Section 361 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 264) authorizes the Secretary of the Department 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, or from one State or possession into any other State or possession. Regulations that implement Federal quarantine authority are currently promulgated in 42 CFR parts 70 and 71. Part 71 contains regulations to prevent the introduction, transmission, and spread of communicable diseases into the States and possessions of the United States, while part 70 contains regulations to prevent the introduction, transmission, or spread of communicable diseases from one State into another. Passenger and crew manifests contain certain information for travelers on an aircraft and are generally collected from airlines when a communicable disease is confirmed after the air travel has been completed. Manifests include locating and contact information, as well as information concerning where passengers sat while aboard the aircraft. The specific list of data elements included in the domestic manifest order is: • Full name (last, first, and, if available, middle or others); • Date of birth; • Sex; • Country of residence; • If a passport is required; passport number, passport country of issuance, and passport expiration date; • If a travel document, other than a passport is required, travel document type, travel document number, travel document country of issuance and travel document expiration date; • Address while in the United States (number and street, city, State, and zip code), except that U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents will provide address of permanent residence in the U.S. (number and street, city, State, and zip code; as applicable); • Primary contact phone number to include country code; • Secondary contact phone number to include country code; • Email address; • Airline name; • Flight number; • City of departure; • Departure date and time; • City of arrival; • Arrival date and time; and • Seat number for all passengers CDC also requests seat configuration for the requested contact area (example: AB/aisle/CDE/aisle/FG, bulkhead in front of row 9), identification on the manifest of the crew and what zone crew were assigned to, the identification of any babies-in-arms, and finally CDC requests the total number of passengers on board if measles is the cause of the investigation, due to the highly infectious nature of the disease. CDC then uses this passenger and crew manifest information to coordinate with State and local health departments so they can follow up with residents who live or are currently located in their jurisdiction. In most cases, the manifests are issued for air travel, and State and local health departments or IHR NFPs are responsible for the contact investigations; airlines may take responsibility for the follow-up of crew members. In rare cases, CDC may use the manifest data to perform the contact investigation directly. CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 3,240 annual burden hours. There are no costs to respondents other than their time to participate.
