CDC has been tasked with conducting
public health assessments at U.S. airports of travelers coming from
areas experiencing an outbreak of a novel (new) coronavirus (named
“2019-nCoV”) in order to detect ill individuals or individuals at
risk of being ill with 2019-nCoV. The goal of this information
collection is to 1) accurately assess risk for infection or
exposure to 2019-nCoV in travelers coming to the United States from
locations experiencing an outbreak of 2019-nCoV, and 2) assist
states in facilitating public health follow-up of contacts in the
event of a confirmed case on an aircraft. The information will be
used to determine if individuals meet risk thresholds for further
medical evaluation or public health follow-up according to guidance
developed by the CDC, and to assist health departments in
facilitating public health follow-up, as appropriate. The
Non-Substantive Change Request described here is being submitted to
adjust the burden for travelers coming to this country from Brazil,
and also reflects changes in burden as a result of a decreased
number of travelers coming to the U.S.
Pursuant to the Office
of Management and Budget (OMB) procedures established at 5 CFR
1320, Controlling Paperwork Burdens on the Public, CDC requests
that the following collection of information, 2019 Novel
Coronavirus Airport Entry Questionnaires and Aircraft Contact
Investigations Information Collection, be processed in accordance
with section 1320.13 Emergency Processing. CDC has determined that
this information must be collected prior to the expiration of time
periods established under Part 1320, and that this information is
essential to the CDC’s ability to effectively address the potential
international public health crisis emanating from Wuhan City, Hubei
Province, China, and which continues to expand. There is currently
a lack of information concerning the risk of spread posed by the
Novel (new) Coronavirus (“2019-nCoV”); however, thousands of cases
have been identified in China, including outside of Hubei Province
and infections are also being reported in a growing number of
international locations, including the United States. This suggests
there is a risk of international spread. To combat this, CDC, along
with the Department of Homeland Security, will implement an
enhanced risk assessment program at U.S airports for travelers from
Wuhan, China. CDC may also require that travelers from additional
countries be assessed for risk in the event that those locations
represent a risk of spread to the United States.
