Circumstances of Change Request for OMB 0920-1318

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Division of Global Migration and Quarantine (DGMQ) requests nonmaterial/non-substantive changes to the currently approved Information Collection Request: Requirement For Proof Of Covid-19 Vaccination For Noncitizen, Nonimmigrant Air Passengers Arriving Into The United States From A Foreign Country (OMB Control 0920-1318).

Background: CDC submitted an emergency revision request to OMB Control #0920-0134 on June 11, 2022 to remove anything related to the rescinded requirement for air passengers to show a negative COVID-19 test or documentation of recovery from the attestation. The information collection request is currently approved until December 31, 2022.

Change Request: CDC has been told by the Office of General Counsel that the Privacy Act Statement at the end of the attestation should have been removed for the revised attestation that was submitted on June 11, 2022. This is because the Privacy Act only applies to U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents, and the attestation for the proof of vaccination requirement only applies to noncitizen nonimmigrants.

Annualized Total Burden Hours:

There is no change to total burden hours for this non-substantive change request.
