record marriages occurring in each

form. The data are routinely available in
each reporting office as a by-product of
ongoing activities. This form is designed
to collect counts of monthly occurrences
of births, deaths, infant deaths,
marriages, and divorces immediately
following the month of occurrence.
There are no costs to respondents other
than their time.

The Annual Marriage and Divorce
Occurrence Report form (CDC 64.147)
collects final annual counts of marriages
and divorces by month for the United
States and for each State. The statistical
counts requested on this form differ
from provisional estimates obtained on
the National Vital Statistics Report form
in that they represent complete and
final counts of marriages, divorces, and
annulments occurring during the
months of the prior year. These final
counts are usually available from State
or county officials about eight months
after the end of the data year. The data
are widely used by government,
academic, private research, and
commercial organizations in tracking
changes in trends of family formation
and dissolution.
Respondents for the Annual Marriage
and Divorce Occurrence Report form are
registration officials in each State, the
District of Columbia, New York City,
Guam, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands,
Northern Marianas, and American
Samoa. The data are routinely available
in each reporting office as a by-product
of ongoing activities.

Proposed Project
Report of Verified Case of
Tuberculosis (RVCT) (OMB Control No.
0920–0026)—Extension—Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC),
National Center for HIV, STD, and TB
Prevention (NCHSTP).
Background and Brief Description:
CDC is requesting OMB approval for
another 3-year extension of the Report
of Verified Case of Tuberculosis (RVCT)
data collection.
CDC maintains the national TB
surveillance system to support CDC’s
goal of eliminating tuberculosis (TB) in
the United States. Previous
modifications to the data collection
have improved the ability of CDC to
monitor important aspects of TB
epidemiology in the United States,
including drug resistance, TB risk
factors, including HIV coinfection, and
treatment. The system also enables CDC
to monitor the recovery of the nation
from the resurgence and identify that

current TB epidemiology supports the
renewed national goal of elimination.
To measure progress in achieving this
goal, as well as continue to monitor TB
trends and potential TB outbreaks,
identify high risk populations for TB,
and gauge program performance, CDC is
requesting approval to extend the use of
the RVCT.
Data are collected by 60 Reporting
Areas (50 states, the District of
Columbia, New York City, Puerto Rico,
and 7 jurisdictions in the Pacific and
Caribbean) using the RVCT. There are
no changes to the forms previously
approved in 2002. An RVCT is
completed for each reported TB case
and contains demographic, clinical, and
laboratory information.
A comprehensive software package,
the Tuberculosis Information
Management System (TIMS) is currently
used for RVCT data entry and electronic
transmission of reports to CDC. TIMS
provides reports, query functions, and
export functions to assist in analysis of
the data. However, electronic
transmission of TB case reports to CDC
is in a transition phase with the
development of the web-based National

56170
Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 185 / Monday, September 26, 2005 / Notices
Electronic Disease Surveillance System
(NEDSS) and Public Health Information
Network (PHIN). Following the
transition, many respondents will
implement a PHIN compatible
information system to collect and report
TB surveillance data via the PHIN
Messaging System. The remaining
respondents will employ the NEDSS
base system. These respondents will be
able to use either the associated TB
Program Area Module or their own TB
surveillance application to collect and
report RVCT data to CDC.
CDC publishes an annual report
summarizing national TB statistics and
also periodically conducts special
analyses for publication in peerreviewed scientific journals to further
describe and interpret national TB data.
These data assist public health officials
and policy makers in program planning,
evaluation, and resource allocation.
Reporting Areas also review and analyze
their RVCT data to monitor local TB
trends, evaluate program success, and
assist in focusing resources to eliminate
TB.
No other Federal agency collects this
type of national TB data. In addition to
providing technical assistance on the
use of RVCT, CDC also provides
Reporting Areas with technical support
for the TIMS software. In this request,
CDC is requesting approval for 7,560
burden hours, a decrease of 780 hours.
There are no costs to respondents except
for their time. This decrease is due to a
decrease in the total number of
tuberculosis cases.

Comment Request
In compliance with the requirement
for opportunity for public comment on
proposed data collection projects
(section 3506(c)(2)(A)) of Title 44,
United States Code, as amended by the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
Public Law 104–13, the Health
Resources and Services Administration
(HRSA) publishes periodic summaries
of proposed projects being developed
for submission to the Office of

the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.

To request more information on the
proposed project or to obtain a copy of
the data collection plans and draft
instruments, call the HRSA Reports
Clearance Officer on (301) 443–1129.
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; and (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.

veterinary medicine, optometry,
podiatric medicine, and pharmacy. The
NSL Program provides long-term, lowinterest loans to students who attend
eligible schools of nursing in programs
leading to a diploma in nursing, and an
associate degree, a baccalaureate degree,
or a graduate degree in nursing.
Participating HPSL and NSL schools are
responsible for determining eligibility of
applicants, making loans, and collecting
monies owed by borrowers on their
outstanding loans. The deferment form
(HRSA form 519) provides the schools
with documentation of a borrower’s
eligibility for deferment. The Annual
Operating Report (AOR–HRSA form
501) provides the Federal Government
with information from participating and
non-participating schools (schools that
are no longer granting loans but are
required to report and maintain program
records, student records, and repayment
records until all student loans are repaid
in full and all monies due the Federal
Government are returned) relating to
HPSL and NSL program operations and
financial activities.
