The goal of this information collection is to ensure that CDC can collect data related to communicable diseases or deaths that occur aboard conveyances during interstate travel within the United States. Data is used by CDC to assess and respond to reports of communicable disease or death that occur on conveyances engaged in interstate travel, and assist state and local health authorities if an illness or death occurs that poses a risk to public health. As required by regulation, all instances of communicable disease characterized by certain signs and symptoms must be reported to the local health authority with jurisdiction over the arrival port. CDC has accepted reports to CDC as fulfilling this requirement. CDC also requests reports of all deaths occurring during domestic flights.
In this Revision, CDC is consolidating several aviation‑related information collections under one OMB control number to streamline PRA submissions and align burden estimates with current post‑COVID‑19 reporting levels. Multiple forms were updated to reflect new terminology, revised exposure and symptom fields, updated security and submission instructions, and alignment with Executive Order 14168 by replacing “gender” with “sex.” Most affected tools also had their OMB Control Numbers updated to 0920‑0488 for consistency.
