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 Contact Investigation Outcome
Reporting Forms. The project includes
the contact investigation outcome
reporting forms used to obtain data from
State, local, and territorial public health
professionals or conveyance operators
and medical professionals on their
contact tracing efforts to better assess
the risk to individuals who may have
been exposed to a confirmed case of a
communicable disease of public health
concern while traveling to or within the
United States.
DATES: CDC must receive written
comments on or before August 5, 2024.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments,
identified by Docket No. CDC–2024–
0045 by either of the following methods:
• Federal eRulemaking Portal:
www.regulations.gov. Follow the
instructions for submitting comments.
• Mail: Jeffrey M. Zirger, Information
Collection Review Office, Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention, 1600
Clifton Road NE, MS H21–8, Atlanta,

Instructions: All submissions received
must include the agency name and
Docket Number. CDC will post, without
change, all relevant comments 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.

Background and Brief Description
This proposed information collection
project includes the contact
investigation outcome reporting
information collection tools used by
CDC to better assess the risk to interstate
and arriving international travelers who
may have been exposed to a confirmed
case of a communicable disease of
public health concern while traveling.
Different forms are tailored for different
diseases of public health concern that
are tracked by the Division of Global
Migration Health (DGMH/CDC). The
information will be used to assist and
collaborate with State, local, and
territorial health departments,
conveyance operators, air, maritime,
and land port of entry partners, and
international public health authorities
to identify potential exposures and to
determine the risk of infection, and
whether future public health
interventions are needed.
Methods used to collect the
information are basic surveys of
respondents that record information
about the exposed traveler’s location
and activities on air or maritime
conveyances or land border crossing,
other potential exposures, signs/
symptoms that may have occurred after
their potential exposure, prior history of
vaccination or disease, and other
medical conditions that could influence
the risk of infection or severity of
illness.
Due to the COVID–19 pandemic, CDC
modified how cruise ships report
information on cases of influenza-likeillness. Since December 2023, CDC has
been using a new surveillance system
for cumulative acute respiratory illness
(ARI) reporting (under OMB Control
Number 0920–1335), which includes
cases of influenza, COVID–19, and
respiratory syncytial virus. One form
(the Influenza Outbreak Enhanced Data
Collection Form) is not used routinely
now; however, this form may be used in
limited circumstances in the future. The
burden of outcome reporting forms has
been adjusted based on more recent
numbers, which notably excludes
COVID–19 numbers because we are no
longer requiring contact investigations
for COVID–19 and thus these are lower
than past estimates. This applies
primarily to the General Contact
Investigation Outcome Reporting Form.
Other burden estimates have been
adjusted to reflect current estimates
reflecting 2021–2023 numbers.
CDC requests OMB approval for an
estimated 50 annual burden hours.
