Management and Budget (OMB) in compliance with the Paperwork Reduction
Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request a copy of these requests, call
the CDC Reports Clearance Officer at (404) 639-5960 or send an email to
[email protected]. Send written comments to CDC Desk Officer, Office of
Management and Budget, Washington, DC 20503 or by fax to (202) 395-
5806. Written comments should be received within 30 days of this
notice.
Proposed Project
Requirements for the Importation of Nonhuman Primates into the
United States (formerly Requirements for a Special Permit to Import
Cynomolgus, African Green, or Rhesus Monkeys into the United States)
(OMB Control No. 0920-0263 Exp.6/30/2014)--Revision--National Center
Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (NCEZID), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Since May 1990, CDC has monitored the arrival and/or uncrating of
certain shipments of non-human primates imported into the United States
under a special permit program specific to Cynomolgus, African Green,
or Rhesus Monkeys. CDC has monitored compliance with this special
permit through the collection of information focused on determining
whether or not importers conduct adequate disease control practices.
Importers were required to renew their special permit every 180 days.
In February 2013, CDC promulgated two regulations pertaining to the
importation of nonhuman primates. The first rule rule, Requirements for
Importers of Nonhuman Primates (2/15/2013, Vol. 78, No. 32/p. 11522)
consolidates into 42 CFR 71.53 the requirements previously found in 42
CFR part 71.53 with those found in the Special Permit to Import
Cynomolgus, African Green, or Rhesus Monkeys into the United States. It
also extended the time period for registration/permit renewal from 180
days to 2 years. The Special Permit has been withdrawn. The
requirements found therein are now incorporated into the revised final
rule for 42 CFR 71.53. The second rule, Establishment of User Fees for
Filovirus Testing of Nonhuman Primate Liver Samples (2/12/2013, Vol.78,
No. 29, p.9828), outlines a process by which importers can send liver
tissues to CDC from primates that die during importation from reasons
other than trauma. CDC performs these tests due to the absence of a
private sector option. CDC feels these regulatory changes balance the
public health risks posed by the importation of nonhuman primates with
the burden imposed on regulating their importation.
These rule changes have prompted CDC to modify how it administers
the information collected from the public in the enforcement of
nonhuman primate regulations. CDC is requesting the following changes:
1. CDC requests that this information collection request be re-
named ``Requirements for the Importation of Nonhuman Primates into the
United States'' to more accurately reflect the type of information that
is requested from respondents.
2. To streamline administration of this information collection
request, CDC requests that CDC form 75.10A Application for Registration
as an Importer of Nonhuman Primates and the Recordkeeping requirement
currently approved under OMB Control Number 0920-0134 Foreign
Quarantine Regulations, be moved and included in this revision to OMB
Control Number 0920-0263. This action places all nonhuman primate
information collection requirements and requests into one information
collection request administered by CDC.
3. CDC is renaming the different portions of the information
collected in this information collection to more accurately list the
types of forms and documentation CDC collects from importers of
nonhuman primates. Therefore, the former information categories of
Businesses (limited permit), Businesses (extended permit), and
Organizations (extended permit) are being renamed and reorganized. The
information contained in these categories will now be accounted for in
the Documentation sections of the burden table. This categorization
will more accurately reflect CDC's interaction with the importers.
4. CDC also requests additional burden hours to account for
notification to CDC from importers of shipment arrivals and requests
for release from quarantine.
5. CDC further requests the addition of the Filovirus Diagnostic
Specimen Submission Form for Non-human Primate Materials, which will be
used to collect all of the necessary information from nonhuman primate
importers to test nonhuman primate liver samples for filovirus and
communicate the results of this test. This action adds approximately 50
hours of burden to this information collection request.
This information collection involves minimal personally
identifiable information and should have limited impact on an
individual's privacy. There are no costs to respondents other than
their time.
The total burden requested for this information collection is 146.
