Proposed Project
Restriction on Interstate Travel of Persons (OMB Control No. 0920-
0488 Exp. 3/31/2013)--Revision--National Center Emerging and Zoonotic
Infectious Diseases (NCEZID), Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is requesting OMB
approval to extend the information collection request, ``Restriction on
Interstate Travel of Persons'' (OMB Control No. 0920-0488).
This information collection request is scheduled to expire on March
31, 2013. CDC is authorized to collect this information under 42 CFR
70.5 (Certain communicable diseases; special requirements). This
regulation requires that any person who is in the communicable period
for cholera, plague, smallpox, typhus, or yellow fever or having been
exposed to any such disease is in the incubation period thereof, to
apply for and receive a permit from the Surgeon General or his
authorized representative in order to travel from one State or
possession to another.
Control of disease transmission within the States is considered to
be the province of state and local health authorities, with Federal
assistance being sought by those authorities on a cooperative basis
without application of Federal regulations. The regulations in 42 Part
70 were developed to facilitate Federal action in the event of large
outbreaks requiring a coordinated effort involving several states, or
in the event of inadequate local control. While it is not known
whether, or to what extent situations may arise in which these
regulations would be invoked, contingency planning for domestic
emergency preparedness is now commonplace. Should these situations
arise, CDC will use the reporting and recordkeeping requirements
contained in the regulations to carry out quarantine responsibilities
as required by law.
There is no cost to respondents other than their time.
