Proposed Project

Importation of Etiologic Agents, Hosts, and Vectors of Human

Disease (42 CFR 71.54)--(OMB Control No. 0920-0199)--Revision--Office

of the Director (OD), Centers for Disease Control (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

The Foreign Quarantine Regulations (42 CFR part 71) set forth

provisions to prevent the introduction, transmission, and spread of

communicable disease from foreign countries into the United States.

Subpart F--Importations--contains provisions for importation of

etiologic agents, hosts, and vectors (42 CFR 71.54), requiring persons

that import or distribute after importing these materials to obtain a

permit issued by the CDC. This request is for the information

collection requirements contained in 42 CFR 71.54 for issuance of

permits by CDC to importers or distributors after importation of

etiologic agents, hosts, or vectors of human disease.

CDC is requesting continued OMB approval to collect this

information through the use of two separate forms. These forms are: (1)

Application for Permit to Import or Transport Etiologic Agents, Hosts,

or Vectors of Human Disease and (2) Application for Permit to Import or

Transport Live Bats.

The Application for Permit to Import or Transport Etiologic Agents,

Hosts, or Vectors of Human Disease will be used by laboratory

facilities, such as those operated by government agencies,

universities, research institutions, and zoologic exhibitions, and also

by importers of nonhuman primate trophy materials, such as hunters or

taxidermists, to request permits for the importation and subsequent

distribution after importation of etiologic agents, hosts, or vectors

of human disease. The Application for Permit to Import or Transport

Etiologic Agents, Hosts, or Vectors of Human Disease requests applicant

and sender contact information; description of material for

importation; facility isolation and containment information; and

personnel qualifications.

The Application for Permit to Import or Transport Live Bats will be

used by laboratory facilities such as those operated by government

agencies, universities, research institutions, and zoologic exhibitions

entities to request importation and subsequent distribution after

importation of live bats. The Application for Permit to Import or

Transport Live Bats requests applicant and sender contact information;

a description and intended use of bats to be imported; facility

isolation and containment information; and personnel qualifications.

Estimated average time to complete this form is 20 minutes. There are

no costs to respondents other than their time.
