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 June 16, 2025, to obtain
comments from the public and affected agencies. CDC received three
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)--
Reinstatement--National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The compilation of national vital statistics by the federal
government dates to the beginning of the 20th century. To administer
these functions, the National Office of Vital Statistics was
established in the Public Health
[[Page 47762]]
Service in April 1953. In August of 1960, the National Office of Vital
Statistics was reorganized as the Division of Vital Statistics in the
newly created National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), which is
now part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
One of the functions of NCHS is to plan and administer a program to
provide statistics on births, deaths, fetal deaths, marriages, and
divorces reported in the National Vital Statistics System. This
includes promoting the uniform collection of data on these events and
providing technical assistance to the registration areas; conducting
follow-back surveys to expand the scope of national vital statistics
beyond the data available from vital records; preparing life tables and
analyses of life table phenomena; and investigating the quality and
reliability of data and methodology. One part of this function is to
provide national final counts of marriage, and divorce occurrences
following the end of each year. The collection of the data is
authorized by 42 U.S.C. 242k. Provisional counts of marriages and
divorces are disseminated electronically. This form is the sole source
of final counts for these two events.
This data has been published since 1937 and is the sole source of
this information at the national level. The data are used by the
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and by other government,
academic, and private research organizations in tracking changes in
trends of vital events. The counts of events requested on the form are
necessary to the administration of this portion of the program.
CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 46 annual burden hours.
There are no costs to respondents other than their time.
