Abstract: CDC is requesting OMB approval for 3-years to implement a revised data collection form called, Report of Verified Case of Tuberculosis (RVCT)for the national tuberculosis (TB) surveillance system. Respondents to the revised collection remain as before, territorial, state, and local public health departments in 60 reporting areas (50 states, the District of Columbia, New York City, Puerto Rico, and 7 jurisdictions in the Pacific and Caribbean). This request updates the RVCT information collection data collection form to reflect stakeholder requirements and changes in TB diagnostics, drugs, and epidemiology since 1993. In 1993, the RVCT was approved to collect information to monitor factors essential to the reversal of the epidemic, including drug resistance, risk factors such as HIV co-infection or living in congregate settings such as prisons, and TB drug therapy. National TB surveillance system data assist federal, state, and local public health officials and policy makers in program planning, evaluation, and resource allocation. CDC publishes summarized data on TB in the United States annually, which is disseminated to TB control officers, pulmonary and infectious disease experts, and others interested in TB control.
