Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 92 / Friday, May 12, 2023 / Notices

Pursuant to the May 9, 2023,
Proclamation, and the President’s
revocation of the vaccination
requirements contained in Proclamation
10294, CDC has reviewed its Amended
Order Implementing Presidential
Proclamation on Safe Resumption of
Global Travel During the COVID–19
Pandemic and has determined that
termination of this Amended Order is
warranted. CDC’s Amended Order,
which implemented Proclamation
10294’s vaccination requirements, is
terminated and no longer remains in
effect as of 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight
time on May 12, 2023.
This means that as of 12:01 a.m.
eastern daylight time on May 12, 2023,
noncitizen, nonimmigrant air
passengers no longer need to show proof
of being fully vaccinated with an
accepted COVID–19 vaccine to board a
flight to the United States.1

Chief of Staff, Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention.

SUMMARY:

1 This Notice, like CDC’s April 2022 Amended
Order that no longer will be in effect as of 12:01
a.m. eastern daylight time on May 12, is not a
substantive rule within the meaning of the
Administrative Procedure Act (APA) because it
implements the President’s revocation of the
vaccination requirements contained in the October
2021 Proclamation (which in turn was the basis for
the CDC’s Amended Order). In any event, the APA’s
requirement of a 30-day delay in the effective date
of certain ‘‘substantive rule[s],’’ 5 U.S.C. 553(d),
would not apply to this notice, as this notice
‘‘relieves a restriction’’ contained in the Amended
Order, id. Section 553(d)(1). Independently, were
the APA applicable, CDC finds good cause for its
termination of the April 2022 Amended Order to
take effect at 12:01 a.m. on May 12, 2023, which
coincides with the end of the COVID–19 public
health emergency, given the latest public health
conditions and the latest guidance from public
health experts. See 5 U.S.C. 553(b), (d).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA)
(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal agencies
must obtain approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for each
collection of information they conduct
or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also
requires Federal agencies to provide a
60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each new
proposed collection, each proposed
extension of existing collection of
information, and each reinstatement of
previously approved information
collection before submitting the
collection to the OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are
publishing this notice of a proposed
data collection as described below.
The OMB is particularly interested in
comments that will help:

1. Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected;
4. Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses; and
5. Assess information collection costs.
Proposed Project
Noise Exposures and Hearing Loss in
the Oil and Gas Extraction Industry—
New—National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Oil and gas extraction (OGE) workers
play an important role in supporting the
United States economy and help fulfill
the energy needs of Americans and
American businesses. OGE workers
have significant risks for a variety of
exposures at oil and gas well sites, and
there has been no significant
occupational noise exposure research in
the United States onshore upstream
OGE sector. This proposed project will
characterize relationships between noise
exposure, chemical exposures, hearing
loss, and hearing loss prevention
practices within the onshore OGE
industry.
Primary data will be collected using
three approaches. First, researchers will
collect direct measurements of noise
and ototoxic chemicals on job sites,
including personal exposure
assessments of OGE workers. Second,
researchers will use a questionnaire to
collect information on noise and
chemical exposures, hearing loss, and
associated factors among OGE workers.
Third, audiometry tests performed by
NIOSH will be offered to industry
partners to further understand extent of
hearing loss amongst OGE workers.
Data will be used to understand noise
exposures, ototoxic chemical exposures,
self-reported hearing loss, and hearing
loss prevention practices in the OGE
industry. Subsequently, the data and

analysis will be used to create evidencebased interventions and
recommendations, which will be

communicated to the spectrum of OGE
industry stakeholders.
CDC requests OMB approval for an
estimated 65 annual burden hours.

There is no cost to respondents other
than their time to participate.

Background and Brief Description
CDC is frequently called upon to
respond to urgent requests from one or
more external partners (e.g., local, State,
Territory, and Tribal health authorities;
other Federal agencies; local and State
leaders; schools; or other partner
organizations) to conduct investigations
of suicide. Supporting rapid
investigations to inform the
implementation of effective suicide
prevention strategies is one of the most
important ways CDC can serve to
protect and promote the health of the
public.
Rapid Response Suicide Investigation
Data Collections are specifically
designed to inform the implementation
of prevention strategies in a state,
county, community, or vulnerable
population where a possible suicide
cluster or increasing trend has been
observed. This Generic Clearance will
not be used to conduct research studies
or to collect data designed to draw
conclusions about the United States or
areas beyond the defined geographic
location or vulnerable population that is
the focus of the investigation. CDC, in
collaboration with external partners,
will identify the respondent universe for
each Rapid Response Suicide
Investigation Data Collection. The
respondent universe will be determined
based on the information needed to
understand potential suicide clusters,
significant increases in suicidal
behavior and suicide, risk and
protective factors, and vulnerable
populations, in order to inform the
implementation of suicide prevention
strategies.
CDC requests OMB approval for an
estimated 1,000 annual burden hours.
There are no costs to respondents other
than their time to participate.
