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 ``Data Collection for the Residential Care
Community and Adult Day Service Center Components of the National Post-
acute and Long-term Care Study'' 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 May 7, 2024 to obtain comments from the public and affected
agencies. CDC did not receive 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
Data Collection for the Residential Care Community and Adult Day
Service Center Components of the National Post-acute and Long-term Care
Study (OMB Control No. 0920-0943 Exp. 07/31/2025)--Revision--National
Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The NPALS is designed to: (1) broaden NCHS' ongoing coverage of
paid, regulated long-term care (LTC) providers; (2) present alongside
existing administrative data on LTC providers and service users (i.e.,
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) data on inpatient
rehabilitation facilities and patients, long-term care hospitals and
patients, nursing homes and residents, home health agencies and
patients, and hospices and patients); (3) update data more frequently
on LTC providers and service users for which nationally representative
administrative data do not exist; and (4) enable comparisons across LTC
sectors and timely monitoring of supply and use of these sectors over
time.
Data will be collected from two types of LTC providers in the 50
states and the District of Columbia: 11,600 Residential Care
Communities (RCC) and 5,500 Adult Day Service Centers (ADSC). Data were
collected in 2012, 2014, 2016, 2018, 2020, and 2022. The data to be
collected in 2024 include the basic characteristics, services,
staffing, and practices of RCCs and ADSCs, and aggregate-level
distributions of the demographics, selected health conditions and
health care utilization,
[[Page 60635]]
physical functioning, and cognitive functioning of RCC residents and
ADSC participants.
Expected users of data from this collection effort include, but are
not limited to CDC; other Department of Health and Human Services
(DHHS) agencies, such as the Office of the Assistant Secretary for
Planning and Evaluation, The Administration for Community Living, and
the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality; associations, such as
LeadingAge, National Center for Assisted Living, American Seniors
Housing Association, Argentum, and National Adult Day Services
Association; universities; foundations; and other private sector
organizations such as the Alzheimer's Association and the AARP Public
Policy Institute.
Expected burden from data collection for eligible cases is 30
minutes per respondent. An estimated 5% of RCC and ADSC respondents
will have an additional five minutes of burden to complete a data
retrieval call. We calculated the burden based on a 100% response rate.
A two-year clearance is requested to cover the collection of data. The
burden for the collection is shown in Table below and totals 4,311
hours annually. There is no cost to respondents other than their time
to participate.
