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.
