point has been used for monitoring the 

impact of Core SIPP. 

Monitoring the impact of populationbased strategies and identifying new 

insights and innovative solutions to 

health problems are two of the noted 

public health activities that all public 

health systems should undertake. For 

NCIPC, these objectives cannot be 

satisfied without the systematic 

collection of data and information from 

state health departments. The 

information collection will enable the 

accurate, reliable, uniform, and timely 

submission to NCIPC of each awardee’s 

progress report and injury indicators, 

including strategies and performance 

measures. The information collection 

plan proposed here will also generate a 

variety of routine and customizable 

reports. State-specific reports will allow 

each awardee to summarize activities 

and progress towards meeting strategies 

and performance measure targets related 

to the reduction and prevention of 

unintentional and intentional injuries. 

NCIPC will also have the capacity to 

generate reports that describe activities 

and health outcomes across multiple 

recipients, which will enable better 

reporting of trends and provision of 

technical assistance through linking 

partners across state health departments 

and collaborating divisions within CDC. 

The information collection and 

reporting requirements have been 

carefully designed to align with and 

support the specific goals and outcomes 

outlined in the Core SIPP cooperative 

agreement. The overarching goal of Core 

SIPP is to strengthen the awardee’s 

injury prevention programs and policies 

and demonstrate impact in the 

reduction of injury-related morbidity 

and mortality. Although the data are 

limited to the 26 recipients of the Core 

SIPP NOFO, the results can be 

generalizable and inform injury 

prevention work. Moreover, it is 

steadfastly asserted that the results of 

the data collection are vital to ensuring 

the Core SIPPs efficient management. 

Results will not only allow NCIPC staff 

to provide data-driven technical 

assistance to recipients, but also to 

assess patterns across other NCIPC 

injury prevention programs such as, 

Prescription Drug Overdose Prevention 

for States and the Injury Control 

Research Centers. In addition, the data 

collection will inform the continuous 

quality improvement process and allow 

NCIPC staff to make mid-course 

corrections and describe the impact on 

health outcomes. The information 

collection procedures allow NCIPC to 

respond to inquiries from the HHS, the 

White House, Congress and other 

stakeholders about program activities 

and their impact; as well as, work 

towards CDCs overarching mission to 

protect America from health, safety and 

security threats, both foreign and in the 

U.S. 

Program recipients use the 

information collected to manage and 

coordinate their activities and to 

improve their efforts to prevent and 

control injuries. The Partners’ Portal 

allows recipients to fulfill their annual 

reporting obligations efficiently by 

employing user-friendly, easily 

accessible web-based instruments to 

collect necessary information for both 

progress reports and continuation 

applications including work plans. This 

approach enables recipients to save 

pertinent information from one 

reporting period to the next and reduces 

the administrative burden on the annual 

continuation application and the 

performance monitoring process. 

Awardee program staff are able to 

review the completeness of data needed 

to generate required reports, enter basic 

summary data for reports annually, and 

finalize and save required reports for 

upload into other reporting systems as 

required. 

CDC requests OMB approval for an 

estimated 286 annual burden hours. 

There are no costs to respondents other 

than their time to participate.

Proposed Project 

2024 Marburg Traveler Symptom 

Monitoring and Feedback—New— 

National Center for Emerging and 

Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (NCEZID), 

Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

The Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC), National Center for 

Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious 

Diseases (NCEZID), Division of Global 

Migration Health (DGMH) requests an 

Emergency approval for a New 

information collection. Section 361 of 

the Public Health Service (PHS) Act (42 

U.S.C. 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. Under its delegated authority, 

DGMH works to fulfill this 

responsibility through a variety of 

activities, including the operation of 

Port Health Stations at ports of entry 

and administration of foreign quarantine 

regulations; 42 Code of Federal 

Regulation part 71 (specifically 42 CFR 

71.20), public health prevention 

measures to detect communicable 

disease. This information collection 

concerns CDC’s responsibility to ensure 

the successful implementation of 

traveler monitoring to prevent the 

transmission or spread of communicable 

diseases into the United States. 

On February 21, 2020, CDC issued an 

interim final rule (IFR) to amend its 

Foreign Quarantine regulations, to 

enable CDC to require airlines to collect, 

and provide to CDC, certain data 

regarding passengers and crew arriving 

from foreign countries for the purposes 

of health education, treatment, 

prophylaxis, or other appropriate public 

health interventions, including travel 

restrictions. CDC’s authority for 

collecting data for travelers arriving in 

the United States is contained in 42 CFR 

71. Under this IFR, airlines must 

transmit these data to CDC within 24 

hours of an order. The order 

Requirement for Airlines and Operators 

to Collect and Transmit Designated 

Information for Passengers and Crew 

Arriving into the United States; 

Requirement for Passengers to Provide 

Designated Information requiring the 

collection of this information was 

issued on October 25, 2021 and went 

into effect on November 8, 2021. Under 

this order, airlines may transmit the 

required information using the existing 

data-sharing infrastructure in place 

between the United States Department 

of Homeland Security (DHS) and HHS/ 

CDC or they must retain the information 

for a minimum of 30 days and transmit 

it to CDC within 24 hours upon request. 

This information collection for contact 

information is already approved under 

OMB Control No. 0920–1354. 

In September 2024, an outbreak of 

Marburg virus was detected in the 

Republic of Rwanda. DHS has 

instructed airlines to redirect flights 

carrying persons who have recently 

traveled from or were otherwise present 

within Rwanda to land at designated 

U.S. airports. CDC is conducting public 

health entry screening at these 

designated U.S. airports of travelers 

coming from Rwanda. The purpose of 

public health entry screening is to 

detect ill travelers or travelers arriving 

from regions affected by the outbreak 

who are at risk of becoming ill with 

Marburg to facilitate post-arrival 

management. This information 

collection has been approved under 

OMB Control Number 0920–1443. 

CDC will utilize information collected 

during public health entry screening 

(approved under OMB Control Number 

0920–1443) to determine which 

travelers should be monitored for 

Marburg symptoms in accordance with 

CDC’s interim recommendations for 

post-arrival public health management 

of travelers from Rwanda. Monitoring of 

travelers will be done via text message 

and web survey and will take place over 

a period of 21 days from the traveler’s 

last documented Marburg exposure. 

Text messages and web survey will be 

available in English and with an 

additional translated Kinyarwanda 

version. The information collected will 

allow CDC to identify the level of follow 

up necessary based on the level of risk 

of exposure to Marburg and determine 

if additional risk assessment and/or 

targeted public health measures are 

needed. Information collected from 

travelers during symptom monitoring 

will be shared with state and local 

health departments through existing 

secure data-sharing infrastructure. This 

information collection is necessary to 

facilitate post-arrival public health 

management of travelers as specified in 

CDC interim recommendations for 

management of U.S.-based healthcare 

personnel who have been in Rwanda 

and interim recommendations for postarrival public health management of 

travelers from Rwanda. At the end of the 

21-day monitoring period, CDC will 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 232 / Tuesday, December 3, 2024 / Notices 95797 

send a final survey to travelers intended 

to evaluate the impact of rerouting and 

public health entry screening on 

travelers. The results of this final survey 

will allow CDC to identify the most 

efficient channels for reaching travelers 

and refine public health messaging for 

travelers coming from the outbreak area. 

CDC requests OMB approval for an 

estimated 2,833 annual burden hours. 

There is no cost to respondents other 

than their time to participate.
