Proposed Project

    1. Survey to Evaluate the 1989 Revisions of the U.S. Standard 
Certificates of Live Birth and Death and the U.S. Standard Report of 
Fetal Death--New--OMB approved the information collections for the 
evaluation of the 1978 revisions of the U.S. standard certificates and 
reports under OMB No. 0937-0114. The standard certificates are used by 
state vital statistics offices as models in developing their own birth, 
death, and fetal death reporting forms. Data obtained from these 
reporting forms in each individual state are used to compile national 
vital statistics. The standard certificates are the principle means of 
achieving uniformity of information upon which national vital 
statistics are based. To ensure that the standard certificates meet the 
various needs for which they are designed, it is essential that they be 
evaluated and revised periodically. This information collection will be 
used to evaluate the items on the 1989 revisions of the standard 
certificates and to determine if there is other information that should 
be included on the standards that is needed for relevant public health 
research. Respondents will include individuals and organizations who 
are involved in the completion of vital records or who utilize vital 
statistics data and have an interest in the content of the standard 
certificates. The information collected will be used by a group of 
consultants to determine what changes may be needed in the 1989 
standard certificates. The annual total burden hours are 3,000.
