Title: Information Collection for Tuberculosis Data from Panel Physicians
Type of Information Collection: Existing collection in use without an OMB Control Number	Common Form ICR:  No
Type of Review Request: Regular
OIRA Conclusion Action: Approved with change	Conclusion Date: 02/23/2016
	Date Received in OIRA: 10/07/2015
Terms of Clearance: Because TB Indicator data is not obtained from a national surveillance system, the database is representative only of TB incidence rates among U.S. migrant populations and not intended to develop country-wide prevalence estimates. This collection is approved with the understanding that when disseminating any data gathered from this collection, CDC will compare the characteristics of the population covered in the database to that of the population to whom they intend to generalize, and clearly caveat the likelihood of over or under-estimates of TB burden.

Abstract: More than 760 panel physicians perform overseas pre-departure medical examinations at 353 panel sites. Screening for tuberculosis is an important part of the medical exam in order to diagnose active TB disease prior to arrival in the U.S. CDC needs to collect TB indicator data to have a more accurate system to collect information on immigrants. CDC had not previously obtained OMB approval for this data collection because it considered panel physicians an instrumentality of the U.S. Federal Government, as they are contracted by the U.S. Department of State to provide medical examinations. This ICR is being developed to bring this information collection into compliance with PRA.
