Abstract: This is a request for OMB approval for a revision of a package, OMB No. 0920-0457. The Division of Tuberculosis Elimination (DTBE), National Center for HIV, STD, and TB Prevention, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is submitting two public health report forms representing (1) denominator-based outcome measurements, (2) technology for data storage and transmission, and (3) the primary public health strategies for tuberculosis (TB) control. The respondents for the reports are the 68 state and local health departments having federal TB cooperative agreements. These health departments control TB by finding TB cases and ensuring the completion of therapy. To accelerate progress toward the national goal of TB elimination, strategies for finding and treating latent TB infection are critical. Two key components of these strategies are (1) evaluating persons who have been exposed to TB (i.e., contacts), and (2) testing among populations that have a high prevalence rate of latent TB infection or a high risk for TB disease (i.e., targeted testing). To monitor these two activities nationally, CDC collaborated with the respondents in designing two Aggregate Reports for Tuberculosis Program Evaluation. The data that are requested by CDC in these reports are not identifiable at the individual level and are submitted only in aggregate format. Both reports are used by the respondents, in conjunction with DTBE, as indicator tools for program evaluation, as approximations of workload, and as general sources for epidemiological analysis. CDC uses the summary U.S. results in assessing the national progress toward TB elimination.

Short Statement: The Division of Tuberculosis Elimination (DTBE), National Center for HIV, STD, and TB Prevention, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), leads the campaign for tuberculosis elimination in the United States. This includes administrating the federal tuberculosis cooperative agreements with the health departments of the 50 states, 10 large cities, and 8 trust territories and protectorates. CDC also provides ongoing technical consultation about tuberculosis control for these health departments. To assist CDC in these functions, health departments have been submitting tuberculosis program management reports since 1961. Two reports, the "Aggregate Reports for Tuberculosis Program Evaluation", replaced several outdated reports and were implemented nationwide in 2000. The changes in these reports corresponded to the evolving national tuberculosis-control strategy and the new data-systems technology.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $26,464
