Circumstances of Change Request for OMB 0920-1443
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Division of Global Migration Health (DGMH) requests a nonmaterial/non-substantive of the currently approved emergency Information Collection Request: 2024 Marburg Airport Entry Questionnaires (OMB Control 0920-1443). The Department of Homeland Security has directed airlines to reroute U.S.-bound air passengers from Rwanda to U.S. airports where they will undergo entry health screenings conducted by CDC beginning on October 16, 2024. Given the urgent need to begin entry screening, CDC requests approval of this change request by 12pm on October 18, 2024.
Change Request
CDC is requesting non-substantive changes to the CDC Initial Screening and POE Public Health Risk Assessment forms. The purpose of this change is to streamline the data collection by providing clarifying language and reordering the questions to streamline the forms for both travelers and CDC staff conducting these screenings.
CDC does not consider this change substantive as it does not add or remove a substantial number of questions. The changes to the CDC Initial Screening form consist of minor clarifications to make questions easier for travelers to answer. CDC has added one question to the CDC Initial Screening form asking if the traveler works in a U.S. healthcare facility. This question is necessary to determine if a traveler works in a setting where they should be restricted from work in U.S. healthcare facility as indicated in CDC’s Interim Recommendations for Public Health Management of U.S.-based Healthcare Personnel Returning from Rwanda. The question does not substantially change the estimated burden for this form nor does it affect whether the traveler is referred for further assessment.
Changes to the POE Public Health Risk Assessment form include reordering questions to more closely align with travelers’ potential exposures and clarifying language for certain questions with the intent of making it easier for travelers to understand the questions. Travelers are not required to complete all sections of the POE Public Health Risk Assessment form and only need to complete relevant sections based on their symptoms or exposures.
CDC does not anticipate these changes will affect the estimated burden for initial or secondary public health entry screening. The data collected from these forms will be shared with state and local health department partners to aid the partners in prioritizing public health monitoring and post-arrival management of travelers in accordance with CDC’s Interim Recommendations for Post-Arrival Public Health Management of Travelers from Rwanda.
Increase in Annualized Total Burden Hours:
The previous burden calculated for this data collection consisted of 5,110 hours (rounded to nearest hour). CDC does not anticipate this update will change the estimated annual burden.
