Information collection is developed to
ensure that, consistent with the terms of the January 25, 2021
Order Under Section 361 of The Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C.
§ 264) and 42 Code Of Federal Regulations §§ 71.20, 71.31(B), &
71.32(B) Requirement For Negative Pre-Departure Covid-19 Test
Result Or Documentation Of Recovery From Covid-19 For All Airline
Or Other Aircraft Passengers Arriving Into The United States From
Any Foreign Country, public health authorities in the United States
can confirm that individuals have received a negative test result
for COVID-19 or have recently recovered from COVID-19 and been
cleared to travel by a licensed health care provider or public
health official prior to departing the foreign country and arriving
in the United States.
As cases of COVID-19
continue to rise across the globe and travel volume increases,
routine pre-departure testing of all U.S.-bound aircraft passengers
is needed not only to reduce introduction of the two known
SARS-CoV-2 variants from UK and RSA, but also future variants that
might be more transmissible and cause more severe illness. CDC
requests an extension of the emergency clearance to require air
travelers from all foreign countries to the US to provide negative
COVID-19 tests to airlines prior to boarding and to attest that
those tests are truthful and accurate.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
