• What other cognitive abilities or 

other cognitive competencies are 

needed? 

• What gaps exist between what 

miners are required to do for self-escape 

and their capabilities? 

• How can self-escape be improved 

by redesigning, eliminating, or 

modifying tasks or training, or by 

altering or introducing specific 

technologies/tools? 

To answer these questions, we will 

use a task analysis study design that 

utilizes a multiple-method approach, to 

include (a) review of available research, 

(b) interviews and focus group meetings 

with participants, and (c) unobtrusive 

observation (e.g., of drills). During 

interviews and focus groups, targeted 

questions are asked to elicit the level 

and type of desired information. This 

system of collecting information is 

‘‘active’’ in that participants are 

presented stimuli (e.g., disaster 

scenarios, worker roles) and asked 

directly to provide their perceptions 

(e.g., of tasks or cognitive requirements 

needed to accomplish self-escape in that 

disaster). Observation checklists have 

been developed to capture relevant 

information during the unobtrusive 

naturalistic observations of self-escape 

drills. These data are then organized, 

collated, and re-presented to 

participants for confirmation of 

accuracy. Recommendations are 

generated based on study findings, 

related research and practices, and 

logical inference. 

Participants will be mining personnel 

drawn from two operating coal mines, 

one large and one smaller mine, to 

represent the variety within the 

industry. The data collection schedule 

(e.g., timing and duration of interviews 

and focus groups) will be modified as 

needed to minimize disruption to mine 

operations. Up to 30 miner volunteers 

will participate in the study. Minimal 

time (< 5 minutes each) will be spent in 

recruitment and obtaining informed 

consent. 

Semi-structured interviews with mine 

personnel will require 1.5–2 hours of 

their time depending on the interview. 

Each of the two focus groups (the Initial 

Focus Group and the HTA) will require 

approximately 12 hours of a 

participant’s time total. However, a 

given focus group will be executed in 

smaller blocks of time to reduce the 

burden on participants. Participants in 

the Initial Focus Group are not required 

to participate in the HTA Focus Group. 

Observation of drills will occur as 

part of normal mine operations and will 

not result in any additional burden on 

the respondents. 

The total estimated burden hours are 

207.

Criteria for Requesting Federal Travel 

Restrictions for Public Health 

Purposes, Including for Viral 

Hemorrhagic Fevers 

AGENCY: Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC), Department of Health 

and Human Services (HHS). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Centers for Disease 

Control and Prevention (CDC) in the 

Department of Health and Human 

Services (HHS) is publishing this Notice 

to inform the public of the criteria CDC 

considers for requesting federal travel 

restrictions for public health purposes, 

including for use of the Do Not Board 

(DNB) list and Public Health Border 

Lookout records. Individuals with 

communicable diseases that pose a 

public health threat to travelers can be 

placed on this list to restrict them from 

boarding commercial aircraft arriving 

into, departing from, or traveling within 

the United States. This notice further 

describes the factors that HHS/CDC will 

consider in evaluating whether to 

request that an individual who may 

have been exposed to a hemorrhagic 

fever virus be placed on the DNB list, 

which is administered by the 

Department of Homeland Security 

(DHS). It also contains information for 

individuals who have been placed on 

this list to respond to this decision in 

writing, if they believe the decision was 

made in error. This notice is effective 

immediately. 

DATES: This notice is effective on March 

27, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

Individuals with communicable 

diseases who travel on commercial 

aircraft can pose a risk for infection to 

the traveling public. In June 2007, HHS/ 

CDC and DHS developed a public health 

DNB list, enabling domestic and 

international public health officials to 

request that individuals with 

communicable diseases who meet 

specific criteria, including having a 

communicable disease that poses a 

public health threat to the traveling 

public, be restricted from boarding 

commercial aircraft arriving into, 

departing from, or traveling within the 

United States.1 The public health DNB 

list, administered by DHS and based on 

HHS/CDC’s requests, is intended to 

supplement state and/or local public 

health measures to prevent individuals 

who are infectious, or reasonably 

believed to have been exposed to a 

communicable disease and may become 

infectious, from boarding commercial 

aircraft. Use of the list is limited to 

those communicable diseases that 

would pose a public health threat to 

travelers should the infected individual 

be permitted to board a flight. Once an 

individual is placed on the DNB list, 

airlines are instructed not to issue a 

boarding pass to the individual for any 

commercial domestic flight or for any 

commercial international flight arriving 

in or departing from the United States. 

An individual is typically removed from 

the DNB upon receipt by HHS/CDC of 

the treating physician’s or public health 

authority’s statement (or other medical 

documentation) that the individual is no 

longer considered infectious, or lapse of 

the period that the individual is at risk 

of becoming infectious without 

development of symptoms. 

Individuals included on the DNB list 

are assigned a Public Health Border 

Lookout (‘‘Lookout’’) record that assists 

in ensuring that an individual placed on 

the DNB is detected if he or she 

attempts to enter or depart the United 

States through a port of entry. When this 

happens, officials from U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection (CBP), a 

component agency of DHS, notify HHS/ 

CDC so that a thorough public health 

inquiry and evaluation can be 

conducted and appropriate public 

health action taken, as needed. 

Requests for an individual to be 

placed on the public health DNB list 

with an associated Lookout record 

happen through a number of means, 

including: State or local public health 

officials contact the CDC Quarantine 

Station of jurisdiction, health-care 

providers make requests by contacting 

their state or local public health 

departments, and foreign and U.S. 

government agencies contact the CDC’s 

Emergency Operations Center (EOC) in 

Atlanta. HHS/CDC may also request that 

DHS place an individual on the public 

health DNB and Lookout lists if HHS/

CDC becomes independently aware of 

an individual who meets the placement 

criteria.2

HHS/CDC has refined the criteria that 

it initially considered, as published in 

the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly 

Report (MMWR) in 2008, and this notice 

describes the criteria CDC currently 

considers when making requests to DHS 

to include an individual on the DNB list 

and associated Lookout record. If an 

individual satisfies the first criteria and 

any of the three other criteria, then he/ 

she may qualify to be placed on the list. 

Currently, HHS/CDC considers whether: 

(1) The individual is known or 

reasonably believed to be infectious or 

reasonably believed to have been 

exposed to a communicable disease and 

may become infectious with a 

communicable disease that would be a 

public health threat should the 

individual be permitted to board a 

commercial aircraft or travel in a 

manner that would expose the public;
