Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 140 / Monday, July 26, 2021 / Notices
Background and Brief Description
Section 2(a) of Public Law 102–493
(known as the Fertility Clinic Success
Rate and Certification Act of 1992
(FCSRCA), 42 U.S.C. 263a–1(a)) requires
that each assisted reproductive
technology (ART) program shall
annually report to the Secretary through
the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention: (1) Pregnancy success rates
achieved by such ART program, and (2)
the identity of each embryo laboratory
used by such ART program, and
whether the laboratory is certified or has
applied for such certification under the
Act. The required information is
currently reported by ART programs to
CDC as specified in the Assisted
Reproductive Technology (ART)
Program Reporting System (OMB
Control No. 0920–0556, Exp. 8/31/
2021). CDC seeks to continue OMB
approval for a period of three years. The
revised total burden estimate is higher
than the previous approval, due to an
increase in the utilization of ART in the
United States.
The estimated number of respondents
(ART programs or clinics) is 456, based
on the number of clinics that provided
information in 2018; the estimated
average number of responses (ART
cycles) per respondent is 670.
Additionally, approximately 5–10% of
responding clinics will be randomly
selected each year to participate in data
validation and quality control activities;
an estimated 35 clinics will be selected
to report validation data on 70 cycles
each on average. Finally, respondents
may provide feedback to CDC about the
usability and utility of the reporting
system. The option to participate in the
feedback survey is presented to
respondents when they complete their
required data submission. Participation
in the feedback survey is voluntary and
is not required by the FCSRCA. CDC
estimates that 50% of ART programs
will participate in the feedback survey.
The collection of ART cycle
information allows CDC to publish an
annual report to Congress as specified
by the FCSRCA and to provide
information needed by consumers. OMB
approval is requested for three years and
there are no costs to respondents other
than their time. The total estimated
annualized burden is 219,904 hours.

Proposed Project
The US Tuberculosis Follow-Up
Worksheet for Newly-Arrived Persons
with Overseas Tuberculosis
Classifications (OMB Control No. 0920–
1238, Exp. 06/30/2021)—Reinstatement
with Change—National Center for
Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious
Diseases (NCEZID), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Division of Global Migration and
Quarantine (DGMQ) collaborated with
the Division of TB Elimination (DTBE)
to revise the proposed worksheet to
capture follow-up medical examination
information after a person with
tuberculosis classification has arrived in

