and Artificial Intelligence (AI), lab
science, global health, and public health
preparedness. Members may be invited
to serve up to four-year terms. Selection
of members is based on candidates’
qualifications to contribute to the
accomplishment of ACD objectives.
Department of Health and Human

HHS for final selection. HHS notifies
selected candidates of their
appointment near the start of the term,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA)
(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), federal agencies
must obtain approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for each
collection of information they conduct
or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also
requires federal agencies to provide a
60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
DATES:

information, including each new
proposed collection, each proposed
extension of existing collection of
information, and each reinstatement of
previously approved information
collection before submitting the
collection to the OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are
publishing this notice of a proposed
data collection as described below.
The OMB is particularly interested in
comments that will help:
1. 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;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected;
4. 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 submissions
of responses; and
5. Assess information collection costs.
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 TB Prevention
(NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
CDC requests an Extension of the
Aggregate Reports for Tuberculosis
Program Evaluation project, currently
approved under OMB Control No. 0920–
0457, for a period of three years. There
are no changes to 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, 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,
CDC implemented two program
evaluation reports for annual
submission: Aggregate report of followup and treatment for contacts of
tuberculosis cases, and Aggregate report
of targeted testing and treatment for
latent tuberculosis infection (OMB
Control No. 0920–0457). 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 to 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
source about latent tuberculosis
infection for monitoring national
progress toward tuberculosis
elimination with these activities.
CDC provides ongoing assistance in
the preparation and utilization of these
reports at the local and state levels of
public health jurisdiction. CDC also
provides respondents with technical
support for the NTIP software. CDC is
requests OMB approval for 264 annual
burden hours. There is no cost to
respondents to participate other than
their time.

for Health Statistics (NCHS), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The compilation of national vital
statistics by the Federal government
dates to the beginning of the 20th
century. To administer these functions,
the National Office of Vital Statistics
was established in the Public Health
Service in April 1953. In August of
1960, the National Office of Vital
Statistics was reorganized as the
Division of Vital Statistics in the newly
created National Center for Health
Statistics (NCHS), which is now part of
the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
One of the functions of NCHS is to
plan and administer a program to
provide statistics on births, deaths, fetal
deaths, marriages, and divorces reported
in the National Vital Statistics System.
This includes promoting the uniform
collection of data on these events and
providing technical assistance to the
registration areas; conducting follow
back surveys to expand the scope of
national vital statistics beyond the data
available from vital records; preparing
life tables and analyses of life table
phenomena; and investigating the
quality and reliability of data and
methodology.
One part of this function is to provide
national final counts of marriage, and
divorce occurrences following the end
of each year. The collection of the data
is authorized by 42 U.S.C. 242k.
Provisional counts of marriages and
divorces are disseminated
electronically. This form is the sole
source of final counts for these two
events. These data have been published
since 1937 and are the sole source of
this information at the national level.
The data are used by the Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS) and
by other government, academic, and
private research organizations in
tracking changes in trends of vital
events. The counts of events requested
on the form are necessary to the
administration of this portion of the
program.
CDC requests OMB approval for an
estimated 46 annual burden hours.
There are no costs to respondents other
than their time.
