There are no revisions to the report forms, data definitions, or reporting instructions. To ensure the elimination of tuberculosis in the United States, CDC monitors indicators for key program activities, such as finding tuberculosis infections in recent contacts of cases and in other persons likely to be infected and providing therapy for latent tuberculosis infection. In 2000, CDC implemented two program evaluation reports for annual submission: Aggregate report of followup for contacts of tuberculosis, and Aggregate report of screening and preventive therapy for tuberculosis infection (OMB No. 0920–0457). The respondents for these reports are the 68 state and local tuberculosis control programs receiving federal cooperative agreement funding through the CDC Division of Tuberculosis Elimination (DTBE). These reports emphasize treatment outcomes, high-priority target populations vulnerable to tuberculosis, and programmed electronic report entry, which transitioned to the National Tuberculosis Indicators Project (NTIP), a secure web-based system for program evaluation data, in 2010. No other federal agency collects this type of national tuberculosis data, and the Aggregate report of follow-up for contacts of tuberculosis, and Aggregate report of screening and preventive therapy for tuberculosis infection are the only data source about latent tuberculosis infection for monitoring national progress toward tuberculosis elimination with these activities. CDC provides ongoing assistance in the preparation and utilization of these reports at the local and state levels of public health jurisdiction. CDC also provides respondents with technical support for the NTIP software (Electronic—100%, Use of Electronic Signatures—No). There is no cost to respondents.

Proposed Project

Aggregate Reports for Tuberculosis Program Evaluation (0920-0457--Exp. 
9-30-2016)--Extension--National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, 
STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention (CDC)

Background and Brief Description

    CDC requests the extension of the Aggregate Reports for 
Tuberculosis Program Evaluation, previously approved under OMB No. 
0920-0457 for 3-years. There are no revisions to the report forms, data 
definitions, or reporting instructions.
    To ensure the elimination of tuberculosis in the United States, CDC 
monitors indicators for key program activities, such as finding 
tuberculosis infections in recent contacts of cases and in other 
persons likely to be infected and providing therapy for latent 
tuberculosis infection. In 2000, CDC implemented two program evaluation 
reports for annual submission: Aggregate report of follow-up for 
contacts of tuberculosis, and Aggregate report of screening and 
preventive therapy for tuberculosis infection (OMB No. 0920-0457). The 
respondents for these reports are the 68 state and local tuberculosis 
control programs receiving federal cooperative agreement funding 
through the CDC Division of Tuberculosis Elimination (DTBE). These 
reports emphasize treatment outcomes, high-priority target populations 
vulnerable to tuberculosis, and programmed electronic report entry, 
which transitioned to the National Tuberculosis Indicators Project 
(NTIP), a secure web-based system for program evaluation data, in 2010. 
No other federal agency collects this type of national tuberculosis 
data, and the Aggregate report of follow-up for contacts of 
tuberculosis, and Aggregate report of screening and preventive therapy 
for tuberculosis infection are the only data source about latent 
tuberculosis infection for monitoring national progress toward 
tuberculosis elimination with these activities. CDC provides ongoing 
assistance in the preparation and utilization of these reports at the 
local and state levels of public health jurisdiction. CDC also provides 
respondents with technical support for the NTIP software (Electronic--
100%, Use of Electronic Signatures--No). There is no cost to 
respondents.
