which children and families live. SDOH 

are the conditions in which people are 

born, grow, live, work, and age that are 

shaped by the distribution of money, 

power, and resources. SDOH contribute 

to health and social inequities for 

groups with disparities in access to 

money, power and resources. Many 

existing ACE datasets involving 

individual-level respondents cannot be 

linked to community-level variables. 

This formative study will link survey 

data with publicly available data on 

structural factors (e.g., minimum wage; 

generosity of unemployment benefits) 

via USPS zip code or other geographic 

indicators. 

CDC requests OMB approval for an 

estimated 3591 annual burden hours. 

There is no cost to respondents other 

than their time to participate.

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 ‘‘Assisted 

Reproductive Technology (ART) 

Program Reporting System’’ 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 April 5, 2024 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 

instruments, call (404) 639–7570. 

Comments and recommendations for the 

proposed information collection should 

be sent within 30 days of publication of 

this notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/ 

do/PRAMain Find this particular 

information collection by selecting 

‘‘Currently under 30-day Review—Open 

for Public Comments’’ or by using the

comments and/or suggestions regarding 

the items contained in this notice to the 

Attention: CDC Desk Officer, Office of 

Management and Budget, 725 17th

Proposed Project 

Assisted Reproductive Technology 

(ART) Program Reporting System (OMB 

Control No. 0920–0556, Exp. 12/31/ 

2024)—Revision—National Center for 

Chronic Disease Prevention and Health 

Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

Section 2(a) of Public Law 102–493 

(known as the Fertility Clinic Success 

Rate and Certification Act of 1992 

(FCSRCA), 42 U.S.C. 263a–1(a)) requires 

that each assisted reproductive 

technology (ART) program shall 

annually report to the Secretary through 

the Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention: (1) pregnancy success rates 

achieved by such ART program; and (2) 

the identity of each embryo laboratory 

used by such ART program and whether 

the laboratory is certified or has applied 

for such certification under the Act. The 

required information is currently 

reported by ART programs to CDC as 

specified in the Assisted Reproductive 

Technology (ART) Program Reporting 

System (OMB Control No. 0920–0556, 

Exp. 12/31/2024). CDC seeks to revise 

burden hour estimates, modify data 

elements collected, and to extend OMB 

approval for a period of three years. The 

revised total burden estimate is higher 

than the previous approval, due to an 

increase in the utilization of ART in the 

United States and the number of 

reported cycles. Data elements collected 

will be modified to remove two data 

elements no longer needed and add one 

new data element to reflect current 

clinical practice. 

The estimated number of respondents 

(ART programs or clinics) is 453, based 

on the number of clinics that provided 

information in 2021; the estimated 

average number of responses (ART 

cycles) per respondent is 913. 

Additionally, approximately 5–10% of 

responding clinics will be randomly 

selected each year to participate in data 

validation and quality control activities; 

an estimated 35 clinics will be selected 

to report validation data on 70 cycles 

each on average. Finally, respondents 

may provide feedback to CDC about the 

usability and utility of the reporting

system. The option to participate in the 

feedback survey is presented to 

respondents when they complete their 

required data submission. Participation 

in the feedback survey is voluntary and 

is not required by the FCSRCA. CDC 

estimates that 50% of ART programs 

will participate in the feedback survey. 

The collection of ART cycle 

information allows CDC to publish an 

annual report to Congress as specified 

by the FCSRCA and to provide 

information needed by consumers. OMB 

approval is requested for three years 

CDC requests approval for an estimated 

297,352 annual burden hours. There are 

no costs to respondents other than their 

time.

CMS–10105 National Implementation 

of the In-Center Hemodialysis CAHPS 

Survey 

Under the 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. 

The term ‘‘collection of information’’ is 

defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 

1320.3(c) and includes agency requests 

or requirements that members of the 

public submit reports, keep records, or 

provide information to a third party. 

Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA 

requires Federal agencies to publish a 

60-day notice in the Federal Register 

concerning each proposed collection of 

information, including each proposed 

extension or reinstatement of an existing 

collection of information, before 

submitting the collection to OMB for 

approval. To comply with this 

requirement, CMS is publishing this 

notice. 

Information Collections 

1. Type of Information Collection 

Request: Extension of a currently 

approved collection; Title of 

Information Collection: National 

Implementation of the In-Center 

Hemodialysis CAHPS Survey; Use: The 

national implementation of the ICH 

CAHPS Survey is designed to allow 

third-party, CMS-approved survey 

vendors to administer the ICH CAHPS 

Survey using mail-only, telephone-only, 

or mixed (mail with telephone followup) modes of survey administration. 

Experience from previous CAHPS 

surveys shows that mail, telephone, and 

mail with telephone follow-up data 

collection modes work well for 

respondents, vendors, and health care 

providers. Any additional forms of 

information technology, such as web 

surveys, is under investigation as a 

potential survey option in this 

population.
