Analyzed Economic Effects

5 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 3 costs, 0 mixed.

Travelers screened and monitored 21 days

If you recently were in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Uganda, or South Sudan, CDC conducts public health entry screening at designated U.S. airports and may place you on a 21-day monitoring period after arrival. CDC uses the information collected at entry to decide who needs monitoring, medical evaluation, quarantine, or phone follow-up with state and local health departments.

Flights rerouted to four U.S. airports

Airlines were instructed to redirect flights carrying persons who have recently traveled from or been present in DRC, Uganda, or South Sudan to Washington-Dulles International Airport (IAD) per the May 20, 2026 DHS instruction; CBP added Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta (ATL) and George Bush Intercontinental (IAH) on May 22, 2026, and John F. Kennedy International (JFK) on May 26, 2026. This rerouting applies to flights with persons who were in those countries in the prior 21 days.

CDC shares traveler contact info with states

CDC will share contact information and an initial public health exposure-risk assessment for travelers who were in outbreak areas during the 21 days before arrival with state and local health departments. State and local health departments use this information to prioritize follow-up and determine needed additional risk assessment or targeted public health measures.

Estimated respondent burden: 25,171 hours

CDC requests continued OMB approval for data collection with a total estimated annual burden of 25,171 hours. The notice lists form-level burdens: 54,750 traveler responses at 10 minutes each; 5,475 follow-up responses at 20 minutes each; 54,750 responses for a 15-minute traveler survey; 500 requests for exceptions at 1 hour each; and 100 airline feedback responses at 20 minutes each.

Certain travelers exempted from suspension

The suspension of introduction includes exceptions for U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, certain U.S. government personnel and military, case-by-case humanitarian or law enforcement exceptions, and Department of Homeland Security (DHS)-approved entry processes that use CDC-documented mitigation protocols. These groups are not covered by the general suspension orders.
