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 ``Division of Vital Statistics Proposal for
Access to Restricted-Use Vital Statistics Data for the National Center
for Health Statistics'' 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 two 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

30-day Review--Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search

Proposed Project
Division of Vital Statistics Proposal for Access to Restricted-Use
Vital Statistics Data for the National Center for Health Statistics--
Existing Collection in Use Without an OMB Control Number--National
Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
This is a request for OMB Clearance for the Division of Vital
Statistics (DVS) Proposal for Access to Restricted-Use Vital Statistics
Data for the National Center for Health Statistics. A three-year
clearance is requested. The DVS Proposal has been in use since 1998.
Recently, as part of the Evidence Act work to develop and implement a
federal government-wide Standard Application Process (see 44 U.S.C.
3583) and through OMB consultation, the NCHS DVS became aware that the
DVS proposal was, in fact, an information collection initiative. The
NCHS DVS recognizes this and is therefore submitting this OMB clearance
package to correct this oversight and obtain OMB approval.
This proposed information collection of information is designed to
help facilitate review of the agency's research and will allow the
National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) to determine whether a
research study requires access to confidential data. NCHS anticipates
it will receive approximately 600 proposals annually. CDC requests OMB
approval for an estimated 600 annual burden hours. There is no cost to
respondents other than their time to participate.
