SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Screening and Monitoring of
DoD Personnel Deployed to Ebola Outbreak Areas; DD Form 2990 and DD
Form 2991; OMB Control Number 0720-0056.
Needs and Uses: The information collection requirement is necessary
to ensure DoD personnel deployed in support of Operation UNITED
ASSISTANCE are promptly evaluated for possible exposure(s) to the Ebola
virus during deployment to, and within 12 hours prior to departing
from, an Ebola outbreak country or region. Ebola is a Quarantinable
Communicable Disease as named in Executive Order 13295 and supported by
several DoD and Federal laws. This information will be used by DoD
medical and public health officials to (1) ensure Ebola exposure risk
is evaluated, (2) proper prevention and quarantine efforts are
implemented, (3) appropriate medical care is provided, (4) medical
surveillance programs are robust and (5) the spread of Ebola beyond
area of concern is minimized. The DoD has consulted with the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention, the Department of State, the Agency
for International Development, and several Defense Agencies regarding
disease control efforts and health surveillance in response to the
public health emergency in West Africa and worldwide. DoD has also
specifically discussed these new information collections with
representatives of the various Military Services, representing
deploying military members who have participated in the development of
the content of these forms.
