SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Screening and Monitoring of 
DoD Personnel Deployed to Ebola Outbreak Areas; DD Form 2990 and DD 
Form 2991; OMB Control Number 0720-0056.
    Needs and Uses: The information collection requirement is necessary 
to ensure DoD personnel deployed in support of Operation UNITED 
ASSISTANCE are promptly evaluated for possible exposure(s) to the Ebola 
virus during deployment to, and within 12 hours prior to departing 
from, an Ebola outbreak country or region. Ebola is a Quarantinable 
Communicable Disease as named in Executive Order 13295 and supported by 
several DoD regulations and Federal laws. This information will be used 
by DoD medical and public health officials to (1) ensure Ebola exposure 
risk is evaluated, (2) proper prevention and quarantine efforts are 
implemented, (3) appropriate medical care is provided, (4) medical 
surveillance programs are robust and (5) the spread of Ebola beyond 
area of concern is minimized. The DoD has consulted with the Centers 
for Disease Control and Prevention, the Department of State, the Agency 
for International Development, and several Defense Agencies regarding 
disease control efforts and health surveillance in response to the 
public health emergency in West Africa and worldwide. DoD has also 
specifically discussed these new information collections with 
representatives of the various Military Services, representing 
deploying military members who have participated in the development of 
the content of these forms.
    Affected Public: Individuals or Households.
    Annual Burden Hours: 480.
    Number of Respondents: 1,200.
    Responses per Respondent: 2.
    Annual Responses: 2400.
    Average Burden per Response: 12 minutes.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Respondents are DoD personnel (active duty service members, federal 
civilian employees and contractors). Using the DD2990 and DD2991, 
information will be collected from respondents during deployment and 
just prior to redeployment (return from deployment). This information 
will provide for health surveillance while deployed, removal from duty 
if representing a health risk to self or others, apprehension and 
detention, or conditional release of individuals to prevent the 
introduction, transmission, or spread of suspected communicable 
diseases, pursuant to section 361(b) of the Public Health Service Act 
(42 U.S.C. 264), UCMJ, DoD Directive 6490.02E, DoD Instruction 6490.03, 
5 CFR 339.301. The information will also be collected in order to 
identify any health concerns and to refer individuals for additional 
assessment and/or care. The overall intent is to protect the health of 
the individual and public from EBV. This information will also be 
included in deployer's medical records.
