Proposed Project
Foreign Quarantine Regulations (42 CFR part 71), (OMB Control No. 0920-0134, Expiration Date 9/30/2017)-Revision - National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infections Diseases (NCEZID), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The purpose of this information collection proposal is to request a revision of a currently approved data collection "Foreign Quarantine Regulations" that expires September 30, 2017. This revision is an effort to provide greater clarity surrounding paperwork requirements and focuses exclusively on certain information collections within OMB Control No. 0920-0134 pertaining to importation of dogs into the United States. Specifically, CDC seeks to make the following changes:
• CDC is asking to correct a transcription error in the burden tables in section 12. Currently, the relevant IC reads: 71.51(b)(2) Dogs/cats: Certification of Confinement, Vaccination (CDC form 75.37). It should have been: 71.51(c)(2) Dogs: Certification of Confinement, Vaccination (CDC form 75.37).
• CDC is also proposing to replace the CDC form 75.37 NOTICE TO OWNERS AND IMPORTERS OF DOGS: Requirement for Dog Confinement with a new Application For Permission To Import A Dog Unimmunized Against Rabies, which, if the importer meets the criteria for importation, will be followed by a CDC-completed Permit to Conditionally Import a Dog Inadequately Immunized against Rabies-Single Entry.
• CDC is also requesting approval to change and split the current information collection (IC) "71.51(c)(2) Dogs/cats: Certification of Confinement, Vaccination (CDC form 75.37)" into two separate ICs.
• CDC will include one modified IC: "71.51(c)(2), (d) Application For Permission To Import A Dog Unimmunized Against Rabies". This will include a reduced estimate of the numbers of these permits, formerly CDC form 75.37 NOTICE TO OWNERS AND IMPORTERS OF DOGS: Requirement for Dog Confinement, issued each year.
[top] • CDC will include a separate IC pertaining to 71.51(c)(1), (d). The title for this IC is Valid Rabies Vaccination Certificate, which will include only the burden associated with rabies vaccination certificates.
• CDC is also including an information collection for 71.51(c)(i), (ii), and (iii) which provides exemption criteria for the importation of a dog without a rabies vaccination certificate.
CDC is not requesting changes to any of the other information collections included under OMB control number 0920-0134 Foreign Quarantine Regulations.
CDC is providing two estimates of the total annualized burden of this information collection request, because CDC needs the flexibility to use the PLF in a widespread manner during an outbreak of public health significance. The first total, 307,546 burden hours, is the total estimated burden to respondents per year with the use of the Passenger Locator Form used in an outbreak of public health significance. The second total, 82,613 burden hours, includes the more limited use of the PLF. It is more likely that the average annual burden for reporting and recordkeeping will be the second total.
