Proposed Project
Requirements for a Special Permit to Import Cynomolgus, African
Green, or Rhesus Monkeys into the United States (OMB Control No. 0920-
0263 exp. 6/30/2011)--Extension--National Center for Emerging and
Zoonotic Infectious Diseases, (NCEZID), Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
CDC is requesting OMB approval to continue its data collection,
``Requirements for a Special Permit to Import Cynomolgus, African
Green, or Rhesus Monkeys into the United States'', for another three
years. This data collection is currently approved under OMB Control No.
0920-0263. There are no revisions proposed to the currently approved
information collection request.
A registered importer must request a special permit to import
Cynomolgus, African Green, or Rhesus monkeys. To receive a special
permit to import nonhuman primates, the importer must submit a written
plan to the Director of CDC which specifies steps that will be taken to
prevent exposure of persons and animals during the entire importation
and quarantine process for the arriving nonhuman primates.
Under the special permit arrangement, registered importers must
submit a plan to CDC for importation and quarantine if they wish to
import the specific monkeys covered. The plan must address disease
prevention procedures to be carried out in every step of the chain of
custody of such
[[Page 76008]]
monkeys, from embarkation in the country of origin to release from
quarantine. Information such as species, origin and intended use for
monkeys, transit information, isolation and quarantine procedures, and
procedures for testing of quarantined animals is necessary for CDC to
make public health decisions. This information enables CDC to evaluate
compliance with the standards and to determine whether the measures
being taken are adequate to prevent exposure of persons and animals
during importation. CDC will monitor at least 2 shipments to be assured
that the provisions of a special permit plan are being followed by a
new permit holder. CDC will assure that adequate disease control
practices are being used by new permit holders before the special
permit is extended to cover the receipt of additional shipments under
the same plan for a period of 180 days, and may be renewed upon
request. This extension eliminates the burden on importers to
repeatedly report identical information, requiring submission only of
specific shipment itineraries and information on changes to the plan
which require approval.
Respondents are businesses or not-for-profit organizations that
import nonhuman primates. The burden represents full disclosure of
information and itinerary/change information, respectively. There are
no costs to respondents except for their time to complete the
requisition process.
