brief eligibility screener will be used to
determine eligibility for participation in
the participant survey. All persons
surveyed will also be offered a token of
appreciation in the amount of $25. No
other federal agency systematically
collects this type of information from
persons attending safe spaces. These
data may inform prevention program
development and monitoring at both the
local and national levels.
CDC estimates that this data
collection will involve, eligibility
screening for 1,250 persons, and a
participant survey for 1,000 eligible
respondents at 10 CBOs, annually. At
each CBO, two staff members will be
interviewed about their perceptions of
safe spaces, totaling 20 staff interviews.
CDC requests OMB approval for an
estimated 384 annual burden hours.
Participation of respondents is
voluntary and there is no cost to the
respondents other than their time.

ACTION: Notice with comment period.
AGENCY:
The Centers for Disease
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 Requirements for Negative PreDeparture COVID–19 Test Result or
Documentation of Recovery from
COVID–19 for all Airline or Other
Aircraft Passengers Traveling to the
United States from the People’s
Republic of China (PRC). This data
collection is created to protect the U.S.
population from potential importation,
transmission, and spread of new
COVID–19 variants into the United
States from the PRC.

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;
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; and
5. Assess information collection costs.

Background and Brief Description
COVID–19 is surging in the People’s
Republic of China (PRC) because of

Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 11 / Wednesday, January 18, 2023 / Notices
recent decisions to remove mitigation
measures. The population in the PRC
has not had extensive exposure to the
virus that causes COVID–19 and,
therefore, has not developed immune
protection through prior infection. The
recent surge in COVID–19 transmission,
particularly in a large population such
as the PRC, increases the potential for
new variants to emerge that could be
introduced to the United States.
Considering the potential danger to
public health posed by emerging new
variants in the PRC, CDC has
determined that proactive, preventative
measures must be implemented now to
protect the U.S. population from
potential importation, transmission, and
spread of new COVID–19 variants into
the United States.
Pursuant to 42 CFR 71.20 and 71.31(b)
and as set forth in greater detail below,
this Notice and associated CDC Order
will prohibit the boarding of any
passenger two years of age or older on
an itinerary that includes the United
States, on:
• any aircraft departing from the PRC,
b. A positive viral test result for
SARS–CoV–2 conducted on a specimen
collected 10 or fewer calendar days
before the flight’s departure AND a
signed letter from a licensed healthcare
provider or public health official stating
that the passenger’s COVID–19
symptoms began more than 10 calendar
days before the flight’s departure.
CDC may grant a humanitarian
exception in very limited circumstances
only when an individual must travel to
the United States to preserve health
(e.g., emergency medical evacuations,
life-saving medical treatment) or safety
(e.g., violence) and pre-departure testing
cannot be accessed or completed before
travel because of exigent circumstances.
Air passengers will also be required to
provide an attestation, attesting that the
information they present is true.
CDC requests OMB approval for an
estimated 5,208,373 annual burden
hours. There is no cost to respondents
other than their time to participate.

• any aircraft departing from a
Designated Airport if the passenger
within the ten (10) days prior to their
departure for the United States has been

presents paper or digital documentation
of one of the following requirements or
meets a limited exception:
1. A negative pre-departure viral test
result for SARS–CoV–2 conducted on a
specimen collected no more than two
(2) calendar days before the flight’s
departure from the PRC (Qualifying
Test)
OR
2. Documentation of having recovered
from COVID–19 in the past 90 days in
