Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) publishes a 
list of information collection requests under review by the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) in compliance with the Paperwork Reduction 
Act (44 U.S.C. chapter 35). To request a copy of these requests, call 
the CDC Reports Clearance Officer at (404) 639-7090. Send written 
comments to CDC, Desk Officer; Human Resources and Housing Branch, New 
Executive Office Building, Room 10235; Washington, DC 20503. Written 
comments should be received within 30 days of this notice.
    Proposed Project: Foreign Quarantine Regulations--Extension--OMB 
No. 0920-0134 National Center for Infectious Diseases (NCID), Centers 
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), section 361 of the Public 
Health Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C. 264) authorizes the Secretary of 
Health and Human Services to make and enforce regulations necessary to 
prevent the introduction, transmission, or spread of communicable 
diseases from foreign countries into the United States. Legislation and 
the existing regulations governing quarantine activities (42 CFR part 
71) authorize quarantine officers and other personnel to inspect and 
undertake necessary control measures with respect to conveyances, 
persons, and shipments of animals and etiologic agents in order to 
protect the public health. Currently, with the exception of rodent 
inspections and the cruise ship sanitation program, inspections are 
performed only on those vessels and aircraft which report illness prior 
to arrival or when illness is discovered upon arrival. Other inspection 
agencies assist quarantine officers in public health screening of 
persons, pets, and other importations of public health importance and 
make referrals to PHS when indicated. These practices and procedures 
assure protection against the introduction and spread of communicable 
diseases into the United States with a minimum of recordkeeping and 
reporting as well as a minimum of interference with trade and travel. 
Respondents would include airplane pilots, ships' captains, importers, 
and travelers. The nature of the quarantine response would dictate 
which forms are completed by whom.
