Proposed Project

    Importation of Etiologic Agents (42 CFR 71.54) (OMB Control No. 
0920-0199, exp. 1/31/2017)--Extension--Office of Public Health 
Preparedness and Response (OPHPR), Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    Section 361 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 264), as 
amended, authorizes the Secretary of Health and Human Services to make 
and enforce such regulations as are necessary to prevent the 
introduction, transmission, or spread of communicable diseases from 
foreign countries into the States or possessions, or from one State or 
possession into any other State or possession. Part 71 of Title 42, 
Code of Federal Regulations (Foreign Quarantine) sets forth provisions 
to prevent the introduction, transmission, and spread of communicable 
disease from foreign countries into the United States. Subpart F--
Importations--contains provisions for the importation of infectious 
biological agents, infectious substances, and vectors (42 CFR 71.54); 
requiring persons that import these materials to obtain a permit issued 
by the CDC.
    CDC requests Office of Management and Budget approval to collect 
information for three years using the Application for Permit to Import 
Biological Agents, Infectious Substances and Vectors of Human Disease 
into the United States and Application for a Permit to Import or 
Transport Live Bats. We are also requesting a title change to read--
Application for Permit to Import Infectious Biological Agents into the 
United States.
    The Application for Permit to Import Biological Agents, Infectious 
Substances and Vectors of Human Disease into the United States form is 
used by laboratory facilities, such as those operated by government 
agencies, universities, and research institutions to request a permit 
for the importation of biological agents, infectious substances, or 
vectors of human disease. This form currently requests applicant and 
sender contact information; description of material for

[[Page 54807]]

importation; facility isolation and containment information; and 
personnel qualifications. CDC plans to make no changes to this 
application.
    The Application for Permit to Import or Transport Live Bats form is 
used by laboratory facilities such as those operated by government 
agencies, universities, research institutions, and for educational, 
exhibition, or scientific purposes to request a permit for the 
importation, and any subsequent distribution after importation, of live 
bats. This form currently requests the applicant and sender contact 
information; a description and intended use of bats to be imported; and 
facility isolation and containment information. CDC plans to make no 
changes to this application.
    Estimates of burden for the survey are based on information 
obtained from the CDC import permit database on the number of permits 
issued on annual basis since 2010. The total estimated burden for the 
one-time data collection is 545 hours. There are no costs to 
respondents except their time.
