        <RULE_TITLE>Control of Communicable Diseases Foreign Quarantine</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[By statute, the Secretary of Health and Human Services has broad authority to prevent introduction, transmission, and spread of communicable diseases from foreign
countries into the United States and from one State or possession into another. Quarantine regulations are divided into two parts: Part 71 dealing with foreign arrivals and part 70 dealing with interstate matters. This rule (42 CFR part 71) will update and improve CDCs response to both global and domestic disease threats by
creating a multi-tiered illness detection and response process thus substantially
enhancing the public health systems ability to slow the introduction, transmission, and spread of communicable disease. The rule will also modify current Federal regulations governing the apprehension, quarantine isolation and conditional release of individuals suspected of carrying a quarantinable disease while respecting
individual autonomy.  CDC maintains quarantine stations at 20 ports of entry staffed with medical and public health officers who respond to reports of diseases from carriers. According to the statutory scheme, the President determines through Executive Order which diseases may subject individuals to quarantine. The current
disease list, which was last updated in April 2005, includes cholera, diphtheria, tuberculosis, plague, smallpox, yellow fever, viral hemorrhagic fevers, severe acute
respiratory syndrome (SARS), and influenza caused by novel or reemergent influenza viruses that are causing, or have the potential to cause a pandemic.]]></ABSTRACT>
