The purpose of this data collection is
to follow-up with and assess newly-arrived persons in the United
States who received overseas tuberculosis classifications in order
to assist in the national effort to prevent new transmission of TB.
Since the last OMB approval in 2018, CDC has made changes to the
collection instrument to enhance quality of data collection,
provide consistency throughout all data fields in terms of wording,
and provide additional options for respondents to select in certain
data fields based on how they used the collection instrument
currently in use.
US Code:

USC 252 Name of Law: PHSA
The number of respondents has
increased due to more applicants requesting access to the EDN
system since 2017. Due to the increase in the number of respondents
and significant decrease in the number of US arrivals with TB
classifications in 2020, the number of responses per respondent is
expected to significantly decrease as well. CDC is requesting
approval of adjustments made for this information collection in
order to provide more clarity through enhancement of particular
fields.
