Background and Brief Description

    CDC is submitting this revision to obtain authority to collect 
electronic information from importers/filers on nonhuman primate and 
nonhuman primate products over which CDC has authority, notably those 
found in 42 CFR part 71. This request is consistent with requirements 
of the Security and Accountability for Every (SAFE) Port Act that 
states that all agencies that require documentation for clearing or 
licensing the importation and exportation of cargo participate in the 
International Trade Data System (ITDS), and is also consistent with CDC 
authorities under Section 361 of the Public Health Service Act (PHSA) 
(42 U.S.C. 264).
    This electronic data is specified by CDC using Partner Government 
Agency (PGA) Message Sets and is collected by Customs and Border 
Protection (CBP) from importers/filers when they submit the information 
needed through International Trade Data System ITDS and the Automated 
Commercial Environment (ITDS/ACE) to clear an import. CDC has developed 
a PGA message set for each regulated import specified in 42 CFR part 
71, and each PGA Message Set includes only those data requirements 
necessary in order to determine whether or not a CDC-regulated import 
poses a risk to public health and that the importer has met CDC's 
regulatory requirements for entry. CDC included the PGA Message Sets 
for review because there is no set form or format for the electronic 
submission of import related data to CBP and CDC. CDC is permitted 
access to the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) data pursuant to 6 
CFR 29.8(b) and 49 CFR 1520.11(b), which permit federal employees with 
a need to know to have access to this data.
    CDC is maintaining its authority to collect hard copies of required 
documentation, as currently authorized by the Office of Management and 
Budget, because the use of ITDS/ACE will not be required for imports 
entering the United States until a later date. CDC will accept both 
hard copy and electronic filing of import-related documentation until 
the use of ACE is required for cargo entering the United States.
    Through this revision, CDC is requesting a net increase in the 
estimated number of burden hours in the amount of 798 hours. Of these 
additional hours, 608 hours pertain to requests for CDC Message Set 
data via ITDS/ACE, and 190 hours pertain to required statements/
documentation of products being rendered non-infectious.
    CDC is maintaining its authority to collect hard copies of required 
documentation, as currently authorized by the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB), because the use of ITDS/ACE will not be required for 
imports entering the United States until a later date. CDC will accept 
both hard copy and electronic filing of import-related documentation 
until the use of ACE is required for cargo entering the United States.
    Respondents to this data collection have not changed and remain new 
and registered importers of live nonhuman primates and importers of 
nonhuman primate products. The number of additional hours requested for 
this information collection total 798 hours. The total burden for this 
information collection request is 943 hours. There are no costs to 
respondents except for their time to complete the forms, and complete 
and submit data and documentation.

                                                            Estimated Annualized Burden Hours
