information collection, as required by 

the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. 

This notice invites comment on a

Reporting Forms, a collection that 

facilitates CDC working with state and 

local health departments in conducting 

contact investigations of individuals 

exposed to a communicable illness 

during travel. 

DATES: CDC must receive written 

comments on or before December 12, 

2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) 

(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal agencies 

must obtain approval from the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for each 

collection of information they conduct 

or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also 

requires Federal agencies to provide a 

60-day notice in the Federal Register 

concerning each proposed collection of 

information, including each new 

proposed collection, each proposed 

extension of existing collection of 

information, and each reinstatement of 

previously approved information 

collection before submitting the 

collection to the OMB for approval. To 

comply with this requirement, we are 

publishing this notice of a proposed 

data collection as described below. 

The OMB is particularly interested in 

comments that will help: 

1. Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

2. Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

3. Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

4. Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submissions 

of responses. 

5. Assess information collection costs. 

Proposed Project 

Contact Investigation Outcome 

Reporting Forms (OMB Control Number 

0920–0900, Expiration 6/30/2018)— 

Revision—National Center for Emerging 

and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases 

(NCEZID), Centers for Disease Control 

and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

This is a request for revision to a 

currently approved information 

collection, OMB Control Number 0920– 

0900, Contact Investigation Outcome 

Reporting Forms. CDC requests a threeyear approval for contact investigation 

outcome reporting information 

collection tools to continue the CDC 

routine contact investigation activities. 

To understand which pieces of data 

are critical to understanding outcomes, 

CDC bases all revisions on 

reassessments of data from the past 

three years. 

CDC proposes to collect passengerlevel, epidemiologic, demographic, and 

health status data from state/local 

Health Departments and maritime 

operators at the conclusion of contact 

investigations of individuals believed to 

have had exposure to a communicable 

disease during travel. The health 

departments or maritime operators 

would obtain the CDC requested 

information while conducting the 

contact investigation according to their 

established policies and procedures, 

and would report the information to 

CDC on a voluntary basis. This 

information will assist CDC in fulfilling 

its regulatory responsibility to prevent 

the importation of communicable 

diseases from foreign countries (42 CFR 

part 71) and interstate control of 

communicable diseases in humans (42 

CFR part 70). 

CDC provides state and local health 

departments and maritime conveyance 

operators with information to notify and 

contact individuals and further 

investigate this exposure by contacting 

others with potential exposure to 

disease. However, there currently is no 

standardized tool or form to collect 

pertinent information regarding the 

outcome of such investigations. 

To address the need to inform CDC of 

additional actions that may be needed to 

further protect public health based on 

the outcome of the contact 

investigations, CDC has developed 

forms to assist health departments and 

maritime conveyance operators in 

reporting to CDC. The forms are specific 

to the nature of the investigation: 

Tuberculosis (TB), Measles, Rubella, or 

the General form for other diseases of 

public health concern. The purpose of 

the forms is the same: To collect 

information to help CDC quarantine 

officials fully understand the extent of 

disease spread and transmission during 

travel and to inform the development 

and/or refinement of investigative 

protocols aimed at reducing the spread 

of communicable disease. 

Respondents are state and local health 

departments and maritime conveyance 

operators. Respondents may use these 

standardized forms to submit data 

voluntarily to CDC for each individual 

contacted via a secure means of their 

choice, e.g., web-based application, fax, 

or email. 

In the past three years, CDC has used 

these forms to investigate TB cases on 

aircrafts and on cruise ships, as well as 


asabaliauskas on DSKBBXCHB2PROD with NOTICES
47744 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 197 / Friday, October 13, 2017 / Notices 

during measles cases that have occurred 

in the U.S. associated with travel. 

The respondents are Cruise Ship 

Medical Staff/Cargo Ship Managers and 

State/local health department staff. 

There is no cost to respondents other 

than their time to complete the form and 

submit the data to CDC.
