Proposed Project
Importation of Transportation of Etiologic Agents (42 CFR 71.54)--
(OMB Control No. 0920-0199 exp. 1/31/2011)--Extension--Office of Public
Health Preparedness and Response (OPHPR), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Foreign Quarantine Regulations (42 CFR part 71) set forth
provisions to prevent the introduction, transmission, and spread of
communicable disease from foreign countries into the United States.
Subpart F--Importations--contains provisions for importation of
etiologic agents, hosts, and vectors (42 CFR part 71.54), requiring
persons that import these materials to obtain a permit issued by the
CDC. This request is for the information collection requirements
contained in 42 CFR 71.54 for issuance of permits by CDC to importers
of etiologic agents, hosts, or vectors of human disease.
CDC is requesting continued OMB approval to collect this
information through the use of two separate forms. These forms are: (1)
Application for Permit to Import or Transport Etiologic Agents, Hosts,
or Vectors of Human Disease; and (2) Application for Permit to Import
or Transport Live Bats.
The Application for Permit to Import or Transport Etiologic Agents,
Hosts, or Vectors of Human Disease will be used by laboratory
facilities, such as those operated by government agencies,
universities, research institutions, and zoologic exhibitions, and also
by importers of nonhuman primate trophy materials, such as hunters or
taxidermists, to request permits for the importation of etiologic
agents, hosts, or vectors of human disease. The Application for Permit
to Import or Transport Etiologic Agents, Hosts, or Vectors of Human
Disease requests applicant and sender contact information; description
of material for importation; facility isolation and containment
information; and personnel qualifications.
The Application for Permit to Import or Transport Live Bats will be
used by laboratory facilities such as those operated by government
agencies, universities, research institutions, and zoologic exhibitions
entities to request importation and subsequent distribution after
importation of live bats. The Application for Permit to Import or
Transport Live Bats requests applicant and sender contact information;
a description and intended use of bats to be imported; facility
isolation and containment information; and personnel qualifications.
There is no cost to respondents except their time.
