Abstract:
CDC requests Office of Management and Budget approval to collect information for three years. CDC revised the Application for Permit to Import Biological Agents, Infectious Substances and Vectors of Human Disease into the U.S. to remove questions that are duplicative or not required to process the import permit request and added questions requesting biosafety officer's contact information and verifying biosafety measures for any subsequent transfers listed on the import permit application of infectious biological agent infectious substance, and/or vector once in the U.S. CDC revised the Application for Permit to Import or Transport Live Bats to add a question about what protective measures will be used. This Change Request is associated with the COVID-19 Emergency Response. We are adding an additional form (Application Permit For Importation of Human Remains) that will be used by facilities that will bury/cremate the imported cadaver and educational facilities to request a permit for the importation and subsequent transfers throughout the U.S. of human remains or body parts that contains biological agents, infectious substances, or vectors of human disease. The CDC/IPP will review the application for permits to ensure that the imported human remains have appropriate biosafety measures in place to protect the public from exposure to blood and other body fluids during transportation, inspection, and/or storage of human remains that may be infected with SARS-CoV-2.
