SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 
(PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), Federal agencies must obtain approval from 
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of 
information they conduct or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also requires 
Federal agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal Register 
concerning each proposed collection of information, including each new 
proposed collection, each proposed extension of existing collection of 
information, and each reinstatement of previously approved information 
collection before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To 
comply with this requirement, we are publishing this notice of a 
proposed data collection as described below.
    Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the agency, including whether the information shall have practical 
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; (d) ways to 
minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, 
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other 
forms of information technology; and (e) estimates of capital or start-
up costs and costs of operation, maintenance, and purchase of services 
to provide information. Burden means the total time, effort, or 
financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, 
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This 
includes the time needed to review instructions; to develop, acquire, 
install and utilize technology and systems for the purpose of 
collecting, validating and verifying information, processing and 
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; to 
train personnel and to be able to respond to a collection of 
information, to search data sources, to complete and review the 
collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise disclose the 
information.

Proposed Project

    Restrictions on Interstate Travel of Persons (42 CFR part 70) (OMB 
Control No. 0920-0488 exp. 3/31/2016)--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

    This revision to an existing information collection request is 
intended to ensure that CDC can continue to collect pertinent 
information related to communicable disease or deaths that occur aboard 
conveyances during interstate travel within the United States, as 
authorized under 42 Code of Federal Regulations part 70.
    The intended use of the information is to ensure that CDC can 
assess and respond to reports of communicable disease or death that 
occur on conveyances engaged in interstate travel, and assist state and 
local health authorities if an illness or death occurs that poses a 
risk to public health. Generally, the primary source of this

[[Page 53802]]

information is aircraft traveling within the United States.
    This revision makes several modification to this information 
collection. They are as follows:
     In current practice, CDC does not process applications for 
travel permits. The issuance of travel restrictions is a collaborative 
process between public health partners, e.g., state health departments, 
the Department of Homeland Security, and CDC. There is no standardized 
collection of information involved. This change results in the removal 
of the Ill Person Travel Permit from the list of information 
collections as well as the removal of the associated burden.
     Reports of communicable disease or death from domestic 
conveyances are almost always submitted electronically via radio, so 
the current Master of Vessel or Conveyance Illness Report has been 
rendered obsolete. In addition, CDC has issued guidance stating that 
reports to CDC, instead of local health authorities, regarding domestic 
reports of communicable disease or death on board conveyances meet the 
requirements of the regulation; therefore, information collections 
related to copies sent to state health departments are no longer 
necessary. This primary concerns interstate flights.
     CDC is also requesting an adjustment to the burden 
associated with reports of communicable disease or death from domestic 
conveyances. CDC is reducing the burden from 15 minutes per report to 7 
minutes. This is due to the facilitation of reporting using electronic 
means, i.e., Air Traffic Control and the Domestic Events Network for 
domestic flights.
    The resulting change in burden is a reduction of 3,678 hours.
    For reports of death or communicable disease made by master of a 
vessel or person in charge of a conveyance engaged in interstate 
traffic, the requested burden is approximately 23 hours. This total is 
estimated from 200 respondents submitting domestic reports of death or 
communicable disease a year, with an average burden of 7 minutes per 
report. This totals 23 hours. There is no burden to respondents other 
than the time required to make the report of illness or death.
