B. Collections of Information Employing Statistical Methods
Regulations at 42 CFR 70 require that a person who is in the communicable period of cholera, plague, smallpox, typhus or yellow fever or who, having been exposed to any such disease, is in the incubation period thereof, request a permit from the Surgeon General or his/her designated representative to travel from one State to another. Supporting medical information is also required when requesting this permit.
The regulations also require that a person who has a communicable disease request a permit from the State of destination to travel from one State to another, if that State has a requirement for such a permit. Supporting medical information is also required when requesting this permit.
The regulations further require that the master of a vessel or person in charge of a conveyance engaged in interstate traffic, on which a case or suspected case of a communicable disease develops, shall notify the local health authority at the next port of call, station, or stop, and take such measures to prevent the spread of the disease as the local health authority directs.
Submission is by paper form or by alternative means (telephone, fax) of conveying data that has been entered onto a paper form. A copy will be sent to CDC for use in analyzing, coordinating, and maintaining control over the situation that caused imposition of the regulatory requirements.
Response to this data collection is required. However, the information requested has been kept to the absolute minimum in order to minimize the public burden. CDC has also combined the reporting requirements for all three sections into one easy to use form.
CDC currently collects this data under a previously approved data collection. The protocols and electronic systems used for this data collection are continually updated and improved for quality of data collection and ease of use for both the public, industry and CDC program administrators.
