for
Passengers and Crew Arriving Into the United States; Requirement for
Passengers to Provide Designated Information. Traveler contact
information is sent to CDC though an existing data-sharing
infrastructure in place between the United States Department of
Homeland Security (DHS) and HHS/CDC and approved in OMB Control 0920-
1354. Contact information for travelers who have been to an area
affected by the outbreak during the 21 days prior to arrival will be
confirmed at the port of entry. CDC will share contact information for
these travelers with state and local health departments so that they
can do possible public health follow up, including public health
assessment of exposure risk and monitoring for Ebola symptoms, and
education to travelers. These public health interventions will help
state and local health departments determine the appropriate level of
follow-up needed based on the traveler's level of risk, and rapidly
identify any travelers with symptoms that may need to be prioritized
for more targeted public health measures, such as quarantine, due to a
higher risk of exposure to Ebola.
To implement the 2022 Ebola Entry Questionnaire information
collection, CDC will first require all travelers from designated areas
affected by the 2022 outbreak of Ebola originating in Uganda, to
undergo an initial Ebola screening to determine if CDC needs to do
further public health risk assessment or illness response at the
airport. DHS will refer travelers that have been to designated areas to
another location of the airport where CDC will ask initial Ebola
screening questions. DHS will also provide the contact information they
have received to CDC electronically as part of the information
collection under OMB Control No. 0920-1354. CDC will escort travelers
to the area of the initial Ebola screening and confirm with the
traveler that the contact information on file is correct. CDC will
inform DHS if there are any necessary corrections needed to the contact
information.
In this initial Ebola screening setting, CDC will ask basic
questions about signs or symptoms of illness (e.g., fever, or vomiting,
or diarrhea, etc.) or possible exposure (e.g., contact with a person
sick with Ebola, attendance at a funeral, etc.) as well as observe
travelers to determine if the traveler is experiencing any overt signs
and symptoms of disease and measure their temperature with a noncontact
thermometer. If a traveler answers ``Yes'' to any of these initial
screening questions, is visibly ill, or has a fever, the traveler will
then be referred to another area of the airport for a public health
risk assessment by CDC. The public health risk assessment will help CDC
investigate further to determine if the traveler could be sick with
Ebola or to get more information about a possible exposure to the Ebola
virus to determine if the traveler is high-risk.
The CDC staff member doing the initial Ebola screening will escort
the traveler to the new area of the airport for further public health
risk assessment questions by other staff members of CDC. They will
indicate the reason the traveler is being referred for further public
health risk assessment to the new CDC staff member. Any person who is
visibly ill or reports signs or symptoms, or has an elevated
temperature measurement, will undergo an illness investigation using
the Air Travel Illness or Death Investigation or Traveler Follow up
Form that is currently approved under OMB Control No. 0920-1318. Staff
will take necessary precautions to prevent possible exposures by any
ill travelers, such as wearing appropriate personal protective
equipment during any illness investigation.
During the CDC public health risk assessment, CDC will ask more
detailed questions about possible exposures, such as symptoms, whether
they were exposed to a person with Ebola, and the nature of contact
(e.g., provided direct healthcare). Depending on their symptoms and how
they answer, CDC may refer the person for medical care. If CDC staff
identify any travelers with high-risk exposures, management will be
coordinated directly with the health departments of jurisdiction for
both the airport where traveler is located and their final destination.
Issuance of public health orders under federal or state authorities may
also be considered. Any information from these public health risk
assessments, as well as information related to an illness investigation
will be recorded in CDC's Quarantine Activity Reporting System, which
is covered by the System of Records Notice 09-20-0171, Quarantine-and
Traveler-Related Activities.
CDC anticipates certain time and cost burdens to respondents and
record keepers due to the requirements and requests OMB approval for an
estimated 6,260 burden hours. There is no cost to respondents other
than their time.
