Approved consistent with the understanding that an individual's refusal to be screened or to complete the passenger locator form will not directly result in that individualâs quarantine, isolation, or conditional release. However, if sufficient facts and circumstances exist that would lead a public health officer to reasonably suspect that the individual is infected with a quarantinable communicable disease in its qualifying stage, then that individual may be issued a Federal order for quarantine, isolation, or conditional surveillance.

This information collection ensures that, consistent with the authorities in the Public Health Service Act and in Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), CDC can collect conveyance, passenger and crew member manifest information (manifests) and Passenger Locator Forms (PLF) in the event an individual with a confirmed or suspected case of a communicable disease is known to have traveled on an interstate flight while infectious or potentially infectious and presented a risk of spread to other passengers or crew. This is collected so CDC can initiate the process of contact tracing or provision of other public health follow up to prevent further disease spread.
