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 ‘‘Formative 

Research on Adverse and positive 

childhood experiences, social 

determinants of health, and health 

equity among young adults in the US’’ 

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 July 19, 2024 to obtain 

comments from the public and affected 

agencies. CDC received 17 nonsubstantive 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.

Proposed Project 

Formative Research on Adverse and 

Positive Childhood Experiences, Social 

Determinants of Health, and Health 

Equity Among Young Adults in the 

US—New—National Center for Injury 

Prevention and Control (NCIPC), 

Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

CDC requests OMB approval for a new 

data collection titled Formative research 

on adverse and positive childhood 

experiences, social determinants of 

health, and health equity among young 

adults in the US. This study will help 

CDC to better understand the 

relationship between adverse childhood 

experiences (ACEs), positive childhood 

experiences (PCEs), social determinants 

of health (SDOH), and health outcomes 

among young adults from populations 

that have been socially and 

economically marginalized. This is a 

group at high risk for experiencing 

childhood adversity and has been 

historically underrepresented in 

research studies. 

CDC is seeking approval from OMB to 

conduct a one-time information 

collection effort, with data collection 

occurring over a 12-month period. The 

study will include 6,000 young adults 

ages 18 to 24 living in the United States. 

Primary data collection in English and 

Spanish, via a probability-based web 

panel survey, will obtain new data on 

retrospective assessments of ACEs and 

other potentially traumatic experiences, 

PCEs, SDOHs, and health and violence 

outcomes. Sampling frameworks will be 

designed to ensure overrepresentation of 

some populations that are 

disproportionately impacted by ACEs as 

well as underrepresented in research 

and violence prevention programming, 

including individuals with disabilities; 

individuals from racial and ethnic 

minority groups; and individuals who 

identify as sexual or gender minority. 

This project expands the existing 

evidence base and addresses several 

gaps in extant data collection systems in 

the following three ways: 

First, this study expands how ACEs 

are measured. Traditional ACEs 

research has measured eight to ten 

highly interconnected, household-level 

childhood stressors. These include 

sexual abuse, physical abuse, emotional 

abuse, emotional neglect, physical 

neglect, witnessing intimate partner 

violence, parent separation/divorce, and 

living in a home with exposure to 

mental illness, substance misuse, and 

incarceration (hereafter referred to as 

traditional ACEs). However, most ACE 

research does not account for a wide 

array of other potentially traumatic 

experiences that can exist across all 

levels of the social ecology, including 

stressors that uniquely impact 

populations that are socially and 

economically marginalized (e.g., fear of 

deportation; experiences of transphobia; 

exposure to neighborhood or 

community violence). These potentially 

traumatic experiences may have an 

additive or multiplicative effect on risk 

for poor outcomes or may have a greater 

effect on risk relative to the 

conventional ACEs categories. 

Second, this study will create a 

diverse sample which is statistically 

powered to answer questions on how to 

prevent ACEs and mitigate the impact of 

specific and cumulative ACE exposures 

among communities that have been 

traditionally socially and economically 

marginalized. Most samples used in 

prior surveillance and research studies 

do not sufficiently oversample underrepresented communities to allow for 

disaggregation of results by sub-group. 

Thus, there is a need for data samples 

that allow for disaggregated analysis and 

results. 

Third, this study will link individual 

level data to community-level variables. 

While ACEs are individual experiences, 

they are influenced by the contexts in

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.

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
