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) 639-5960 or send an email to 
[email protected]. Send written comments to CDC Desk Officer, Office of 
Management and Budget, Washington, DC 20503 or by fax to (202) 395-
5806. Written comments should be received within 30 days of this 
notice.

Proposed Project

    Requirements for the Importation of Nonhuman Primates into the 
United States (formerly Requirements for a Special Permit to Import 
Cynomolgus, African Green, or Rhesus Monkeys into the United States) 
(OMB Control No. 0920-0263 Exp.6/30/2014)--Revision--National Center 
Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (NCEZID), Centers for Disease 
Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    Since May 1990, CDC has monitored the arrival and/or uncrating of 
certain shipments of non-human primates imported into the United States 
under a special permit program specific to Cynomolgus, African Green, 
or Rhesus Monkeys. CDC has monitored compliance with this special 
permit through the collection of information focused on determining 
whether or not importers conduct adequate disease control practices. 
Importers were required to renew their special permit every 180 days.
    In February 2013, CDC promulgated two regulations pertaining to the 
importation of nonhuman primates. The first rule rule, Requirements for 
Importers of Nonhuman Primates (2/15/2013, Vol. 78, No. 32/p. 11522) 
consolidates into 42 CFR 71.53 the requirements previously found in 42 
CFR part 71.53 with those found in the Special Permit to Import 
Cynomolgus, African Green, or Rhesus Monkeys into the United States. It 
also extended the time period for registration/permit renewal from 180 
days to 2 years. The Special Permit has been withdrawn. The 
requirements found therein are now incorporated into the revised final 
rule for 42 CFR 71.53. The second rule, Establishment of User Fees for 
Filovirus Testing of Nonhuman Primate Liver Samples (2/12/2013, Vol.78, 
No. 29, p.9828), outlines a process by which importers can send liver 
tissues to CDC from primates that die during importation from reasons 
other than trauma. CDC performs these tests due to the absence of a 
private sector option. CDC feels these regulatory changes balance the 
public health risks posed by the importation of nonhuman primates with 
the burden imposed on regulating their importation.
    These rule changes have prompted CDC to modify how it administers 
the information collected from the public in the enforcement of 
nonhuman primate regulations. CDC is requesting the following changes:
    1. CDC requests that this information collection request be re-
named ``Requirements for the Importation of Nonhuman Primates into the 
United States'' to more accurately reflect the type of information that 
is requested from respondents.
    2. To streamline administration of this information collection 
request, CDC requests that CDC form 75.10A Application for Registration 
as an Importer of Nonhuman Primates and the Recordkeeping requirement 
currently approved under OMB Control Number 0920-0134 Foreign 
Quarantine Regulations, be moved and included in this revision to OMB 
Control Number 0920-0263. This action places all nonhuman primate 
information collection requirements and requests into one information 
collection request administered by CDC.
    3. CDC is renaming the different portions of the information 
collected in this information collection to more accurately list the 
types of forms and documentation CDC collects from importers of 
nonhuman primates. Therefore, the former information categories of 
Businesses (limited permit), Businesses (extended permit), and 
Organizations (extended permit) are being renamed and reorganized. The 
information contained in these categories will now be accounted for in 
the Documentation sections of the burden table. This categorization 
will more accurately reflect CDC's interaction with the importers.
    4. CDC also requests additional burden hours to account for 
notification to CDC from importers of shipment arrivals and requests 
for release from quarantine.
    5. CDC further requests the addition of the Filovirus Diagnostic 
Specimen Submission Form for Non-human Primate Materials, which will be 
used to collect all of the necessary information from nonhuman primate 
importers to test nonhuman primate liver samples for filovirus and 
communicate the results of this test. This action adds approximately 50 
hours of burden to this information collection request.
    This information collection involves minimal personally 
identifiable information and should have limited impact on an 
individual's privacy. There are no costs to respondents other than 
their time.
    The total burden requested for this information collection is 146.
