(404) 639-7570 or send an email to omb@cdc.gov. Send written comments

by fax to (202) 395-5806. Written comments should be received within 30 
days of this notice.

Proposed Project

    Report of Verified Case of Tuberculosis (RVCT), (OMB No. 0920-0026) 
exp. 05/31/2014--Extension--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. 
The purpose of this project is to continue ongoing national 
tuberculosis surveillance using the standardized Report of Verified 
Case of Tuberculosis (RVCT). Data collected using the RVCT help state 
and federal infectious disease officials to assess changes in the 
diagnosis and treatment of TB, monitor trends in TB epidemiology and 
outbreaks, and develop strategies to meet the national goal of TB 
elimination.
    CDC conducts and maintains the national TB surveillance system 
(NTSS) pursuant to the provisions of Section 301 (a) of the Public 
Service Act [42 U.S.C. 241] and Section 306 of the Public Service Act 
[42 U.S.C. 241 (a)]. NTSS has been 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 publishes an annual report using RVCT data to summarize 
national TB statistics and also periodically conducts special analyses 
for publication to further describe and interpret national TB data. 
These data assist in public health planning, evaluation, and resource 
allocation. Reporting areas also review and analyze their RVCT data to 
monitor local TB trends, evaluate program success, and focus resources 
to eliminate TB. No other Federal agency collects this type of national 
TB data.
    The total estimated burden hours are approximately 5,810 burden 
hours, an estimated decrease of 919 hours from 2011. This decrease is 
due to having fewer TB cases in the United States as we continue 
progress towards TB elimination. There is no cost to respondents except 
for their time.
