OIRA Conclusion Action: Approved with change	Conclusion Date: 09/28/2018
Retrieve Notice of Action (NOA)	Date Received in OIRA: 08/29/2018
Terms of Clearance: Previous terms continue: 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 336 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. The goal of the data collection is to determine TB rates in immigrant and refugee populations migrating to the US. Data are used to improve the quality of TB screening overseas and assess the impact of CDC's TB Technical Instructions.
