Circumstances of Change Request for OMB 0920-0134

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: International Travel: Illness and Death Reports for Foreign Quarantine Regulations (42 CFR 71) (OMB Control 0920-0134).

Background:

CDC submitted a revision for 0920-0134 on March 31, 2022 for a 30-day public comment period. In March 2023, after a conversation with OMB, CDC updated the revision to move the approval for the Air Travel Illness or Death Investigation Form back into OMB control number 0920-0134 after it had been temporarily paused in 0920-0134, and temporarily approved under OMB Control 0920-1318 because of updates made during the COVID-19 pandemic. The burden for the March 2023 revision was also updated since the March 2022 version included estimates based on COVID-19 illness reporting as of March 2022.

While the updated revision shared with OMB in early March 2023 was approved informally, it was not included in the 180-day approval of OMB Control 0920-0134 that occurred on March 15, 2023 with an updated expiration date of March 31, 2026.

Change Request: Therefore, CDC is requesting the following non-substantive change requests for 0920-0134.

• Because the number of air illness and death reports have decreased since the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, updating the number of illness reports made for information collection 42 CFR 71.21 (b) Death/Illness reports from aircrafts (No form), with a reduction of 79,500 [March 2022 estimate] to 4,000 burden hours

• Moving approval for the Air Travel Illness or Death Investigation Form back into 0920-0134, with an estimate of 4,000 burden hours

CDC views these changes as a non-substantive change since it is reducing overall burden of the 0920-0134 package, and simply unpausing approval of a form previously approved under 0920-0134.

Annualized Total Burden Hours:

Even though the Air Travel Illness or Death Investigation Form is being added back into 0920-0134, the overall reduction in the number of illness or deaths reported reduces the overall total burden hours of 0920-0134 from 3,595 to 2,078. Additionally, the new estimates of annualized cost would also be reduced overall, from $266,774.73 to $67,717.45
