Proposed Project Requirements for the Importation of Nonhuman Primates into the United States (OMB Control No. 0920-0263; Expiration Date 09/30/2017)-- Revision--National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description Under the 42 CFR 71.53, CDC collects information pertaining to importers and imported nonhuman primates. This information collection enables CDC to evaluate compliance with pre-arrival of shipment notification requirements, to investigate the number and species of imported nonhuman primates, and to determine if adequate measures being taken for the prevention of exposure to persons and animals during importation. Since May 1990, CDC has monitored the arrival and/or uncrating of certain shipments of non-human primates imported in to the United States. In February 2013, CDC promulgated two regulations pertaining to the importation of nonhuman primates. The first rule, Establishment of User Fees for Filovirus Testing of Nonhuman Primate Liver Samples, outlines a process by which importers can send liver tissues to CDC from primates that die during importation from reasons other than trauma (78 FR 9828, February 12, 2013). CDC performs these tests due to the absence of a private sector option. The second rule, Requirements for Importers of Nonhuman Primates, consolidates into 42 CFR 71.53 the requirements previously found in 42 CFR 71.53 with those found in the Special Permit to Import Cynomolgus, African Green, or Rhesus Monkeys into the United States (78 FR 11522, February 15, 2013). It also rescinded the six-month special-permit requirements for cynomolgus, African green, and rhesus monkeys and extended the time period for registration/permit renewal from 180 days to 2 years, reducing much of the respondent burden. CDC feels these regulatory changes and reporting requirements balance the public health risks posed by the importation of nonhuman primates with the burden imposed on regulating their importation. Based on the number of registered importers and the number of filovirus samples processed by CDC, CDC is adjusting downward the number of burden hours for the following collections:Recordkeeping and reporting requirements for importing NHPs: Notification of shipment arrival 71.53(n) (no form): Reduction of two hours. Quarantine release 71.53(l) (No form): Reduction of two hours. 71.53(v): Form: Filovirus Diagnostic Specimen Submission Form for Non-human Primate Materials: Reduction of 17 hours. 71.53(g)(1)(iii) and (h) Documentation and Standard Operating Procedures (no form) (Registered Importer): Reduction of one hour. Estimated Annualized Burden Hours All registered importers of non-human primates are required by 42 CFR 71.53 to maintain certain disease control procedures and keep certain records. Standard business practices likely dictate that importers already keep records on the origin, transportation, and disposition of the nonhuman primates. Thus, CDC asks for information which should already be maintained by the importers and need only be assembled and reported. The estimate of burden hours totals 922, [[Page 25291]] which reflects assembling and reporting only. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Number of Average burden Type of respondent Form name/CFR reference Number of responses per per response respondents respondent (in hours) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nonhuman Primate Importer.............
