evaluation program to assess the ability 

of the laboratories to test for drug 

resistant M. tuberculosis strains. 

Laboratories also have a self-assessment 

tool to aid in optimizing their skills in 

susceptibility testing. The information 

obtained from the laboratories on 

susceptibility practices and procedures 

is used to establish variables related to 

good performance, assessing training 

needs, and aid with the development of 

practice standards. 

Participants in this program include 

domestic clinical and public health 

laboratories. Data collection from 

laboratory participants occurs twice per 

year. The data collected in this program 

will include the susceptibility test 

results of primary and secondary drugs, 

drug concentrations, and test methods 

performed by laboratories on a set of 

performance evaluation (PE) samples. 

The PE samples are sent to participants 

twice a year. Participants also report 

demographic data such as laboratory 

type and the number of tests performed 

annually. 

There is no cost to respondents to 

participate other than their time.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Computer Matching and Privacy 

Protection Act of 1988 (Public Law 

(Pub. L.) 100–503), amended the Privacy 

Act (5 U.S.C. 552a) by describing the 

manner in which computer matching 

involving Federal agencies could be 

performed and adding certain 

protections for individuals applying for 

and receiving Federal benefits. Section 

7201 of the Omnibus Budget 

Reconciliation Act of 1990 (Pub. L. 101– 

508) further amended the Privacy Act 

regarding protections for such 

individuals. The Privacy Act, as

matching by Federal agencies when 

records in a system of records (SOR) are

local government records. It requires 

Federal agencies involved in computer 

matching programs to:
