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 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. The total annualized burden for
this information collection request is 21 hours.
