Section 361 of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C. 264) authorizes the Secretary 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. Under its delegated authority, DGMH 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 Marburg outbreak originating in Rwanda. 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 Marburg 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 though an existing data-sharing infrastructure in place between the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and HHS/CDC and approved for in OMB Control Number 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 Marburg symptoms, and education to travelers. These public health interventions will help state and local health departments determine the appropriate level of follow needed based on the traveler’s level of risk and rapidly identify any travelers with symptoms that could which travelers may need to be prioritized for more targeted public health measures, such as quarantine, due to a higher risk of exposure to Marburg. CDC is currently sharing contact information and public health assessment of exposure risk to Marburg for travelers with state and local health departments through existing datasharing infrastructure. State and local health departments 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 Marburg and determine additional if additional targeted public health measures are necessary. State/local health department partners are contacting travelers in order to determine if they are symptomatic and require additional screening for possible Marburg infection. 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. A one-time survey at the end of the response will collect information related to resources needed by health department for this response.

State and local health departments 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 Marburg and determine 
additional if additional targeted public health measures are necessary. 
State/local health department partners are contacting travelers in 
order to determine if they are symptomatic and require additional 
screening for possible Marburg infection. 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. A one-time survey at the end of the response 
will collect information related to resources needed by health 
department for this response.
    CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 630 annual burden hours.
