AGENCY: Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC), Department of Health 

and Human Services (HHS). 

ACTION: Notice with comment period. 

SUMMARY: The Centers for Disease 

Control and Prevention (CDC), as part of 

its continuing effort to reduce public 

burden and maximize the utility of 

government information, invites the 

general public and other Federal 

agencies to take this opportunity to 

comment on proposed and/or 

continuing information collections, as

Act of 1995. This notice invites 

comment on a proposed information 

collection project titled National Center 

for Health Statistics’ Research and 

Development Survey (RANDS) during 

COVID–19—Round 3. The Research and 

Development Survey (RANDS) is 

designed to quickly obtain and 

disseminate information about selected 

population health characteristics during 

the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, and 

to provide documentation supporting 

the validity of pandemic-related survey 

questions, including questions, such as 

those on telehealth access and use, that 

will continue to be important for public 

health after the pandemic. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

received on or before April 13, 2021. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) 

(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal agencies 

must obtain approval from the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for each 

collection of information they conduct 

or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also 

requires Federal agencies to provide a 

60-day notice in the Federal Register 

concerning each proposed collection of 

information, including each new 

proposed collection, each proposed 

extension of existing collection of 

information, and each reinstatement of 

previously approved information 

collection before submitting the 

collection to OMB for approval. To 

comply with this requirement, we are 

publishing this notice of a proposed 

data collection as described below. 

The OMB is particularly interested in 

comments that will help: 

1. 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; 

2. Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

3. Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

4. 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 submissions 

of responses. 

5. Assess information collection costs. 

Proposed Project 

National Center for Health Statistics 

Research and Development Survey 

(RANDS) during COVID–19 (Round 3)— 

New—National Center for Health 

Statistics (NCHS), Centers for Disease 

Control and Prevention (CDC). 

9346 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 28 / Friday, February 12, 2021 / Notices 

Background and Brief Description 

The National Center for Health 

Statistics (NCHS) has submitted a sixmonth OMB emergency clearance for a 

Research and Development Survey 

(RANDS) COVID–19 related data 

collection. Since COVID–19 has resulted 

in a public health crisis, this 

information collection requests approval 

to conduct a follow-on survey (Round 3) 

to the previously completed rounds of 

RANDS. Similar to the previous two 

rounds of RANDS completed during 

COVID–19, this information collection 

will use NORC’s AmeriSpeak Panel as 

its sample source. 

The RANDS COVID–19 (Round 3) 

collection will be used for the purpose 

of continuing NCHS’ developmental 

survey methods and will generate data 

that can help explain health-related 

experiences of the United States 

population during this period. The data 

collection includes not only a research 

component, but will also contribute to 

CDC’s ongoing surveillance of the 

COVID–19 pandemic. Given the current 

outbreak and the resulting limitations 

placed on NCHS’ other data collections, 

RANDS will provide NCHS and CDC 

with early estimates of COVID–19- 

related concepts. The questionnaire will 

cover areas such as general health, 

psychological distress, chronic 

conditions, health behaviors, the 

outbreak’s effects on healthcare access, 

loss of work due to illness with COVID– 

19, telemedicine access and use, and 

other health and behavioral aspects 

related to the epidemic. CDC requests 

approval for an estimated 1,734 burden 

hours over the course of the six-month 

approval. There are no costs to 

respondents other than their time.
