Proposed Project
Foreign Quarantine Regulations (OMB No. 0920-0134, expires 7/31/2015)-Revision-National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (NCEZID), Division of Global Migration and Quarantine (DGMQ), 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 specific types of animals and cargo 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 8,162. Of these additional hours, 7,862 pertain to requests for CDC Message Set data via ITDS/ACE, 167 hours pertain to required statements/documentation of products being rendered non-infectious, and 133 hours pertain to a revised estimate of the number of CDC form 75.37 "NOTICE TO OWNERS AND IMPORTERS OF DOGS: Requirement for Dog Confinement required from importers of dogs.
CDC also is providing wholly revised instructions for the Maritime Conveyance Cumulative Influenza/Influenza-Like Illness (ILI) Form and Maritime Conveyance Illness or Death Investigations form. No additional burden is requested for this change, because no increase in complexity of instructions or reporting information is requested.
[top] Finally, CDC has removed burden totals for 42 CFR 71.52 Turtles, Tortoises and Terrapins (reduction of 3 hours from burden total); 42 CFR 71.55 Dead Bodies (reduction of 5 hours from burden total; and 42 CFR 71.56(a)(iii) and (c) Appeal-Appeal the denial of permit for importation of regulated
Respondents to this data collection include airline pilots, ships' captains, importers/filers, and travelers/general public. The nature of the response to CDC dictates which forms are completed by whom. There are two scenarios presented in this information collection request, and therefore two numbers for total number of respondents and two numbers for total burden. In the event of an outbreak of disease of public health significance with widespread use of the PLF occurs, CDC estimates that there will be 2,775,416 total respondents and 235,569 total burden hours. In the more limited use of the PLF, CDC estimates 75,406 total respondents and 10,435 total burden hours. There are no costs to respondents except for their time to complete the response.
