Emergency ICR is submitted to allow CDC to conduct post-arrival symptom monitoring of travelers who have been in the Marburg Virus outbreak area and to evaluate the impact of rerouting and public health entry screening on travelers.
Approval of this Emergency ICR is essential to CDCâs ability to assess risk of symptoms or exposure to Marburg virus disease (MVD) in travelers coming to the United States from areas affected by an outbreak of MVD originating in Rwanda..Given the quickly changing situation, it is not feasible for CDC to consult with members of the public or other agencies or organizations regarding this information collection. CDC has consulted with state and local health departments and has incorporated their feedback into the data collection instruments and workflow processes. Based on state and local health department input, CDC was able to tailor the information collection to meet critical emergency response needs while also ensuring travelers, along with state and local health departments were not overly burdened with this collection. CDC requests authorization to use information collection instruments for 180 days to mitigate the risk of the importation and spread of MVD in the United States. If an emergency approval is not granted, then the spread of MVD to and within the United States is more likely.
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.
