Progress reporting through the MIS is required for CDC funded awardees. There are no costs to respondents other than their time. There are no changes to the content of the information collection, the frequency of information collection, or the estimated burden per response. The only change is a decrease in the number of tobacco control program respondents from 53 to 51. Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands were originally funded under DP09–901 but discontinued their participation under the DP14–1415 cost extension. As a result, the total estimated annualized burden hours will decrease from 636 to 612.

Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized and/or included in the request for Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval. Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the VerDate Mar<15>2010 18:01 Jun 24, 2014 Jkt 232001 quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology; and (e) estimates of capital or start-up costs and costs of operation, maintenance, and purchase of services to provide information. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time needed to review instructions; to develop, acquire, install and utilize technology and systems for the purpose of collecting, validating and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; to train personnel and to be able to respond to a collection of information, to search data sources, to complete and review the collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise disclose the information. Written comments should be received within 60 days of this notice. Proposed Project National Surveillance for Severe Adverse Events Associated with Treatment of Latent Tuberculosis Infection (OMB No. 0920–0773, expires 11/30/2014)—Extension—Division of Tuberculosis Elimination (DTBE), National Center for HIV, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description As part of the national tuberculosis (TB) elimination strategy, the American Thoracic Society and CDC have published recommendations for targeted testing for TB and treatment for latent TB infection (LTBI) (Morbidity and PO 00000 Frm 00079 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) 2000;49[RR06];1–54). However, between October 2000 and September 2004, the CDC received reports of 50 patients with severe adverse events (SAEs) associated with the use of the two or three-month regimen of rifampin and pyrazinamide (RZ) for the treatment of LTBI; 12 (24%) patients died (MMWR 2003;52[31]:735– 9). In 2004, CDC began collecting reports of SAEs associated with any treatment regimen for LTBI. For surveillance purposes, an SAE was defined as any drug-associated reaction resulting in a patient’s hospitalization or death after at least one treatment dose for LTBI. During 2004–2008, CDC received 17 reports of SAEs in 15 adults and two children; all patients had received isoniazid (INH) and had experienced severe liver injury MMWR 2010; 59:224–9). Reports of SAEs related to RZ and INH have prompted a need for this project (a national surveillance system of such events). The objective of the project is to determine the annual number and temporal trends of SAEs associated with any treatment for LTBI in the United States. Surveillance of such events will provide data to support periodic evaluation or potential revision of guidelines for treatment of persons with LTBI. On December 9, 2011, CDC published the Recommendations for Use of an Isoniazid-Rifapentine Regimen with Direct Observation to Treat Latent Mycobacterium tuberculosis Infection in MMWR 2011;60(48);1650–1653. Isoniazid-Rifapentin (3HP) is a new biweekly 3-month treatment regimen for LTBI. Since 2011, there have been 28 reports of SAE; 26 of these were associated with 3HP. The CDC requests approval for a 3year extension of the previously approved National Surveillance for Severe Adverse Events Associated with E:\FR\FM\25JNN1.SGM 25JNN1 36067 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 122 / Wednesday, June 25, 2014 / Notices Treatment of Latent Tuberculosis Infection. This project will continue the passive reporting system for SAEs associated with therapy for LTBI. The system will rely on medical chart review and/or onsite investigations by TB control staff. Potential respondents are any of the 60 reporting areas for the national TB surveillance system (the 50 states, the District of Columbia, New York City, Puerto Rico, and 7 jurisdictions in the Pacific and Caribbean). Data will be collected using the data collection form for SAEs associated with LTBI treatment. Based on previous reporting, CDC anticipates receiving an average of 10 responses per year from the 60 reporting areas. The data collection form is completed by healthcare providers and health departments for each reported hospitalization or death related to treatment of LTBI and contains demographic, clinical, and laboratory information. CDC will analyze and periodically publish reports summarizing national LTBI treatment adverse events statistics and also will conduct special analyses for publication in peer-reviewed scientific journals to further describe and interpret these data. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) collects data on adverse events related to drugs through the MedWatch: The FDA Medical Products Reporting Program (OMB# 0910–0291, exp. 6/30/ 2015). CDC is encouraging health departments and healthcare providers to report SAEs to FDA. Reporting will be conducted through telephone, email, or during CDC site visits. CDC is requesting approval for approximately 60 burden hours annually. The only cost to respondents is time to gather medical records and time to complete the reporting form. There are no costs to respondents other than their time.

Proposed Project National Youth Tobacco Survey (NYTS) 2015–2017 (OMB No. 0920– 0621, expires 01/31/2015)—Revision— National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description Tobacco use is a major preventable cause of morbidity and mortality in the U.S. A limited number of health risk behaviors, including tobacco use, account for the overwhelming majority of immediate and long-term sources of morbidity and mortality. Because the majority of tobacco users begin using tobacco before the age of 18, there is a critical need for public health programs directed towards youth, and for information to support these programs. Since 2004, the CDC has periodically collected information about tobacco use among adolescents (NYTS 2004, 2006, 2009, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 OMB no. 0920–0621, exp. 01/31/2015). This surveillance activity builds on previous surveys funded by the American Legacy Foundation in 1999, 2000, and 2002. E:\FR\FM\25JNN1.SGM 25JNN1
