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 Behavioral Risk 

Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), 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 March 12, 2021 to obtain 

comments from the public and affected 

agencies. CDC did not receive 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/

Proposed Project 

Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance 

System (BRFSS) (OMB Control No. 

0920–1061, Exp. 3/31/2022)— 

Revision—National Center for Chronic 

Disease and Public Health Protection 

(NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control 

and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

CDC is requesting OMB approval to 

revise information collection activities 

for the Behavioral Risk Factor 

Surveillance System (BRFSS) for the 

period of 2022–2024. The BRFSS is a 

nationwide system of cross-sectional 

surveys using random digit dialed 

(RDD) samples administered by health 

departments in states, territories, and 

the District of Columbia (collectively 

referred to here as States) in 

collaboration with CDC. Traditionally 

subject recruitment and interview have 

been conducted by telephone. In 2022– 

2024, the BRFSS will introduce the 

option to allow participants to 

voluntarily complete online surveys, 

after telephone recruitment. The BRFSS 

produces state-level information 

primarily on health risk behaviors, 

health conditions, and preventive health 

practices that are associated with 

chronic diseases, infectious diseases, 

and injury. Designed to meet the data 

needs of individual states and 

territories, the CDC sponsors the BRFSS 

information collection project under a 

cooperative agreement with states and 

territories. Under this partnership, 

BRFSS state coordinators determine 

questionnaire content with technical 

and methodological assistance provided 

by CDC. For most states and territories, 

the BRFSS provides the only sources of 

data amenable to state and local level 

health and health risk indicator uses. 

Over time, it has also developed into an 

important data collection system that 

federal agencies rely on for state and 

local health information and to track 

national health objectives such as 

Healthy People. 

CDC bases the BRFSS questionnaire 

on modular design principles to 

accommodate a variety of state-specific 

needs within a common framework. All 

participating states are required to 

administer a standardized core
