Proposed Project

    Restrictions on Interstate Travel of Persons (OMB Control No. 0920-
0488)--Extension--National Center for Preparedness, Detection, and 
Control of Infectious Diseases (NCPDCID), Centers for Disease Control 
and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is requesting OMB 
approval to extend the information collection request, Restrictions on 
Interstate Travel of Persons (OMB Control No. 0920-0488). This 
information collection request is scheduled to expire on February 28, 
2010.
    CDC is authorized to collect this information under 42 CFR 70.5 
(Certain communicable diseases; special requirements). This regulation 
requires that any person who is in the communicable period for cholera, 
plague, smallpox, typhus, or yellow fever or having been exposed to any 
such disease is in the incubation period thereof, to apply for and 
receive a permit from the Surgeon General or his authorized 
representative in order to travel from one State or possession to 
another.
    Control of disease transmission within the States is considered to 
be the province of State and local health authorities, with Federal 
assistance being sought by those authorities on a cooperative basis 
without application of Federal regulations. The regulations in 42 Part 
70 were developed to facilitate Federal action in the event of large 
outbreaks requiring a coordinated effort involving several states, or 
in the event of inadequate local control. While it is not known 
whether, or to what extent situations may arise in which these 
regulations would be invoked, contingency planning for domestic 
emergency preparedness is now commonplace. Should these situations 
arise, CDC will use the reporting and recordkeeping requirements 
contained in the regulations to carry out quarantine responsibilities 
as required by law.
    The only cost to respondents is their time to submit the 
application materials. The estimated annualized burden for this data 
collection is 3,601 hours.
