Proposed Project
Aggregate Reports for Tuberculosis Program Evaluation (OMB No.
0920-0457 exp. 5/30/2010) -- Reinstatement with change --National
Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP),
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
CDC, NCHHSTP, Division of Tuberculosis Elimination (DTBE) proposes
to reinstate with change the Aggregate Reports for Tuberculosis Program
Evaluation, previously approved under OMB No. 0920-0457. This request
is for a 3-year clearance. There are no revisions to the report forms,
data definitions, or reporting instructions. Changes within this
information collection request (ICR) reflect an increase in the annual
cost to the government. The increased cost is due to increases in
salaries of personnel conducting data collection and analysis since the
last ICR approval.
DTBE is the lead agency for tuberculosis elimination in the United
States. 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 DTBE. These reports emphasize treatment outcomes, high-priority
target populations vulnerable to tuberculosis, and programmed
electronic report entry, which will be 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 NTIP access
(Electronic--100%, Use of Electronic Signatures--No). The annual burden
to respondents is estimated to be 226 hours.
