Extension—Division of Global Migration
and Quarantine (DGMQ), National

Infectious Diseases (NCEZID), Centers
destinations in the U.S. Data is
especially limited at the local level.
The purpose of the extension is to
continue efforts to improve the agency’s
understanding of the health status, risk
factors for disease, and other health
outcomes among foreign-born
individuals in the United States.
Numerous types of data will be
collected under the auspices of this
generic information collection. These
include, but are not limited to,
knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, behavioral
intentions, practices, behaviors, skills,
self-efficacy, and health information
needs and sources.
Under the terms of this generic, CDC
will employ focus groups and key
informant interviews to collect
information. Depending on the specific
purpose, the information collection may
be conducted either in-person, by
telephone, on paper, or online. For each
generic information collection, CDC will
submit to OMB the project summary
and information collection tools.
CDC requests a total of 450 burden
hours annually. The respondents to
these information collections are
foreign-born individuals in the United
States. There is no cost to respondents
other than the time required to provide
the information requested.

Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), National Center for
Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious
Diseases (NCEZID), Division of Global
Migration and Quarantine (DGMQ),
requests approval for an extension of the
current generic information collection
Qualitative Information Collection on
Emerging Diseases among the Foreignborn in the U.S.
This qualitative data collection is
needed by DGMQ because foreign-born
individuals are considered hard-toreach populations and are often missed
by routine information collection
systems in the United States. As a
consequence, limited information is
available about the health status,
knowledge, attitudes, health beliefs and
practices related to communicable
diseases and other emerging health
issues (e.g., tuberculosis, parasitic
diseases, lead poisoning, and mental
health issues) among foreign-born
populations in the United States.
Foreign-born populations are very
diverse in terms of countries of origin,
socio-demographic, cultural and
linguistic characteristics and geographic

Proposed Project
Aggregate Reports for Tuberculosis
Program Evaluation (OMB Control No.
0920–0457, Exp. 2/29/2020)—
Revision—National Center for HIV/
AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB
Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
To ensure the elimination of
tuberculosis in the United States, CDC’s
Division of Tuberculosis Elimination
(DTBE) provides cooperative agreement
funding to tuberculosis (TB) control
programs located in state and local
health departments. Key program
activities include finding tuberculosis
infections in recent contacts of cases
and in other persons likely to be
infected, and providing therapy for
latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI).
In 2000, CDC began collecting two
aggregate reports from cooperative
agreement awardees: The Follow-up and
Treatment for Contacts of Tuberculosis
Cases Form and the Targeted Testing
and Treatment for Latent Tuberculosis
Infection Form. These reports contain
only de-identified, summary
information without client-level
identifying information. Awardees
submit the reports to CDC on an annual
basis, primarily utilizing the National
Tuberculosis Indicators Project (NTIP), a
secure web-based system. No other
federal agency collects this type of
national tuberculosis data. CDC uses the
information to monitor awardee
activities, plan national TB control
strategy, and estimate funding needs.
CDC also provides ongoing assistance in
the preparation and utilization of these
reports at the local and state levels of
public health jurisdiction, as well as
technical support for the NTIP software.
In this Revision request, CDC
proposes minor changes to the report
forms, data definitions, and reporting
instructions. All tuberculosis control
programs will discontinue manual data
compilation methods and will
completely transition to electronic
information submission through the
NTIP. In addition, three optional
questions will be added to each form as
recommended by the Association
Council for the Elimination of
Tuberculosis. The optional questions on
nativity, diagnostic tests, and drug
regimens will improve understanding of
the epidemiology of tuberculosis, the
adoption of new diagnostic tests, and
the effectiveness of new short-course
drug regimens in increasing the
initiation and completion of preventive
treatment. These changes will help
programs assess high-risk populations
served and will also address a shift in
the national strategies for TB control
and prevention, which emphasize
treatment of individuals with LTBI and
at high risks of progression to TB
disease.
OMB approval is requested for three
years. Participation in aggregate
reporting for tuberculosis program
evaluation is required by the
cooperative agreement. The number of
funded health departments will
decrease from 68 to 67. The revised
estimated burden per response for each
aggregate form is 2 hours and the total
estimated annualized burden hours are
268, an increase of 42 hours.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: On January 1, 2017, the
2007 Hague Convention on the
International Recovery of Child Support
and Other Forms of Family Maintenance
entered into force for the United States.
This multilateral Convention contains
groundbreaking provisions that, on a
DATES:
worldwide scale, establish uniform,
simple, fast, and inexpensive
procedures for the processing of
international child support cases. Under
the Convention, U.S. states process
child support cases with other countries
that have ratified the Convention under
the requirements of the Convention and
Article 7 of the Uniform Interstate
Family Support Act (UIFSA 2008). In
order to comply with the Convention,
the U.S. implements the Convention’s
case processing forms.
State and Federal law require states to
use federally approved case processing
forms. Section 311(b) of UIFSA 2008,
which has been enacted by all 50 states,
the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto
Rico, and the Virgin Islands, requires
states to use forms mandated by Federal
law. 45 CFR 303.7 also requires child
support programs to use federally
approved forms in intergovernmental
IV–D cases unless a country has
provided alternative forms as a part of
its chapter in a Caseworker’s Guide to
Processing Cases with Foreign
Reciprocating Countries.
Respondents: State agencies
administering a child support program
under title IV–D of the Social Security
Act.

