Proposed Project
Model Performance Evaluation
Program for Mycobacterium tuberculosis
and Non-tuberculous Mycobacterium
Drug Susceptibility Testing (OMB
Control No. 0920–0600, expiration date
03/31/2010)—Revision—National
Center for Preparedness, Detection, and
Control of Infectious Diseases
(NCPDCID), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description
As part of the continuing effort to
support both domestic and global public
health objectives for treatment of
tuberculosis (TB), prevention of multidrug resistance, and surveillance
programs, CDC is requesting approval
from the Office of Management and
Budget to revise a currently approved
data collection, the Model Performance
Evaluation Program for Mycobacterium
tuberculosis and Non-tuberculous
Mycobacterium Drug Susceptibility
Testing. This request includes changes
to the Results Form and re-introduction
of the Laboratory Practices
Questionnaire.
While the overall number of cases of
TB in the U.S. has decreased, rates still
remain high among foreign-born
persons, prisoners, homeless
populations, and individuals infected
with HIV in major metropolitan areas.
The rate of TB cases detected in foreignborn persons has been reported to be
more than nine times higher than the
rate among the U.S. born population.
CDC’s goal to eliminate TB will be
virtually impossible without
considerable effort in assisting heavy
disease burden countries in the
reduction of tuberculosis. The Model
Performance Evaluation Program for
Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Nontuberculous Mycobacterium Drug
Susceptibility Testing program supports
this role by monitoring and evaluating
the level of performance and practices
among national and international
laboratories performing M. tuberculosis
susceptibility testing. Participation in
this program is one way laboratories can
ensure high-quality laboratory testing,
resulting in accurate and reliable testing
results.

By providing an evaluation program
to assess the ability of the laboratories
to test for drug resistant M. tuberculosis
and selected strains of Non-tuberculous
Mycobacteria (NTM), laboratories also
have a self-assessment tool to aid in
optimizing their skills in susceptibility
testing. The information obtained from
laboratories on susceptibility testing
practices and procedures is used to
establish variables related to good
performance, assessing training needs,
and aid with the development of
practice standards.
Participants in this program include
clinical and public health laboratories.
Participants register by submitting an
Enrollment Form. Data collection from
domestic laboratory participants occurs
twice per year. The data collected in
this program will include the
susceptibility test results of primary and
secondary drugs, drug concentrations,
and test methods performed by
laboratories on a set of performance
evaluation (PE) samples. The PE
samples are sent to participants twice a
year. Participants also report
demographic data such as laboratory
type and the number of tests performed
annually. Participants report this data
every two years. The burden for the
Laboratory Practices Questionnaire has
been adjusted for the average per year,
since responses are received every other
year. Participants may submit changes
about their laboratory using the
Laboratory Information Change Form.
There is no cost to respondents to
participate other than their time. The
total annualized burden for this
information collection request is 166
hours.

Agency Information Collection
Activities: Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request
Periodically, the Health Resources
and Services Administration (HRSA)
publishes abstracts of information
collection requests under review by the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB), in compliance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request a copy of
the clearance requests submitted to
OMB for review, call the HRSA Reports
Clearance Office on (301) 443–1129.
The following request has been
submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget for review under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995:
Proposed Project: Evaluation of the
State Early Childhood Comprehensive
Systems Grant (ECCS) Program: New
HRSA’s Maternal and Child Health
Bureau (MCHB) is conducting an
assessment of MCHB’s State Early
Childhood Comprehensive Systems
Grant (ECCS) Program. The purpose of
the ECCS Program is to assist States and
Territories in their efforts to build and
implement statewide Early Childhood
Comprehensive Systems that support
families and communities in their
development of children that are
healthy and ready to learn at school
entry. These systems must be multiagency and be comprised of the key
public and private agencies that provide
services and resources to support
families and communities in providing
for the healthy physical, social, and
emotional development of all young
children. Grantees are also charged with
addressing seven key elements of early
childhood comprehensive systems: (1)
Governance, (2) financing, (3)
communications, (4) family leadership
development, (5) provider/practitioner
support, (6) standards, and (7)
monitoring/accountability. ECCS
funding is offered to 52 States and
Jurisdictions.
An evaluation will be conducted to:
(1) Identify and analyze the strategies
that grantees and partners are using to
build comprehensive early childhood
systems, (2) measure the level of
progress grantees have made in meeting
both the overarching Federal goals and
objectives for ECCS grantees and those
of their statewide plans, and (3) assess
the effectiveness of grantees’ early
childhood systems development
activities. The information from the
evaluation will supplement and
enhance MCHB’s current data collection
efforts by providing a quantifiable,
standardized, systematic mechanism for
collecting information across the funded
implementation grantees. The results
will also provide MCHB with timely
feedback on the achievements of the
ECCS Program and identify potential
areas for improvement which will
inform program planning and
operational decisions.
Data collection tools for which OMB
approval is being requested include
Web-based surveys, telephone
interviews, and a Web-based indicator
reporting system. Web-based surveys are
intended to collect information from all
grantees regarding the structure and
functioning of the State Team, the
nature of activities, and perceptions of
progress made in achieving outcomes.
One survey will be directed at ECCS
Coordinators while a second similar, but
shorter survey will be directed at
selected State Team members (5 State
Team members from each State). The
telephone interviews will be conducted
with ECCS Coordinators to collect more
detailed information on how early
childhood services have been
integrated, challenges and successes of
implementation, and how the activities
are designed to improve the lives of
children and families. ECCS
Coordinators will also be asked to enter
information on three early child and
family outcome indicators and provide
a theory of change, or rationale, on how
a specific ECCS activity or set of related
activities will produce a measurable
change in each outcome indicator.
Respondents: ECCS Coordinators and
State Team members from the 52
grantees will be the primary
respondents for the instruments. The
estimated response burden is as follows:
