The universe for this study is Englishspeaking U.S. residents aged 18–65. The sample frame will consist of a national random digit dial sample of telephone numbers from a frame of known cell phone exchanges. Respondents reached on their cell phones will be asked to complete an initial CATI survey consisting of a short series of simple demographic questions, general health questions, and questions about tobacco and alcohol use. At the conclusion of this brief survey, respondents who have smartphones will be asked to participate in the feasibility study, which consists of a first follow-up survey and, a week later, a second follow-up survey. Those who agree will receive invitations to participate by text message, which will include a link to the survey. A sample of respondents who have feature phones will be asked to participate in a text message pilot, which also consists of a first follow-up survey and a second follow-up survey. Text message respondents will receive a text message inviting them to participate; respondents who opt in will receive text messages with one survey question at a time. Before initiating the feasibility study, CDC will conduct a brief pre-test of information collection forms and procedures. This study will evaluate: (1) Response bias of a smartphone health survey by comparing data collected via CATI to data collected via smartphones/text messages, and data collected via smartphones to data collected via text messages, (2) relative cost-effectiveness of data collected via CATI to data collected via smartphones/text messages; (3) coverage bias associated with restricting the sample to smartphone users; and (4) the utility of smartphones for completing frequent, short interviews (e.g., diary studies to track activities or events). OMB approval is requested for one year. Participation is voluntary. There are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 306.

list of information collection requests under review by the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) in compliance with the Paperwork Reduction 
Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request a copy of these requests, call 
(404) 639-7570 or send an email to omb@cdc.gov. Send written comments 
to CDC Desk Officer, Office of Management and Budget, Washington, DC

tuberculosis and Nontuberculous Mycobacteria Drug Susceptibility 
Testing OMB  0920-0600 (exp. 5/31/2013),--Revision--National 
Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), 
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    As part of the continuing effort to support domestic public health 
objectives for treatment of tuberculosis (TB), prevention of multi- 
drug resistance, and surveillance programs, CDC is requesting approval 
from the Office of Management and Budget to continue data collection 
from participants in the Model Performance Evaluation Program for 
Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Non-tuberculous Mycobacterium Drug 
Susceptibility Testing. This request includes (a) changing the title of 
the data collection to ``CDC Model Performance Evaluation (MPEP) for 
Mycobacterium tuberculosis Drug Susceptibility Testing'' to reflect 
that nontuberculous mycobacteria are no longer included in the test 
package; (b) replacement of Laboratory Enrollment Form with a 
Participant Biosafety Compliance Letter of Agreement; (c) revision of 
the Pre-shipment Email; (d) addition of Instructions to Participants 
Letter; (e) revision of the MPEP M. tuberculosis Results Worksheet; (f) 
entering survey results online using a modified data collection 
instrument; (g) modification of Reminder Email; (h) modification of 
Reminder Telephone Script; and (i) modification of the Aggregate Report 
Letter.
    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. To reach the goal of eliminating TB, the Model Performance 
Evaluation Program for Mycobacterium tuberculosis and

Non-tuberculous Mycobacterium Drug Susceptibility Testing is used to 
monitor and evaluate performance and practices among national 
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 strains,
