Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has submitted the information
collection request titled ``Aggregate Reports for Tuberculosis Program
Evaluation'' to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review
and approval. The CDC previously published a ``Proposed Data Collection
Submitted for Public Comment and Recommendations'' notice on June 16,
2025, to obtain comments from the public and affected agencies. We
received no public comments. This notice serves to allow an additional
30 days for public and affected agency comments.
The CDC will accept all comments for this proposed information
collection project. The Office of Management and Budget is particularly
interested in comments that:
(a) Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility;
(b) Evaluate the accuracy of the agencies estimate of the burden of
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
(c) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected;
(d) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including, through the use of appropriate
automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection
techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of responses; and
(e) Assess information collection costs.
To request additional information on the proposed project or to
obtain a copy of the information collection plan and instruments, call
(404) 639-7570. Comments and recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of
this notice to <a href="http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain">www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain</a>. Find this particular
information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--
Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function. Direct
written comments and/or suggestions regarding the items contained in
this notice to the Attention: CDC Desk Officer, Office of Management
and Budget, 725 17th Street NW, Washington, DC 20503 or by fax to (202)
395-5806. Provide written comments within 30 days of notice
publication.

Proposed Project
Aggregate Reports for Tuberculosis Program Evaluation (OMB Control
No. 0920-0457 Exp. 1/31/2026)--Extension--National Center for HIV,
Viral Hepatitis, STD, and Tuberculosis Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The CDC requests an Extension of the Aggregate Reports for
Tuberculosis Program Evaluation project, currently approved under OMB
No. 0920-0457, for a period of three years. Extension of this
information will not require changes in the scope of the project. There
are no revisions to the report forms, data definitions, or reporting
instructions.
To ensure the elimination of tuberculosis in the United States, the
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, the CDC implemented two program
evaluation reports for annual submission: ``Aggregate Report of Follow-
up and Treatment for Contacts of Tuberculosis Cases'' and ``Aggregate
Report of Targeted Testing and Treatment for Latent Tuberculosis
Infection.'' The respondents for these reports are the 66 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 electronic report
entry and submission to CDC through the National Tuberculosis
Indicators Project (NTIP), a secure web-based system for program
evaluation data. No other federal agency collects this type of national
tuberculosis data, and the aggregate report of follow-up and treatment
for contacts of tuberculosis cases, and aggregate report of targeted
testing and treatment for latent tuberculosis infection are the only
data sources about latent tuberculosis infection for monitoring
national progress toward tuberculosis elimination with these
activities. The CDC provides ongoing assistance in the preparation and
utilization of these reports at the local and state levels of public
health jurisdiction. The CDC also provides respondents with technical
support for the NTIP software.
CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 264 annual burden hours.
There is no cost to respondents to participate other than their time.
