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 ``Contact Investigation Outcome Reporting
Forms'' 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 June 4,
2024 to obtain comments from the public and affected agencies. CDC did
not receive comments 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
[[Page 66724]]
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
publication.
Proposed Project
Contact Investigation Outcome Reporting Forms (OMB Control No.
0920-0900, Exp. 8/31/2024)--Revision--National Center for Emerging and
Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (NCEZID), Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The goal of this information collection is to obtain sufficient
information on the results of contact investigations carried out by
state, local, and territorial public health professionals or maritime
medical crews to assess the impact of a confirmed communicable disease
of public health concern in a traveler, both in terms of further
transmission of disease and health outcomes for cases and contacts.
This data collection will also determine if further public health
intervention is appropriate.
CDC sends an outcome reporting form to state, local, and
territorial health departments and maritime operators when an
individual with a communicable disease is reported and there is
sufficient evidence to suggest that the individual was infectious
during travel and/or potentially posed a public health risk to other
travelers on the same conveyance. The reporting forms record
information about the exposed traveler's location and activities on air
or maritime conveyance or land border crossing, other potential
exposures, signs/symptoms that may have occurred after their potential
exposure, prior history of vaccination or disease, and other medical
conditions that could influence the risk of infection or severity of
illness. CDC has adjusted the burden to account for changes after the
COVID-19 pandemic. Minor adjustments were also made to some forms to
improve clarity, readability, and public health relevance of the data
collected; these changes are not expected to affect reporting burden.
CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 33 annualized burden
hours. There are no costs to respondents other than their time to
participate.
