Proposed Project
Importation of Etiologic Agents (42 CFR 71.54)--(OMB Control No.

Preparedness and Response (OPHPR), Centers for Disease Control and

[[Page 67374]]
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 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. The revisions to the
``Application for Permit to Import or Transport Etiologic Agents,
Hosts, or Vectors of Human Disease are primarily changes to forms to
clarify instructions, correct editorial errors from previous
submission, and reformat the structure of the forms based on the day-
to-day processing of these forms. The ``Application for Permit to
Import or Transport Live Bats'' is not being revised at this time.
CDC is requesting continued OMB approval to collect this
information through the use of two separate forms for a 3 year period.
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. The total
estimated annual burden hours are 670.
