SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Background
Section 521 of Title 40 of the United
States Code ( 40 U.S.C. 521) and General
Services Administration (GSA) policies
require the maximum use of excess
property by executive agencies, and
provide for the transfer of excess
property to other Federal agencies and
eligible recipients. In addition, section
524 of Title 40 United States Code (40
U.S.C. 524) and Federal Management
Regulation (FMR) section 102–36.45 (41
CFR 102–36.45) require that the
agencies perform care and handling of
excess property. Maintaining the utility
of property protects the Government’s
investment in that property and saves
Federal agencies and taxpayers valuable
resources by avoiding the need to
acquire new property.
This notice announces GSA Bulletin
FMR B–17 which provides guidance to
Federal agencies to maximize the use
and benefits of property throughout the
asset management lifecycle and to
explain how those benefits are extended
to the public.

fill positions with highly qualified
candidates, and expanding the specialty
into new medical leadership roles
(Ducatman, et al., 2005).
The mission of CDC’s Preventive
Medicine Residency and Fellowship
(PMR/F) is to (1) train public health and
preventive medicine leaders, and (2)
maintain leadership in the field of
preventive medicine training. CDC’s
PMR/F has been training physicians in
the residency since 1972 and
veterinarians in the fellowship since
1983. PMR/F consists of a competencybased curriculum, a one-year practicum,
and sponsorship for a Master of Public
Health degree for qualified applicants
before the practicum year. PMR/F
provides its residents and fellows with
training and experience in leadership,
management, program development and
evaluation, and the translation of
epidemiology to public health practice.
During the past 15 years, the CDC
PMR/F has adapted its educational plan
and design in response to changing
public health needs, feedback from
trainees and stakeholders, internal
reviews of the residency, changes in
Accreditation Council for Graduate
Medical Education (ACGME)
requirements, and a formal national
survey of Preventive Medicine
Residency graduates conducted by CDC
in 1991. The last formal evaluation of
the program occurred as part of the 1991
survey.
CDC proposes a new project to
evaluate the PMR/F. The goals of the
evaluation are to determine: (1) How
well PMR/F is fulfilling its mission to
train competent public health
practitioners and leaders, (2) the
effectiveness of the PMR/F educational
program, and (3) PMR/F’s contribution
to its residents and fellows, the CDC,
and the larger public health community.
As part of this project, PMR/F
practicum alumni and a matched group
of physicians and veterinarians who
were eligible to apply to PMR/F will be
asked to complete a questionnaire to
provide information that addresses the
evaluation’s goals. Below is a
description of the questionnaire’s
response burden.
There is no cost to the respondents
other than their time. The estimated
annualized burden hours are 16.

Background and Brief Description
Preventive medicine is a specialized
field of medical practice that works with
large populations to promote good
health; to prevent disease, injury and
disability; and to facilitate early
diagnosis and treatment of illness. It is
unique because its central focus is
population health. Despite the nation’s
growing need for preventive-medicine
skills, numerous studies have
demonstrated an increasing shortage of
preventive medicine-trained
professionals, and that shortage is
projected to continue (American College
of Preventive Medicine; Council on
Graduate Medical Education). The
specialty will benefit from attracting
new residents, rewarding programs that

improves the monitoring of trends in TB
epidemiology and outbreaks and
support CDC in developing strategies to
meet the national goal of TB
elimination.
In 2001, DTBE initiated a
comprehensive review of the RVCT with
stakeholders and partner organizations.
This review resulted in the revision of
the data collection form in 2007.
The reporting areas use and analyze
their RVCT data to monitor local TB
trends, evaluate program success, and
focus resources to eliminate TB. CDC
uses the RVCT data to monitor national
trends by demographics, risk, and
region. These summaries are published
annually in CDC-sponsored
publications, journals, and are
submitted as Agency reports to the
Congress.
CDC is requesting approval for
approximately 8050 burden hours, an
estimated increase of 490 hours. There
is no cost to respondents other than
their time. The total estimated
annualized burden hours are 8050.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis and about
10% of these persons will develop

in every state. National TB surveillance
has been conducted and maintained by
the U.S. Public Health Service and CDC
through the cooperation of the states
since 1953.
Data are collected by 60 reporting

and 7 jurisdictions in the Pacific and
Caribbean). CDC’s Division of
