Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has submitted the information
collection request titled ``National Vital Statistics Report Form'' to
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval. CDC
previously published a ``Proposed Data Collection Submitted for Public
Comment and Recommendations'' notice on January 7, 2022 to obtain
comments from the public and affected agencies. CDC did not receive any
comments related to the previous notice. This notice serves to allow an
additional 30 days for public and affected agency comments.
CDC will accept all comments for this proposed information
collection project. The Office of Management and Budget is particularly
interested in comments that:
(a) 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;
(b) Evaluate the accuracy of the agencies estimate of the burden of
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
(c) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected;
(d) 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 submission of responses; and
(e) Assess information collection costs.
To request additional information on the proposed project or to
obtain a copy of the information collection plan and instruments, call
(404) 639-7570. Comments and recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of
this notice to <a href="http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain">www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain</a>. Find this particular
information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--
Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function. Direct
written comments and/or suggestions regarding the items contained in
this notice to the Attention: CDC Desk Officer, Office of Management
and Budget, 725 17th Street NW, Washington, DC 20503 or by fax to (202)
395-5806. Provide written comments within 30 days of notice
publication.
Proposed Project
National Vital Statistics Report Form (OMB Control No. 0920-0213,
Exp. 10/31/2023)--Revision--National Center for Health Statistics
(NCHS), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The compilation of national vital statistics dates back to the
beginning of the 20th Century and has been conducted since 1960 by the
Division of Vital Statistics of the National Center for Health
Statistics (NCHS), CDC. The collection of this data is authorized by 42
U.S.C. 242k, and this submission requests to continue use of the Annual
Vital Statistics Report Form for collection of annual marriage and
divorce/annulment summary statistics for three years. Additionally,
this Revision requests to discontinue the Monthly Vital Statistics
Report, which is currently used to provide counts of monthly
occurrences of births, deaths, and infant deaths. The collection of the
provisional birth and death data is now being achieved on a more
timely, ongoing basis which negates the need to continue to use the
monthly form.
Continued use of the Annual Vital Statistics Report Form collects
final annual counts of marriages and divorces by month for the United
States and for each State. These final counts are usually available
from State or county officials about eight months after the end of the
data year. The data are widely used by the Department of Health and
Human Services (HHS), and other government, academic, private research,
and commercial organizations in tracking changes in trends of family
formation and dissolution. Respondents for the Annual Vital Statistics
Reports Form are registration officials in all 50 States, seven U.S.
Territories, including American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands,
Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, the District of Columbia, and New York
City, as well as the 33 local (county clerk) officials in New Mexico
who record marriages occurring and divorces and annulments granted in
each county of New Mexico.
CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 46 annual burden hours.
There are no costs to respondents other than their time to participate.
