calibrating international standards. The
Board welcomes feedback on current
and future QISs from firms both
formally, through frequently asked
questions (FAQs), and informally via
newly instituted QIS outreach sessions,
ad hoc discussions, and emails. As a
general matter, however, the Board is
unable to guarantee the release of QISs
for notice and comment because
international working groups often
require three or more months to develop
QISs, and the typical timeframe for the
entire QIS process is six months. The
full notice-and-comment period under
the PRA for information collections is
60 days. In order to alter such a
proposed QIS prior to its finalization,
the international working groups that
develop the QIS would need to
reconvene and the development process
would need to be reopened. Given these
constraints, the Board may have
insufficient time to conduct the final
survey and analyze the results within
the typical six-month QIS timeframe.
However, when a QIS template is
available in advance of the planned
distribution date, the Board works to
distribute the templates to respondents
early for information purposes, and
when time allows, to obtain feedback.
The Board has sent several proposed
collections to firms for feedback in
advance of the due date, including the
end-December 2017 Basel Monitoring
collection, and the newly proposed
Basel III Monitoring Capital and
Liquidity collections. Upon receiving
feedback from firms, the Board, in
conjunction with the Basel Committee
QIS working group, often revises the
templates and applies the feedback to
subsequent templates in order to
enhance the relevance and quality of
collected data.
The commenter’s final
recommendation was for the Board to
recognize QIS data limitations when
applying international standards to U.S.
institutions. The commenter noted the
example of a QIS for the largest
financial institutions in connection with
Basel III, arguing that it did not capture
the impact of the proposals on all
segments of the U.S. banking sector, its
customers, and the broader U.S.
economy. The Board recognizes the
limitations of QIS data and confirms
that QISs are a tool that serves as a
starting point for assessing the impact of
proposals.
The information collection will be
extended without revision as proposed.

System, January 17, 2019.

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND
HUMAN SERVICES
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention
Guidance Regarding Agency
Interpretation of ‘‘Rabies-Free’’ as It
Relates to the Importation of Dogs Into
the United States
AGENCY
: Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), Department of Health
and Human Services (HHS).
ACTION
: Notice of agency guidance.
SUMMARY
: The Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC) in the
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) is publishing this
guidance for dog owners and importers
who seek to admit a dog without a valid
rabies vaccination certificate into the
United States. Under current
regulations, all dogs admitted into the
United States must be accompanied by
a valid rabies vaccination certificate
unless the dog’s owner or importer
submits satisfactory evidence that the
dog has only been in a rabies-free
country if it is less than 6 months old
or has only been in a rabies-free country
for the 6 months before arrival if it is
older than 6 months. Through this
guidance, CDC is clarifying that it
interprets ‘‘rabies-free’’ for the purposes
of dog importation to mean ‘‘canine
rabies virus variant (CRVV)-free.’’ For
all other public health purposes, CDC
will continue to apply the general
definition of ‘‘rabies free,’’ which
includes and reflects the rabies status of
all terrestrial animals and not just dogs.
This guidance further describes the
considerations taken into account by
experts in determining whether a
country qualifies as CRVV-free. This
notice also informs dog owners and
importers on where to locate up-to-date
information on a country’s CRVV status
to facilitate a dog’s entry or re-entry into
the United States.
DATES
: This guidance will be
implemented on January 31, 2019.
