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
Youth Outreach Generic Clearance for the National Center for Health
Statistics (NCHS) (OMB Control No. 0920-1185, Exp. 7/31/2023)--
Extension--National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
NCHS is authorized to collect data under Section 306 of the Public
Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 242k). NCHS has a history of reaching out
to young people to encourage their interest in Science, Technology,
Engineering and Math (STEM). Examples of past involvement include
adopting local schools, speaking at local colleges, conducting a
Statistics Day for high school students, and, most recently, conducting
the NCHS Data Detectives Camp for middle school students.
The success of these programs has inspired NCHS leadership and
staff to want to look for new and continuing opportunities to
positively impact the lives of young people and expand their interest,
understanding of, and involvement in the sciences. NCHS requests
approval for a New Generic Clearance mechanism to collect information
for these youth outreach activities and to inform future NCHS planning
activities. The activities include hosting the Data Detectives Camp
annually; hosting Statistics Day annually; creating youth poster
sessions for professional conferences (such as the NCHS National
Conference on Health Statistics or the American Statistical Association
Conference etc.); hosting a statistical or health sciences fair or
other STEM related competitions; organizing a STEM Career Day or
similar activity; developing web-based sites or materials with youth
focus as well as other programs developed to meet future youth outreach
needs, particularly activities that encourage STEM.
Information will be collected using a combination of methodologies
appropriate to each program. These may include: Registration forms,
letters of recommendation, evaluation forms; mail surveys; focus
groups; automated and electronic technology (e.g., email, Web-based
surveys); and telephone surveys.
OMB approval is requested for three years to conduct the Youth
Outreach Generic Clearance for the National Center for Health
Statistics (NCHS). The total estimated annualized burden hours are
1,750. Participation is voluntary, and there is no cost to respondents
other than their time to participate.
