Tuberculous Mycobacterium (NTM)
Drug Susceptibility Testing (0920–
0600)—Extension—National Center for
Health Marketing (NCHM), Coordinating
Center for Health Information and
Service (CoCHIS), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
As part of the continuing effort to
support both domestic and global public
health objectives for treatment of
tuberculosis (TB), prevention of multi-
drug resistance and surveillance
programs, the Division of Laboratory
Systems seeks to continue to collect
information from domestic private
clinical and public health laboratories
twice per year. Participation and
information collections from
international laboratories are limited to
those which have public health
responsibilities for tuberculosis drug
susceptibility testing and approval by
their national tuberculosis program.
While the overall number of cases of TB
in the U.S. has decreased, rates still
remain high among foreign-born
persons, prisoners, homeless
populations, and individuals infected
with HIV in major metropolitan areas.
The rate of TB cases detected in foreign-
born persons has been reported to be
almost nine times higher than the rate
among the U.S. born population.
CDC’s goal to eliminate TB will be
virtually impossible without
considerable effort in assisting countries
with heavy disease burden in the
reduction of tuberculosis. The
M.tuberculosis/NTM program supports
this role by monitoring the level of
performance and practices among
laboratories performing M. tuberculosis
susceptibility within the U.S, as well as
internationally, to ensure high-quality
laboratory testing, resulting in accurate
and reliable results.
Information collected in this program
includes the susceptibility test results of
primary and secondary drugs,
concentrations, and test methods
performed by laboratories on a set of
challenge isolates sent twice yearly. A
portion of the response instrument
collects demographic data such as
laboratory type and the number of tests
performed annually. By providing an
evaluation program to assess the ability
of the laboratories to test for drug
resistant M. tuberculosis and selected
strains of NTM, laboratories have a self-
assessment tool to aid in maximizing
their skills in susceptibility testing.
Information obtained from laboratories
on susceptibility testing practices and
procedures assists with determining
variables related to good performance,
with assessing areas for training and
with developing practice standards.
There are no cost to the respondents
other than their time.

Proposed Project
National Program of Cancer
Registries—Cancer Surveillance
System—Extension (OMB number
0920–0469)—National Center for
Chronic Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The American Cancer Society
estimated that about 1.37 million
Americans were newly diagnosed with
cancer in 2005 and that about 570,000
died from cancer in that same year. The
National Institutes of Health estimates
that in 2005, the cost of cancer was
about $209 billion, including $74 billion
direct costs to treat cancer, and $136
billion indirect costs in lost productivity
due to illness and premature death.
In 2002, CDC implemented the
National Program of Cancer Registries
(NPCR)—Cancer Surveillance System
(CSS) to collect, evaluate and
disseminate cancer incidence data
collected by population-based cancer
registries. In 2002, CDC began annually
publishing United States Cancer
Statistics (USCS). The latest USCS
report published in 2005 provided
cancer statistics for 93% of the United
States population from all cancer
registries whose data met national data
standards. Prior to the publication of
USCS, at the national level, cancer
incidence data were available for only
14% of the population of the United
States.
With this expanded coverage of the
U.S. population, it will now be possible
