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 ``Land travel-related Public Health 
Activities'' 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 January 
13, 2026 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 
publication.

Proposed Project

    Land travel-related Public Health Activities (OMB Control No. 0920-
0134, Exp. 3/31/2026)--Revision--National Center for Emerging and 
Zoonotic Diseases (NCEZID), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 
(CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The goal of this information collection is to ensure that, 
consistent with the authorities in the Public Health Service Act and 
CFR parts 70 and 71, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) 
is able to prevent the introduction, transmission and spread of 
communicable diseases from foreign countries into the United States or 
from one State or possession into any other State or possession.
    This information collection focuses on collecting necessary 
information needed for CDC to conduct public health response and follow 
up in the event an individual with a confirmed or suspected 
communicable disease is known to have traveled via land conveyance 
(e.g., bus, train, other) across an international land border or state 
borders while infectious or potentially infectious, presenting a risk 
of disease spread to others on the conveyance.
    This information collection includes collection of conveyance, 
passenger and crew contact information from land conveyance operators 
(for example, via manifests) for contact investigations. Additionally, 
this information collection includes forms to obtain information on the 
outcomes of the contact investigations carried out by international, 
state, local, or territorial public health professionals to assess the 
impacts of CDC public health activities. With this current submission, 
CDC is requesting a Revision that will consolidate all land travel 
activity-related information collections under one OMB Control Number, 
thereby improving efficiency of CDC's land travel activities PRA 
submission process. In this Revision, CDC plans to keep one form in the 
previously approved version of 0920-0134, and add two that are 
currently approved under other OMB Control Numbers. CDC is also 
requesting to add four new information collection tools related to land 
travel that are based on similar tools for air travel. All other 
information collection tools currently approved in 0920-0134 are 
undergoing other requests to be moved into other approved OMB packages. 
With the aggregation of these land activity tools to simplify the PRA 
process, CDC is recommending revising the previous title from ``Foreign 
Quarantine Regulations (42 CFR 71)'' to ``Land travel-related Public 
Health Activities.''
    CDC requests OMB approval for a total estimated 154 annual burden 
hours. There are no costs to respondents other than their time to 
participate.
