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 ``Youth Outreach Generic Clearance for the
National Center for Health Statistics (NCGS)'' 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 September 23, 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
Youth Outreach Generic Clearance for the National Center for Health
Statistics (NCHS) (OMB Control No. 0920-1185, Exp. 07/31/2023)--
Extension--National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The National Center for Health Statistics (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.
As stated, these 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). CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 1,750
annual burden hours. Participation is voluntary and there are no costs
to respondents other than their time.