Proposed Project
Aggregate Reports for Tuberculosis Program Evaluation (OMB Control
No. 0920-0457, Exp. 2/29/2020)--Revision--National Center for HIV/AIDS,
Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
To ensure the elimination of tuberculosis in the United States,
CDC's Division of Tuberculosis Elimination (DTBE) provides cooperative
agreement funding to tuberculosis (TB) control programs located in
state and local health departments. Key program activities include
finding tuberculosis infections in recent contacts of cases and in
other persons likely to be infected, and providing therapy for latent
tuberculosis infection (LTBI).
In 2000, CDC began collecting two aggregate reports from
cooperative agreement awardees: The Follow-up and Treatment for
Contacts of Tuberculosis Cases Form and the Targeted Testing and
Treatment for Latent Tuberculosis Infection Form. These reports contain
only de-identified, summary information without client-level
identifying information. Awardees submit the reports to CDC on an
annual basis, primarily utilizing the National Tuberculosis Indicators
Project (NTIP), a secure web-based system. No other federal agency
collects this type of national tuberculosis data. CDC uses the
information to monitor awardee activities, plan national TB control
strategy, and estimate funding needs. CDC also provides ongoing
assistance in the preparation and utilization of these reports at the
local and state levels of public health jurisdiction, as well as
technical support for the NTIP software.
In this Revision request, CDC proposes minor changes to the report
forms, data definitions, and reporting instructions. All tuberculosis
control programs will discontinue manual data compilation methods and
will completely transition to electronic information submission through
the NTIP. In addition, three optional questions will be added to each
form as recommended by the Association Council for the Elimination of
Tuberculosis. The optional questions on nativity, diagnostic tests, and
drug regimens will improve understanding of the epidemiology of
tuberculosis, the adoption of new diagnostic tests, and the
effectiveness of new short-course drug regimens in increasing the
initiation and completion of preventive treatment. These changes will
help programs assess high-risk populations served and will also address
a shift in the national strategies for TB control and prevention, which
emphasize treatment of individuals with LTBI and at high risks of
progression to TB disease.
OMB approval is requested for three years. Participation in
aggregate reporting for tuberculosis program evaluation is required by
the cooperative agreement. The number of funded health departments will
decrease from 68 to 67. The revised estimated burden per response for
each aggregate form is 2 hours and the total estimated annualized
burden hours are 268, an increase of 42 hours.
