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 ``Research Data Center Proposal for Access to
Confidential Data for NCHS'' 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 December 3, 2024 to obtain comments from the public and
affected agencies. CDC received one comment related to the previous
notice 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

National Center for Health Statistics (OMB Control No. 0920-1363, Exp.
4/30/2025)--Reinstatement--National Center for Health Statistics
(NCHS), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Section 306(b)(4) of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C.
242k(b)(4)), as amended, authorizes the Secretary of Health and Human
Services (DHHS), acting through NCHS, to receive requests for providing
data and statistics to the public. NCHS receives requests for
confidential data from the public through the Research Data Center
Proposal for Access to Confidential Data. This is a request for an
Extension from OMB to collect information via the Researcher Data
Center proposal over the next three years at an overall burden rate of
990 burden hours.
As part of a comprehensive data dissemination program, the Research
Data Center (RDC), National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS),
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), requires prospective
researchers who need access to confidential data to complete a research
proposal. Researchers self-select whether they need access to
confidential data to answer their research questions. The RDC requires
the researcher to complete a research proposal so NCHS understands the
research proposed, whether confidential data are available to address
the research questions, how the confidential data will be used and what
data outputs the researcher needs to satisfy their project. The
completed proposal is sent to NCHS for adjudication on whether the
proposed research is possible.
To capture the information needed to adjudicate researchers' need
for access to confidential NCHS data, this request allows for both
respondents and time per response for a total estimated annual burden
total of 330 hours (990 hours for a three-year clearance period). There
is no cost to respondents other than their time to complete the
proposal. The resulting information will be for NCHS internal use.
