Proposed Project

    1. National Vital Statistics Report Forms (0920-0213)--Revision--
National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS). The compilation of 
national vital statistics dates back to the beginning of this century 
and has been conducted since 1960 by the Division of Vital Statistics 
of the National Center for Health Statistics, CDC. The collection of 
the data is authorized by 42 USC 242k. The National Vital Statistics 
Report (renamed from the Monthly Vital Statistics Report in January 
1998) provides counts of monthly occurrences of births, deaths, infant 
deaths, marriages, and divorces following the end of each month. 
Similar data have been published since 1937 and are the sole source of 
these data at the national level. The data are used by the Department 
of Health and Human Services and by other government, academic, and 
private research organizations in tracking changes in trends of vital 
events.
    Respondents for the Monthly Vital Statistics Report Form are 
registration officials in each State and Territiory, the District of 
Columbia, and New York City; in addition, 60 local (county) officials 
in New Mexico who record marriages occurring and divorces and 
annulments granted in each county of New Mexico will use this Form. 
There are no direct costs to respondents; the data are routinely 
available in each reporting office as a by-product of ongoing 
activities. Earlier OMB approvals of this data collection involved four 
separate forms, all of which are combined into a single multi-purpose 
form for this current approval request. The total annual burden hours 
are 418.