the US. The overseas medical
examination determines whether the
applicant has an inadmissible condition
of public health significance (a Class A
condition) or has a health-related
condition that is admissible, but might
require extensive medical treatment or
follow-up (a Class B condition), such as
treated tuberculosis. Applicants with
Class A (inadmissible) conditions can
only enter the United States if they are
granted a waiver. Applicants who have
Class A conditions include those who;
(1) Have a communicable disease of
public health significance, (2) do not
have documentation of having received
vaccinations against vaccinepreventable diseases, (3) have a physical
or mental disorder with associated
harmful behavior, or (4) abuse, or are
addicted to drugs (42 U.S.C. 252, 8
U.S.C. 1182, and 8 U.S.C. 1222 provide
for the physical and mental examination
of applicants in accordance with
regulations prescribed by the HHS
Secretary). CDC highly recommends that
persons with overseas class A or B
tuberculosis receive domestic follow-up
medical examination information to
prevent new transmission of
tuberculosis. This is the primary
rationale for collecting domestic
tuberculosis follow-up information.
The US foreign-born population
continuously had the highest incidence
of tuberculosis compared to the US nonforeign-born population. According to
CDC, the 2019 TB case rate was 14.2 per
100,000 for foreign-born persons
compared to 0.9 per 100,000 for USborn persons. The proportion of TB
cases occurring in the foreign-born
population was found to be
approximately 70.9% of the national
case total. CDC strongly recommends
US-bound immigrants and refugees with
class A or B tuberculosis to receive
follow-up examinations for tuberculosis
in the US.
The purpose of this data collection is
to methodically gather tuberculosis
follow-up outcome data to monitor and
track US-bound persons with overseas
class A and B tuberculosis to assist in
the national effort to prevent new
transmission of tuberculosis. To
accurately determine recent US arrivals
receiving domestic follow-up medical
examinations, US health departments
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:10 Jul 23, 2021
Jkt 253001
will provide domestic follow-up
outcome information to CDC by
completing The EDN Tuberculosis
Follow-Up Worksheet for NewlyArrived Persons with Overseas
Tuberculosis Classifications, also
commonly known as the TB Follow-Up
Worksheet. Without this data, DGMQ
will not have a method of tracking and
monitoring newly-arrived persons with
overseas class A or B tuberculosis.
DGMQ will use information reported on
the TB Follow-Up Worksheet to ensure
that tuberculosis programs are
effectively tracking newly-arrived
persons and coordinating follow-up
medical examinations with state and
local clinicians in the US.
Since the previous approval of the
‘‘US Tuberculosis Follow-Up Worksheet
for Newly-Arrived Persons with
Overseas Tuberculosis Classifications’’
data collection instrument in 2018,
there have been changes made in the
data collection instrument to clarify
wording, add additional options for
respondents to select, and enhance data
collection quality. There are also
clarifications made in the ‘‘Purpose and
Use of Information Collection’’ in
Supporting Statement A to further
clarify information what the data
collection instrument collects. In the
‘‘Respondent Universe and Sampling
Methods’’ section of Supporting
Statement B, there are clarifications
made to explain how respondents gain
access to and use the Electronic Disease
Notification (EDN) system and the data
collection instrument. There is an
increase from 550 respondents to 1548
respondents due to the increase in the
number of individuals throughout the
United States requesting access to the
EDN system to access medical records
for U.S. arrivals, and complete the EDN
Tuberculosis Follow-Up Worksheet for
Newly-Arrived Persons with Overseas
Tuberculosis Classifications for U.S.
arrivals with TB classifications. There is
no change to the burden per respondent
to complete a follow-up form.
Several indicators will be calculated
to measure domestic tuberculosis
program performance, including the
percentage of aliens with class B
tuberculosis with complete US medical
examinations. This program
performance monitoring activity will be
PO 00000
Frm 00064

ongoing throughout the year. State and
local health departments will
voluntarily report evaluation outcome
findings on a continuous basis once
evaluation results for an individual
becomes available.
Data collected by DGMQ will be used
to help evaluate the efficacy and
efficiency of overseas tuberculosis
diagnoses, treatments, and prevention
activities along with panel physician
performance. Currently, DGMQ does not
have an effective method of determining
the accuracy of chest x-rays read
overseas and the aptness of overseas
treatment for tuberculosis. This data
will provide DGMQ with a method of
evaluating panel physician performance
and overseas treatment and prevention
activities. The proposed TB Follow-Up
Worksheet contains sections that allow
US physicians to review overseas chest
x-rays and treatment and indicate any
concerns or errors. A negative
consequence of not collecting this
information is that DGMQ will not be
able to efficiently analyze data to
determine which panel physicians have
the most inaccuracies. Plans for formal
evaluations of US panel physicians are
contingent upon the approval of the TB
Follow-Up Worksheet.
If technical instructions for
tuberculosis diagnosis and treatment are
followed properly overseas, persons
with overseas classification B
tuberculosis should not have
tuberculosis disease during their US
follow-up examinations. The form will
help DGMQ understand what factors
may contribute to a domestic diagnosis
of tuberculosis. The TB Follow-up
Worksheet contains a section that
collects patient diagnoses and treatment
recommendations. Without this
information, DGMQ staff will not be
able to accurately identify and resolve
factors that contribute to tuberculosis
disease. This form of monitoring is
ongoing and will occur with every
instance an alien is diagnosed with
tuberculosis disease during follow-up
examinations.
There are no costs to the respondents
other than their time. The total
estimated annual burden are 2,322
hours.
