Proposed Projects

1. NIOSH Training Grants, 42 CFR

Part 86, Application And Regulations—

(0920–0261)—Extension—Public Law

91–596 authorizes CDC/NIOSH to

support ‘‘education programs that

provide an adequate supply of qualified

personnel * * * by grants or contracts

‘‘to assure a safe and healthful work

environment. NIOSH awards grants for

both short-term and long-term training

to academic institutions and other

organizations interested in providing

training for professionals. Grants are

also provided to Educational Resource

Centers (ERCs) which provide

multidisciplinary graduate training for

industrial hygienists, occupational

physicians, occupational health nurses,

safety professionals and other

occupational health-related disciplines

in addition to continuing education for

practicing professionals and outreach in

the Region. 42 CFR Part 86, ‘‘Grants for

Education Programs in Occupational

Safety and Health, Subpart BOccupational Safety and Health

Training, provides guidelines for

implementing Public Law 91–596. The

training grant application form is used

by the National Institute of

Occupational Safety and Health to

collect information from potential

applicants. The information is used to

determine the eligibility of applicants

for review, to calculate the amount of

each award and to judge the merit of

each application. CDC Form 2.145A is

used for new and competing

continuation grants; CDC Form 2.145B

is used for non-competing awards. If

this information is not collected, grants

cannot be reviewed and awarded. The

total cost to respondents for the three

year period is $352,500.

2. Foreign Quarantine Regulations—

(0920–0134)—Extension—Section 361

of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act

(42 USC 264) authorizes the Secretary of

Health and Human Services to make

and enforce regulations necessary to

prevent the introduction, transmission,

or spread of communicable diseases

from foreign countries into the United

States. Legislation and the existing

regulations governing quarantine

activities (42 CFR Part 71) authorize

quarantine officers and other personnel

to inspect and undertake necessary

control measures with respect to

conveyances, persons, and shipments of

animals and etiologic agents in order to

protect the public health. Currently,

with the exception of rodent inspections

and the cruise ship sanitation program

inspections are performed only on those

vessels and aircraft which report illness

prior to arrival or when illness is

discovered upon arrival. Other

inspection agencies assist quarantine

officers in public health screening of

persons, pets, and other importations of

public health importance and make

referrals to PHS when indicated. These

practices and procedures assure

protection against the introduction and

spread of communicable diseases into

the United States with a minimum of

recordkeeping and reporting as well as

a minimum of interference with trade

and travel.

Respondents would include airplane

pilots, ships’ captains, importers, and

travelers. The nature of the quarantine

would dictate which forms are

completed by whom. Thus, the

‘‘respondents’’ portion of the

information below is replaced by the

requisite form title. The estimated cost

to the public is $22,200.

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

Office on (404) 639–7090. Send written

comments to CDC, Desk Officer; Human

Resources and Housing Branch, New

Executive Office Building, Room 10235;

Washington, DC 20503. Written

comments should be received within 30

days of this notice.

Proposed Project

1. Emergency Epidemic Investigations

(0920–0008)—Reinstatement—During

most emergency situations, CDC

specialists (epidemiologist,

biostatisticians, laboratory specialists,

etc.) work under the aegis of a State or

local health department. Usually such

investigations are completed by the

State or local government, with

technical assistance from CDC.

Occasionally, an investigation must be

continued or is multistate or global. In

these cases, the CDC collects or

sponsors the collection of information

from the public.

This request, therefore, is for the reinstatement of OMB approval to collect

data in such emergency situations. The

total burden hours are 3,000.
