Proposed Project

    Report of Verified Case of Tuberculosis (RVCT), (OMB No. 0920-
0026)--Revision--National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, 
and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 
(CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    In the United States, an estimated 10 to 15 million people are 
infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis and about 10% of these persons 
will develop tuberculosis (TB) disease at some point in their lives. TB 
is a reportable disease 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 areas (the 50 states, the 
District of Columbia, New York City, Puerto Rico, and 7 jurisdictions 
in the Pacific and Caribbean). CDC's Division of Tuberculosis 
Elimination (DTBE) has revised the Report of Verified Case of 
Tuberculosis (RVCT) data collection instrument, which has been in use 
since 1993. The increase in burden hours is due to the addition of 
information on new clinical diagnostic tests and factors to identify 
high-risk patients. The revision captures changes in the diagnosis and 
treatment of TB, and 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.
