The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as part of its continuing efforts to reduce public burden and maximize the utility of government information, invites the general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on proposed and/or continuing information collections, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This notice invites comment on Aggregate Reports for Tuberculosis Program Evaluation. The goal of the study is to allow CDC to collect and monitor indicators for key program activities, such as finding tuberculosis infections in recent contacts of cases and in other persons likely to be infected and providing therapy for latent tuberculosis infection in an effort to eliminate Tuberculosis in the United States.

Reduction Act of 1995. This notice invites comment on Aggregate Reports 
for Tuberculosis Program Evaluation. The goal of the study is to allow 
CDC to collect and monitor indicators for key program activities, such 
as finding tuberculosis infections in recent contacts of cases and in 
other persons likely to be infected and providing therapy for latent 
tuberculosis infection in an effort to eliminate Tuberculosis in the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 
(PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), Federal agencies must obtain approval from 
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of 
information they conduct or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also requires 
Federal agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal Register 
concerning each proposed collection of information, including each new 
proposed collection, each proposed extension of existing collection of 
information, and each reinstatement of previously approved information 
collection before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To 
comply with this requirement, we are publishing this notice of a 
proposed data collection as described below.
    Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the agency, including whether the information shall have practical 
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; (d) ways to 
minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, 
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other 
forms of information technology; and (e) estimates of capital or start-
up costs and costs of operation, maintenance, and purchase of services 
to provide information. Burden means the total time, effort, or 
financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, 
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This 
includes the time needed to review instructions; to develop, acquire, 
install and utilize technology and systems for the purpose of 
collecting, validating and verifying information, processing and 
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; to 
train personnel and to be able to respond to a collection of 
information, to search data sources, to complete and review the 
collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise disclose the 
information.

Proposed Project

Aggregate Reports for Tuberculosis Program Evaluation (0920-0457--Exp. 
9-30-2016)--Extension--National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, 
STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention (CDC)

Background and Brief Description

    CDC requests the extension of the Aggregate Reports for 
Tuberculosis Program Evaluation, previously approved under OMB No. 
0920-0457 for 3-years. There are no revisions to the report forms, data 
definitions, or reporting instructions.
    To ensure the elimination of tuberculosis in the United States, CDC 
monitors indicators for key program activities, such as finding 
tuberculosis infections in recent contacts of cases and in other 
persons likely to be infected and providing therapy for latent 
tuberculosis infection. In 2000, CDC implemented two program evaluation 
reports for annual submission: Aggregate report of follow-up for 
contacts of tuberculosis, and Aggregate report of screening and 
preventive therapy for tuberculosis infection (OMB No. 0920-0457). The 
respondents for these reports are the 68 state and local tuberculosis 
control programs receiving federal cooperative agreement funding 
through the CDC Division of Tuberculosis Elimination (DTBE). These 
reports emphasize treatment outcomes, high-priority target populations 
vulnerable to tuberculosis, and programmed electronic report entry, 
which transitioned to the National Tuberculosis Indicators Project 
(NTIP), a secure web-based system for program evaluation data, in 2010. 
No other federal agency collects this type of national tuberculosis 
data, and the Aggregate report of follow-up for contacts of 
tuberculosis, and Aggregate report of screening and preventive therapy 
for tuberculosis infection are the only data source about latent 
tuberculosis infection for monitoring national progress toward 
tuberculosis elimination with these activities. CDC provides ongoing 
assistance in the preparation and utilization of these reports at the 
local and state levels of public health jurisdiction. CDC also provides 
respondents with technical support for the NTIP software (Electronic--
100%, Use of Electronic Signatures--No). There is no cost to 
respondents.
