and Human Services (HHS).
ACTION: Notice with comment period.
AGENCY:
The Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC), as part of
its continuing effort to reduce public
burden and maximize the utility of
government information, invites the
general public and other Federal
agencies the opportunity to comment on
a proposed and/or continuing
information collection, as required by
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
This notice invites comment on a
proposed information collection project
titled ‘‘Gonococcal Isolate Surveillance
Project (GISP)’’. The purpose of GISP is
to monitor trends in antimicrobial
resistance in N. gonorrhoeae strains in
the United States in order to establish a
scientific basis for the selection of
gonococcal therapies and to allow
proactive changes to treatment
guidelines before widespread resistance
and failures of treatment occur.
DATES: CDC must receive written
comments on or before April 6, 2018.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments,
identified by Docket No. CDC–2018–
0019 by any of the following methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA)
(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal agencies
must obtain approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for each
collection of information they conduct
or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also
requires Federal agencies to provide a
60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each new
proposed collection, each proposed
extension of existing collection of
information, and each reinstatement of
previously approved information
collection before submitting the
collection to the OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are
publishing this notice of a proposed
data collection as described below.
The OMB is particularly interested in
comments that will help:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including

Proposed Project
Gonococcal Isolate Surveillance
Project (OMB Control Number 0920–
0307, Expiration 2/28/2019)—
Revision—National Center for HIV/
AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB
Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Gonococcal Isolate Surveillance
Project (GISP) was created in 1986 to
monitor trends in antimicrobial
susceptibilities of N. gonorrhoeae
strains in the United States. Data from
GISP are used to establish a scientific
basis for the selection of gonococcal
therapies and to allow pro-active
changes to treatment guidelines before
widespread resistance and failures of
treatment occur. To increase capacity to
detect and monitor resistant gonorrhea
and improve the specificity of GISP, this
submission is a revision to include
collection of additional isolates and data
elements.
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention has designated N.
gonorrhoeae as one of three ‘‘urgent’’
antibiotic resistance threats in the
United States. The CDC is requesting a
three-year OMB approval for this
revision, which directly responds to the

GISP will also allow CDC to monitor
and evaluate the effectiveness of public
health interventions conducted to
support the National Strategy for
Combating Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria.

Background and Brief Description
This project seeks a three-year
extension to continue the passive
reporting system for severe adverse
events (SAEs) associated with therapy
for Latent Tuberculosis Infection (LTBI).
The system will rely on medical chart
review and/or onsite investigations by
TB control staff. 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. Reports of SAEs related to
rifampicin plus pyrazinamide (RZ) and
isoniazid (INH) 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.
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. 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. Reporting of SAEs will be
conducted through telephone, email, or
during CDC site visits.
