Proposed Project 2022 Ebola Traveler Follow Up Evaluation—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 (NCEZID), Division of Global Migration and Quarantine (DGMQ) requests approval for a new information collection. Section 361 of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C. 264) authorizes the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) to make and enforce regulations necessary to prevent the introduction, transmission, or PO 00000 Frm 00068 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 spread of communicable diseases from foreign countries into the United States. Under its delegated 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, specifically 42 CFR 71.20—Public health prevention measures to detect communicable disease. This information collection 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 inform CDC and interagency decision makers on state/ local health department activities related to travelers coming from areas affected by an Ebola outbreak originating in Uganda. This information will be used to (1) gather feedback from state and local health department partners on CDC’s interim guidance and post-arrival management of travelers; (2) assess the quality of contact information provided to states by determining the proportion of travelers that state and local health departments were able to contact for recommended assessment and monitoring; and (3) inform the development of future guidance and recommendations for post-arrival traveler management during Ebola outbreaks abroad. 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 through an existing data-sharing infrastructure in place between the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and HHS/CDC and approved in OMB Control No. 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 E:\FR\FM\04NON1.SGM 04NON1 66707 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 213 / Friday, November 4, 2022 / Notices 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. State and local health departments will utilize the contact information provided by CDC to prioritize and identify the level of follow up needed based on the level of risk of exposure to Ebola and determine if additional targeted public health measures are necessary. The purpose of this evaluation will be to gather feedback from state and local health departments regarding traveler monitoring activities and determine the usability of contact information and public health risk assessment information shared by CDC. CDC anticipates certain time and cost burdens to respondents and record keepers due to the requirements and requests OMB approval for an estimated 4,550 annual burden hours. There are no costs to respondents other than their time to participate. ESTIMATED ANNUALIZED BURDEN HOURS Information collection tool Traveler ..........

Proposed Project

    2022 Ebola Traveler Follow Up Evaluation--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 (NCEZID), Division 
of Global Migration and Quarantine (DGMQ) requests approval for a new 
information collection. Section 361 of the Public Health Service (PHS) 
Act (42 U.S.C. 264) authorizes the Secretary of Health and Human 
Services (HHS) 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 
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, specifically 42 CFR 71.20--Public health 
prevention measures to detect communicable disease.
    This information collection 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 inform CDC and 
interagency decision makers on state/local health department activities 
related to travelers coming from areas affected by an Ebola outbreak 
originating in Uganda. This information will be used to (1) gather 
feedback from state and local health department partners on CDC's 
interim guidance and post-arrival management of travelers; (2) assess 
the quality of contact information provided to states by determining 
the proportion of travelers that state and local health departments 
were able to contact for recommended assessment and monitoring; and (3) 
inform the development of future guidance and recommendations for post-
arrival traveler management during Ebola outbreaks abroad.
    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 through an existing data-sharing 
infrastructure in place between the United States Department of 
Homeland Security (DHS) and HHS/CDC and approved in OMB Control No. 
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

[[Page 66707]]

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. State and local health departments will utilize the contact 
information provided by CDC to prioritize and identify the level of 
follow up needed based on the level of risk of exposure to Ebola and 
determine if additional targeted public health measures are necessary. 
The purpose of this evaluation will be to gather feedback from state 
and local health departments regarding traveler monitoring activities 
and determine the usability of contact information and public health 
risk assessment information shared by CDC.
    CDC anticipates certain time and cost burdens to respondents and 
record keepers due to the requirements and requests OMB approval for an 
estimated 4,550 annual burden hours. There are no costs to respondents 
other than their time to participate.
