Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review

    In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers 
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has submitted the information 
collection request titled ``Airline and Vessel and Traveler Information 
Collection (42 CFR part 71.4(d))'' to the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB) for review and approval. CDC previously published a 
``Proposed Data Collection Submitted for Public Comment and 
Recommendations'' notice on November 22, 2021] to obtain comments from 
the public and affected agencies. CDC received one comment related to 
the previous notice. This notice serves to allow an additional 30 days 
for public and affected agency comments.
    CDC will accept all comments for this proposed information 
collection project. The Office of Management and Budget is particularly 
interested in comments that:
    (a) 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;
    (b) Evaluate the accuracy of the agencies estimate of the burden of 
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used;
    (c) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to 
be collected;
    (d) 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 submission of responses; and
    (e) Assess information collection costs.
    To request additional information on the proposed project or to 
obtain a copy of the information collection plan and instruments, call 
(404) 639-7570. Comments and recommendations for the proposed 
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of 
this notice to <a href="http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain">www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain</a>. Find this particular 
information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--
Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function. Direct 
written comments and/or suggestions regarding the items contained in 
this notice to the Attention: CDC Desk Officer, Office of Management 
and Budget, 725 17th Street NW, Washington, DC 20503 or by fax to (202) 
395-5806. Provide written comments within 30 days of notice

Proposed Project

    Airline and Vessel and Traveler Information Collection (42 CFR part 
71.4(d)) (OMB Control No. 0920-1354, Exp. 5/31/2022)--Extension--
National Center for Emerging Zoonotic and Infectious Diseases (NCEZID), 
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a component 
of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), has the 
regulatory authority to collect contact information from airlines under 
42 CFR 71. CDC exercises this authority to ensure that public health 
agencies across the United States can provide appropriate public health 
follow-up to travelers who may be ill or exposed to a communicable 
disease.
    CDC announces the requirement for all airlines and operators to 
collect and/or maintain passenger and crew contact information 
(designated information), and for passengers to provide such

[[Page 32027]]

information to airlines and operators, on flights arriving into the 
United States. This includes flights with intermediate stops in the 
United States between the flight's foreign point of origin and the 
final destination. Unless otherwise transmitted to the U.S. Government 
via established U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) data 
systems, airlines and operators are required to retain the designated 
information for 30 days and transmit it within 24 hours of a request 
from CDC. Accurate and complete contact information is needed to 
protect the health of travelers and U.S. communities and for the 
purposes of public health follow-up.
    CDC seeks an Extension for Airline and Vessel and Traveler 
Information Collection (42 CFR part 71.4(d)) (OMB Control No. 0920-
1354) and requests approval for an estimated 6,191,023 burden hours.
