details about the child’s exposure,
pregnancy, and breastfeeding history.
For purposes of time burden estimation,
ATSDR assumes that 20 percent of
parents (n=140 per year) will also enroll
as adults and can take the child short
form questionnaire; therefore, 560
parents will take the child long form
questionnaire per year. Parents and
children, with administration by trained
professionals, will also complete
neurobehavioral assessments of the
child’s attention and behaviors (n=700
per year). The time burden for
responding to questionnaires is 1,482
hours, and for neurobehavioral
assessments is 1,225, per year.
To facilitate access to medical and
school records, each recipient will reach
out to local medical societies, public
school systems, and private schools, to
enlist their cooperation with the study.
The recipient will ask for permission to
verify participants’ medical conditions
to confirm self-reported health
outcomes. The recipient will also seek
permission to obtain information from
the children’s school records to
supplements their behavioral
assessment results. Based on ATSDR’s
experience from the Pease Study (OMB
Control No. 0923–0061; Discontinued
08/31/2022), ATSDR estimates that it
will take 30 school administrators, 48
education specialists, 70 medical office
administrators, and 150 adult and 50
pediatric medical record specialists to
complete health condition and school
information verification and
abstractions across all study sites. The
annual time burden for medical and
educational record abstraction is
estimated to be 2,506 hours.
The total annualized time burden
requested is 8,149 hours. There is no
cost to the respondents other than their
time.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Proclamation 10294 of October 25, 2021,
suspended, subject to certain
exceptions, the entry of nonimmigrant
noncitizens into the United States by air
travel without full vaccination for
COVID–19. Section 4 of the
Proclamation directed CDC to
implement the Proclamation as it
applies to public health. Pursuant to
that direction, CDC issued an order on
October 30, 2021, and an amended order
on April 4, 2022, implementing the
Proclamation.
On May 9, 2023, the President issued
a Proclamation revoking Proclamation
10294’s vaccination requirement for
noncitizen nonimmigrants entering the
United States by air travel, effective at
12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time on May
12, 2023. The Proclamation explained
that, considering progress in public
health and based on the latest guidance
from public health experts, international
air travel restrictions imposed in
October 2021 were no longer necessary.

Pursuant to the May 9, 2023,
Proclamation, and the President’s
revocation of the vaccination
requirements contained in Proclamation
10294, CDC has reviewed its Amended
Order Implementing Presidential
Proclamation on Safe Resumption of
Global Travel During the COVID–19
Pandemic and has determined that
termination of this Amended Order is
warranted. CDC’s Amended Order,
which implemented Proclamation
10294’s vaccination requirements, is
terminated and no longer remains in
effect as of 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight
time on May 12, 2023.
This means that as of 12:01 a.m.
eastern daylight time on May 12, 2023,
noncitizen, nonimmigrant air
passengers no longer need to show proof
of being fully vaccinated with an
accepted COVID–19 vaccine to board a

Proposed Data Collection Submitted
for Public Comment and
Recommendations
Centers for Disease Control and

ACTION: Notice with comment period.

The Centers for Disease

its continuing effort to reduce public
burden and maximize the utility of
lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
SUMMARY:
1 This Notice, like CDC’s April 2022 Amended
Order that no longer will be in effect as of 12:01
a.m. eastern daylight time on May 12, is not a
substantive rule within the meaning of the
Administrative Procedure Act (APA) because it
implements the President’s revocation of the
vaccination requirements contained in the October
2021 Proclamation (which in turn was the basis for
the CDC’s Amended Order). In any event, the APA’s
requirement of a 30-day delay in the effective date
of certain ‘‘substantive rule[s],’’ 5 U.S.C. 553(d),
would not apply to this notice, as this notice
‘‘relieves a restriction’’ contained in the Amended
Order, id. Section 553(d)(1). Independently, were
the APA applicable, CDC finds good cause for its
termination of the April 2022 Amended Order to
take effect at 12:01 a.m. on May 12, 2023, which
coincides with the end of the COVID–19 public
health emergency, given the latest public health
conditions and the latest guidance from public
health experts. See 5 U.S.C. 553(b), (d).

Extraction Industry. This information
collection is designed to evaluate oil
and gas extraction workers’ noise and
chemical exposures and hearing.
DATES: CDC must receive written
comments on or before July 11, 2023.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments,
identified by Docket No. CDC–2023–
0036 by either of the following methods:

Georgia 30329.
Instructions: All submissions received
must include the agency name and
Docket Number. CDC will post, without
change, all relevant comments to
www.regulations.gov.
Please note: Submit all comments
through the Federal eRulemaking portal
(www.regulations.gov) or by U.S. mail to

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.
Proposed Project
Noise Exposures and Hearing Loss in
the Oil and Gas Extraction Industry—
New—National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Oil and gas extraction (OGE) workers
play an important role in supporting the
United States economy and help fulfill
the energy needs of Americans and
American businesses. OGE workers
have significant risks for a variety of
exposures at oil and gas well sites, and
there has been no significant
occupational noise exposure research in
the United States onshore upstream
OGE sector. This proposed project will
characterize relationships between noise
exposure, chemical exposures, hearing
loss, and hearing loss prevention
practices within the onshore OGE
industry.
Primary data will be collected using
three approaches. First, researchers will
collect direct measurements of noise
and ototoxic chemicals on job sites,
including personal exposure
assessments of OGE workers. Second,
researchers will use a questionnaire to
collect information on noise and
chemical exposures, hearing loss, and
associated factors among OGE workers.
Third, audiometry tests performed by
NIOSH will be offered to industry
partners to further understand extent of
hearing loss amongst OGE workers.
Data will be used to understand noise
exposures, ototoxic chemical exposures,
self-reported hearing loss, and hearing
loss prevention practices in the OGE
industry. Subsequently, the data and
