Proposed Project
Quarantine Station Illness Response Forms: Airline, Maritime, and
Land/Border Crossing (OMB Control No. 0920-0821; expires 04/30/2016)--
Revision--Division of Global Migration and Quarantine, National Center
for Emerging Zoonotic and Infectious Diseases, Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
CDC is requesting approval for a revision to this existing
information collection with the intent of ensuring that CDC can
continue and improve the collection of pertinent information related to
communicable disease or deaths that occur aboard conveyances during
travel within the United States and into the United States from a
foreign country, as authorized under 42 Code of Federal Regulations
part 70 and 71, respectively.
Concerning routine operations, CDC is adjusting its estimates of
respondents and burden associated with the use of the Air Travel,
Maritime Conveyance, and Land Travel Illness or Death Investigation
forms.
CDC is requesting an increase in the number of respondents
to the Air Travel Illness or Death Investigation form, from 1,626
respondents to 1,800. This results in an additional 14 hours of burden
per year.
CDC is requesting fewer respondents to the Maritime
Conveyance Illness or Death Investigation Form, from 1,873 to 750
reports. This results in a decrease of 93 hours.
CDC is requesting a decrease in the number of respondents
to the Land Travel Illness or Death Investigation form, from 259
respondents to 100. This results in a decrease of 14 hours.
Also included are changes to account for the end of the entry risk
assessment program for travelers entering the United States from the
formerly Ebola affected countries. Responses to the United States
Travelers Health Declaration and the Ebola Entry Risk Assessment Forms,
including the Ill Traveler version, are no longer required for these
travelers; therefore, CDC is requesting to remove these forms from this
information collection. The changes are as follows:
CDC is requesting the removal of 49,238 respondents to the
United States Travel Health Declaration (English: Hard Copy, fillable
PDF, electronic portal), resulting in a decrease of 12,310 burden
hours.
CDC is requesting the removal of 1,586 respondents to the
United States Travel Health Declaration (French translation guide),
with a decrease 397 burden hours.
CDC is requesting the removal of 176 respondents for the
United States Travel Health Declaration (Arabic translation guide),
with a decrease of 44 burden hours.
The changes for the Ebola Risk Assessment Form are as follows:
CDC is requesting the removal of 3,447 respondents to the
Ebola Risk Assessment Form (English hard copy), and an associated
decrease of 862 burden hours.
CDC is requesting the removal of 111 respondents to the
Ebola Risk Assessment French translation guide and a decrease of 28
burden hours.
CDC is requesting the removal of 13 respondents to the
Ebola Risk Assessment Arabic translation guide, and 3 fewer burden
hours.
CDC is requesting the removal of the Ebola Entry Screening
Risk Assessment (Ill Traveler Interview), which decreases the number of
respondents by 100 and the burden by 25 hours.
CDC is no longer requesting the use of this version of the IVR Active
Monitoring Survey. Therefore, the following changes are requested:
CDC is requesting the removal of 49,238 respondents to the
IVR Active Monitoring Survey (English: Recorded), with 68,933 fewer
burden hours.
CDC is requesting the removal of 1,586 respondents to the
IVR Active Monitoring Survey (French: Recorded) with a decrease of
2,220 hours of burden.
CDC is requesting the removal of 176 respondents to the IVR
Active Monitoring: Arabic translation assistance (no script), with a
decrease of 246 burden hours.
These adjustments and changes result in a decrease of 85,161 burden
hours.
CDC requests a total of 2,650 respondents and 221 burden hours
annually. The respondents to these information collections are
travelers and ship medical personnel. There is no cost to respondents
other than the time required to provide the information requested.
