I. Background
Between the mid-1980s and early
1990s, reports of TB in the United States
increased, after years of decline. This
increase was associated with a
weakened network of TB services; the
human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
epidemic; increased immigration of
persons from endemic areas for TB;
transmission of TB in surroundings with
higher risk of exposure (e.g., hospitals,
prisons); and the emergence of drugresistant TB. However, reported TB
cases substantially decreased in the
mid- to late 1990s with renewed efforts
on TB control and prevention, and a
major focus on resources.
In 2000, The National Academy of
Sciences’ Institute of Medicine (IOM)
issued a report1 concluding that TB can
be eliminated as a public health threat
in the United States with appropriate
funding for additional prevention and
control programs, and development of
new tools.
In 2003, the Federal TB Task Force
(FTBTF) issued a plan2 to implement
the IOM recommendations. A
reconvened FTBTF issued a plan in
20093 specifically for combating
multidrug-resistant TB (MDR TB) and
extensively drug-resistant TB (XDR TB).
Both plans addressed domestic and
global strategies, including partnerships
with global agencies, as well as detailed
action steps and specific agency roles.
II. Purpose of the Public Workshop
The workshop is intended to provide
an environment for FDA, CDC, and
NAID to engage other interested parties
in identifying intellectual and
procedural gaps in the current
development of TB diagnostic tests, and
in exploring models and strategies that
would expedite the development of new
diagnostic tests and biomarkers for TB.
Invited experts will address current
research and its barriers; both regulatory
and scientific perspectives on the
development of new diagnostic tests
and biomarkers for TB; resources for
developing new TB diagnostic tests; and
components of and requirements for a

The
National Flood Insurance Program
(NFIP) is authorized by Public Law 90–
448 (1968) and expanded by Public Law
93–234 (1973). The National Flood
Insurance Act of 1968 requires that the
Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) provide flood insurance. Title
44 CFR 60.3, Floodplain management
criteria for flood-prone areas, ensures
that communities participating in the
NFIP, in Special Flood Hazard Areas
(SFHAs), have basement construction at
the lowest floor elevation or above the
100 year flood elevation, or Base Flood
Elevation. This requirement is to reduce
the risks of flood hazards to new
buildings in SFHAs and reduce
insurance rates. Title 44 CFR 60.6(c)
allows communities to apply for an
exception to permit and certify the
construction of flood proof residential
basements in SFHAs. This certification
must ensure that the community has
demonstrated that the areas of special
flood hazard, in which residential
basements will be permitted, are subject
to shallow and low velocity flooding
and adequate flood warning time to
notify residents of impending floods.
