utility of government information, invites the general public and other
federal agencies the opportunity to comment on a proposed and/or
continuing information collection, as required by the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995. This notice invites comment on a proposed
information collection project titled, The National Intimate Partner

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), Federal agencies must obtain approval from
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of
information they conduct or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also requires
Federal agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of information, including each new
proposed collection, each proposed extension of existing collection of
information, and each reinstatement of previously approved information
collection before submitting the collection to the OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are publishing this notice of a
proposed data collection as described below.
The OMB is particularly interested in comments that will help:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected;
4. Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic
submissions of responses; and
5. Assess information collection costs.
Proposed Project
The National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey (NISVS)
(OMB Control No. 0920-0822, Exp. 03/31/2023)--Revision--National Center
for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
This is a Revision request for the currently approved National
Intimate
[[Page 12706]]
Partner and Sexual Violence Survey (NISVS) (OMB Control No. 0920-0822,
Exp. 03/31/2023). NISVS is a surveillance system used to monitor the
magnitude of sexual violence (SV), stalking, and intimate partner
violence (IPV) victimization among adults in the U.S. This Revision is
being requested to continue collection of this data annually. Data are
used by the federal government, states, partner organizations, and
stakeholders to inform prevention programs and policies related to SV,
stalking, and IPV. Additionally, NISVS data will be used in training
programs, peer reviewed journals, technical reports, factsheets and
other media. Datasets are made public for external researchers to use
as well. NISVS data has also been used in the context of health equity
by looking at race and ethnicity and sexual orientation. In 2010, NISVS
collected data for the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) to examine
IPV, SV, and stalking among American Indian and Alaska Native people.
NISVS collected data in 2010, and again in 2016-17 for the Department
of Defense (DoD) to understand the prevalence of violence among active-
duty women, active-duty men, and the wives of active-duty men.
Continuing to document and monitor the prevalence of IPV, SV, and
stalking is a critical step to improving the health of individuals,
making communities safer, and reducing the social and healthcare costs
currently burdening state and federal governments and programs. NISVS
data can be used to inform public policies and prevention strategies
and to help guide and evaluate progress towards reducing the
substantial health and social burden associated with IPV, SV, and
stalking.
The modification in this Revision request is to fully implement the
redesigned methodology and questionnaire for full national-level data
collection. The redesigned NISVS will use an address-based sampling
frame with push-to-web collection and optional call-in telephone
option, increasing the response rate, decreasing costs, and reducing
respondent burden. NISVS data will be collected using address-based
randomized sampling with push-to-web design, whereby respondents will
complete the survey on the internet. A call-in telephone option will be
available to those who prefer to take the survey by phone.
The subpopulation to be studied is non-institutionalized, English-
and Spanish-speaking women and men aged 18 years or older in the United
States. Data are analyzed using appropriate statistical software to
account for the complexity of the survey design to compute weighted
counts, percentages, and confidence intervals using national and state-
level data.
CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated total of 7,938
annualized burden hours. There are no costs to respondents other than
their time to participate.
