Proposed Project

    Foreign Quarantine Regulations (42 CFR part 71), (OMB Control No. 
0920-0134, Expiration Date 9/30/2017)--Revision -- National Center for 
Emerging and Zoonotic Infections Diseases (NCEZID), Centers for Disease 
Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The purpose of this information collection proposal is to request a 
revision of a currently approved data collection ``Foreign Quarantine 
Regulations'' that expires September 30, 2017. This revision is an 
effort to provide greater clarity surrounding paperwork requirements 
and focuses exclusively on certain information collections within OMB 
Control No. 0920-0134 pertaining to importation of dogs into the United 
States. Specifically, CDC seeks to make the following changes:
     CDC is asking to correct a transcription error in the 
burden tables in section 12. Currently, the relevant IC reads: 
71.51(b)(2) Dogs/cats: Certification of Confinement, Vaccination (CDC 
form 75.37). It should have been: 71.51(c)(2) Dogs: Certification of 
Confinement, Vaccination (CDC form 75.37).
     CDC is also proposing to replace the CDC form 75.37 NOTICE 
TO OWNERS AND IMPORTERS OF DOGS: Requirement for Dog Confinement with a 
new Application For Permission To Import A Dog Unimmunized Against 
Rabies, which, if the importer meets the criteria for importation, will 
be followed by a CDC-completed Permit to Conditionally Import a Dog 
Inadequately Immunized against Rabies--Single Entry.
     CDC is also requesting approval to change and split the 
current information collection (IC) ``71.51(c)(2) Dogs/cats: 
Certification of Confinement, Vaccination (CDC form 75.37)'' into two 
separate ICs.
     CDC will include one modified IC: ``71.51(c)(2), (d) 
Application For Permission To Import A Dog Unimmunized Against 
Rabies''. This will include a reduced estimate of the numbers of these 
permits, formerly CDC form 75.37 NOTICE TO OWNERS AND IMPORTERS OF 
DOGS: Requirement for Dog Confinement, issued each year.
     CDC will include a separate IC pertaining to 71.51(c)(1), 
(d). The title for this IC is Valid Rabies Vaccination Certificate, 
which will include only the burden associated with rabies vaccination 
certificates.

[[Page 59780]]

     CDC is also including an information collection for 
71.51(c)(i), (ii), and (iii) which provides exemption criteria for the 
importation of a dog without a rabies vaccination certificate.
    CDC is not requesting changes to any of the other information 
collections included under OMB control number 0920-0134 Foreign 
Quarantine Regulations.
    CDC is providing two estimates of the total annualized burden of 
this information collection request, because CDC needs the flexibility 
to use the PLF in a widespread manner during an outbreak of public 
health significance. The first total, 307,546 burden hours, is the 
total estimated burden to respondents per year with the use of the 
Passenger Locator Form used in an outbreak of public health 
significance. The second total, 82,613 burden hours, includes the more 
limited use of the PLF. It is more likely that the average annual 
burden for reporting and recordkeeping will be the second total.
