SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Background 

Section 521 of Title 40 of the United 

States Code ( 40 U.S.C. 521) and General 

Services Administration (GSA) policies 

require the maximum use of excess 

property by executive agencies, and 

provide for the transfer of excess 

property to other Federal agencies and 

eligible recipients. In addition, section 

524 of Title 40 United States Code (40 

U.S.C. 524) and Federal Management 

Regulation (FMR) section 102–36.45 (41 

CFR 102–36.45) require that the 

agencies perform care and handling of 

excess property. Maintaining the utility 

of property protects the Government’s 

investment in that property and saves 

Federal agencies and taxpayers valuable 

resources by avoiding the need to 

acquire new property. 

This notice announces GSA Bulletin 

FMR B–17 which provides guidance to 

Federal agencies to maximize the use 

and benefits of property throughout the 

asset management lifecycle and to 

explain how those benefits are extended 

to the public.

Proposed Project 

Preventive Medicine Residency and 

Fellowship Program Evaluation—New—

Office of Workforce and Career 

Development (OWCD), Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

Preventive medicine is a specialized 

field of medical practice that works with 

large populations to promote good 

health; to prevent disease, injury and 

disability; and to facilitate early 

diagnosis and treatment of illness. It is 

unique because its central focus is 

population health. Despite the nation’s 

growing need for preventive-medicine 

skills, numerous studies have 

demonstrated an increasing shortage of 

preventive medicine-trained 

professionals, and that shortage is 

projected to continue (American College 

of Preventive Medicine; Council on 

Graduate Medical Education). The 

specialty will benefit from attracting 

new residents, rewarding programs that 

fill positions with highly qualified 

candidates, and expanding the specialty 

into new medical leadership roles 

(Ducatman, et al., 2005). 

The mission of CDC’s Preventive 

Medicine Residency and Fellowship 

(PMR/F) is to (1) train public health and 

preventive medicine leaders, and (2) 

maintain leadership in the field of 

preventive medicine training. CDC’s 

PMR/F has been training physicians in 

the residency since 1972 and 

veterinarians in the fellowship since 

1983. PMR/F consists of a competencybased curriculum, a one-year practicum, 

and sponsorship for a Master of Public 

Health degree for qualified applicants 

before the practicum year. PMR/F 

provides its residents and fellows with 

training and experience in leadership, 

management, program development and 

evaluation, and the translation of 

epidemiology to public health practice. 

During the past 15 years, the CDC 

PMR/F has adapted its educational plan 

and design in response to changing 

public health needs, feedback from 

trainees and stakeholders, internal 

reviews of the residency, changes in 

Accreditation Council for Graduate 

Medical Education (ACGME) 

requirements, and a formal national 

survey of Preventive Medicine 

Residency graduates conducted by CDC 

in 1991. The last formal evaluation of 

the program occurred as part of the 1991 

survey. 

CDC proposes a new project to 

evaluate the PMR/F. The goals of the 

evaluation are to determine: (1) How 

well PMR/F is fulfilling its mission to 

train competent public health 

practitioners and leaders, (2) the 

effectiveness of the PMR/F educational 

program, and (3) PMR/F’s contribution 

to its residents and fellows, the CDC, 

and the larger public health community. 

As part of this project, PMR/F 

practicum alumni and a matched group 

of physicians and veterinarians who 

were eligible to apply to PMR/F will be 

asked to complete a questionnaire to 

provide information that addresses the 

evaluation’s goals. Below is a 

description of the questionnaire’s 

response burden. 

There is no cost to the respondents 

other than their time. The estimated 

annualized burden hours are 16.

Proposed Project 

Report of Verified Case of 

Tuberculosis (RVCT), (OMB No. 0920–

0026)—Revision—National Center for 

HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB 

Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

In the United States, an estimated 10 

to 15 million people are infected with 

Mycobacterium tuberculosis and about 

10% of these persons will develop 

tuberculosis (TB) disease at some point 

in their lives. TB is a reportable disease 

in every state. National TB surveillance 

has been conducted and maintained by 

the U.S. Public Health Service and CDC 

through the cooperation of the states 

since 1953. 

Data are collected by 60 reporting 

areas (the 50 states, the District of 

Columbia, New York City, Puerto Rico, 

and 7 jurisdictions in the Pacific and 

Caribbean). CDC’s Division of 

Tuberculosis Elimination (DTBE) has 

revised the Report of Verified Case of 

Tuberculosis (RVCT) data collection 

instrument, which has been in use since 

1993. The increase in burden hours is 

due to the addition of information on 

new clinical diagnostic tests and factors 

to identify high-risk patients. The 

revision captures changes in the 

diagnosis and treatment of TB, and 

improves the monitoring of trends in TB 

epidemiology and outbreaks and 

support CDC in developing strategies to 

meet the national goal of TB 

elimination. 

In 2001, DTBE initiated a 

comprehensive review of the RVCT with 

stakeholders and partner organizations. 

This review resulted in the revision of 

the data collection form in 2007. 

The reporting areas use and analyze 

their RVCT data to monitor local TB 

trends, evaluate program success, and 

focus resources to eliminate TB. CDC 

uses the RVCT data to monitor national 

trends by demographics, risk, and 

region. These summaries are published 

annually in CDC-sponsored 

publications, journals, and are 

submitted as Agency reports to the 

Congress. 

CDC is requesting approval for 

approximately 8050 burden hours, an 

estimated increase of 490 hours. There 

is no cost to respondents other than 

their time. The total estimated 

annualized burden hours are 8050.

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

Title: Descriptive Study of Early Head 

Start (DSEHS). 

OMB No.: New Collection. 

Description: The Administration for 

Children and Families (ACF), U.S. 

Department of Health and Human 

Services (HHS), requests clearance to 

recruit Early Head Start (EHS) programs 

for participation in the Descriptive 

Study of Early Head Start (DSEHS) and 

to conduct a pilot test of potential 

measures. 

DSEHS is a longitudinal study of a 

representative sample of programs and 

children in three age cohorts, which 

will collect information about programs, 

families, and services. When completed, 

data will be collected on a sample of 

approximately 2,100 children and 

families from 60 EHS programs. Data 

will be collected in four waves: Fall 

2008, Fall 2009, Fall 2010, and Fall 

2011. Children and families will be 

followed until children are three years 

old and exit EHS programs.
