Proposed Project

    National Vital Statistics Report Forms (0920-0213)--Reinstatement 
with change--National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), Centers for 
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The compilation of national vital statistics dates back to the 
beginning of the 20th 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 U.S.C. 
242k. This submission requests approval to collect the monthly and 
annually summary statistics for three years.
    The Monthly Vital Statistics Report forms provide counts of monthly 
occurrences of births, deaths, infant deaths, marriages, and divorces. 
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 and commercial organizations in tracking changes in 
trends of vital events. Respondents for the Monthly Vital Statistics 
Report Form are registration officials in each State and Territory, the 
District of Columbia, and New York City. In addition, 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. 
This form is designed to collect counts of monthly occurrences of 
births, deaths, infant deaths, marriages, and divorces immediately 
following the month of occurrence.
    The Annual Vital Statistics Occurrence Report Form collects final 
annual counts of marriages and divorces by month for the United States 
and for each State. The statistical counts requested on this form 
differ from provisional estimates obtained on the Monthly Vital 
Statistics Report Form in that they represent complete counts of 
marriages, divorces, and annulments occurring during the months of the 
prior year. These final counts are usually available from State or 
county officials about eight months after the end of the data year. The 
data are widely used by government, academic, private research, and 
commercial organizations in tracking changes in trends of family 
formation and dissolution. Respondents for the Annual Vital Statistics 
Occurrence Report Form are registration officials in each State and 
Territory, the District of Columbia, and New York City.
    There is no cost to respondents other than their time. The total 
estimated annualized burden hours are 211.
