Proposed Project
Requirements for the Importation of Nonhuman Primates into the
United States--Revision--(expiration date: 4/30/2016)--National Center
for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (NCEZID), Division of
Global Migration and Quarantine (DGMQ),
[[Page 33926]]
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
CDC is submitting this revision to obtain authority to collect
electronic information from importers/filers on nonhuman primate and
nonhuman primate products over which CDC has authority, notably those
found in 42 CFR part 71. This request is consistent with requirements
of the Security and Accountability for Every (SAFE) Port Act that
states that all agencies that require documentation for clearing or
licensing the importation and exportation of cargo participate in the
International Trade Data System (ITDS), and is also consistent with CDC
authorities under Section 361 of the Public Health Service Act (PHSA)
(42 U.S.C. 264).
This electronic data is specified by CDC using Partner Government
Agency (PGA) Message Sets and is collected by Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) from importers/filers when they submit the information
needed through International Trade Data System (ITDS) and the Automated
Commercial Environment (ITDS/ACE) to clear an import. CDC has developed
a PGA message set for each regulated import specified in 42 CFR part
71, and each PGA Message Set includes only those data requirements
necessary in order to determine whether or not a CDC-regulated import
poses a risk to public health and that the importer has met CDC's
regulatory requirements for entry. CDC including the PGA Message Sets
for review because there is no set form or format for the electronic
submission of import related data to CBP and CDC. CDC is permitted
access to the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) data pursuant to 6
CFR 29.8(b) and 49 CFR 1520.11(b), which permit federal employees with
a need to know to have access to this data.
CDC is maintaining its authority to collect hard copies of required
documentation, as currently authorized by the Office of Management and
Budget, because the use of ITDS/ACE will not be required for imports
entering the United States until a later date. CDC will accept both
hard copy and electronic filing of import-related documentation until
the use of ACE is required for cargo entering the United States.
Through this revision, CDC is requesting a net increase in the
estimated number of burden hours in the amount of 798 hours. Of these
additional hours, 608 hours pertain to requests for CDC Message Set
data via ITDS/ACE, and 190 hours pertain to required statements/
documentation of products being rendered non-infectious.
Because the use of ITDS/ACE will not be required for imports
entering the United States until a later date, CDC is maintaining its
authority to collect hard copies of required documentation, as
currently authorized by the Office of Management and Budget. CDC will
accept both hard copy and electronic filing of import-related
documentation until the use of ACE is required for cargo entering the
United States.
Respondents to this data collection have not changed and remain new
and registered importers of live nonhuman primates and importers of
nonhuman primate products. The number of additional hours requested for
this information collection total 798 hours. The total burden for this
information collection request is 944 hours. There are no costs to
respondents except for their time to complete the forms, and complete
and submit data and documentation.
