Abstract:
Information collection is developed to ensure that, consistent with the terms of the January 25, 2021 Order Under Section 361 of The Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. § 264) and 42 Code Of Federal Regulations §§ 71.20, 71.31(B), & 71.32(B) Requirement For Negative Pre-Departure Covid-19 Test Result Or Documentation Of Recovery From Covid-19 For All Airline Or Other Aircraft Passengers Arriving Into The United States From Any Foreign Country, public health authorities in the United States can confirm that individuals have received a negative test result for COVID-19 or have recently recovered from COVID-19 and been cleared to travel by a licensed health care provider or public health official prior to departing the foreign country and arriving in the United States.
Emergency Justfication:
As cases of COVID-19 continue to rise across the globe and travel volume increases, routine pre-departure testing of all U.S.-bound aircraft passengers is needed not only to reduce introduction of the two known SARS-CoV-2 variants from UK and RSA, but also future variants that might be more transmissible and cause more severe illness. CDC requests an extension of the emergency clearance to require air travelers from all foreign countries to the US to provide negative COVID-19 tests to airlines prior to boarding and to attest that those tests are truthful and accurate.
