Justification for Non_Substantive Change Request

January 16, 2020

Justification for Non-substantive change request: 0920-0457, Aggregate Reports for Tuberculosis Program Evaluation ( OMB approval on 12/03/2019)

,

The Non-substantive change request is being submitted to address the following issues:

1. Since the submission of the ICR to OMB and the subsequent 12/2/2019 approval, some of the language and formatting needed to be modified for 508 compliance approval. 

2. To be consistent with a clarified definition of US-born and Non-US-born persons approved by OMB for information collection 0920-0728, the program revised those definitions in the instructions of 0920-0457. 

3. Lastly, program is disaggregating from “other” categories a new diagnostic test (IGRA) and treatment regimen (3HR) for more informative data collection consistent with current TB diagnostic and treatment guidelines.  

These changes are reflected on (Attachments 3a, Follow-up and Treatment of Contacts to Tuberculosis Cases, form and instructions and Attachment 3b, Targeted Testing and Treatment for Latent Tuberculosis Infection — Form and Instructions).

These changes are minor and non-substantive, with no change in burden hours

Attached are the OMB approved versions of both forms, with changes highlighted so that they are easy to see.  Also attached are clean versions.  Please let me know if anything else is needed.  Thank you for your efforts.
