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:
8 USC 1182

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.
