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 The National 

Survey of Family Growth (NSFG) 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 June 10, 2021 to obtain 

comments from the public and affected 

agencies. CDC received one nonsubstantive comment 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 

search function. Direct written 

comments and/or suggestions regarding 

the items contained in this notice to the 

Attention: CDC Desk Officer, Office of 

Management and Budget, 725 17th 

Street NW, Washington, DC 20503 or by

Proposed Project 

The National Survey of Family 

Growth (NSFG) (OMB Control No. 

0920–0314, Exp. 06/30/2021)— 

Reinstatement with Change—National 

Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), 

Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

Section 306 of the Public Health 

Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C. 242k), as 

amended, authorizes that the Secretary 

of Health and Human Services (DHHS), 

acting through NCHS, shall collect 

statistics on ‘‘family formation, growth, 

and dissolution,’’ as well as 

‘‘determinants of health’’ and 

‘‘utilization of health care’’ in the 

United States. This information 

collection request includes the data 

collection in 2022–2024 for the 

continuous National Survey of Family 

Growth (NSFG). 

The NSFG was conducted 

periodically between 1973 and 2002, 

continuously in 2006–2010, and after a 

break of 15 months, continuously in 

2011–2019, by the National Center for 

Health Statistics, CDC (CDC/NCHS). The 

response rate during the 2011–2019 data 

collection period ranged from 64.5– 

74.0%, and the cumulative response 

rate for this eight-year fieldwork period 

was 67.7%. 

The NSFG program produces 

descriptive statistics which document 

factors associated with birth and 

pregnancy rates, including 

contraception, infertility, marriage, 

cohabitation, and sexual activity, in the 

US household population 15–49 years 

(15–44 prior to 2015), as well as 

behaviors that affect the risk of HIV and 

other sexually transmitted diseases 

(STD). The survey also disseminates 

statistics on the medical care associated 

with contraception, infertility, 

pregnancy, and related health 

conditions. 

NSFG data users include the DHHS 

programs that fund the survey, 

including CDC/NCHS and 11 others 

within the Department of Health and 

Human Services: 

• Eunice Kennedy Shriver National 

Institute for Child Health and Human 

Development (NIH/NICHD) 

• Office of Population Affairs (OPA) 

• Children’s Bureau in the 

Administration for Children and 

Families (ACF/CB) 

• Office of Planning, Research, and 

Evaluation (ACF/CB) 

• Office on Women’s Health (OASH/ 

OWH) 

• CDC’s Division of HIV/AIDS 

Prevention (CDC/NCHHSTP/DHAP) 

• CDC’s Division of STD Prevention 

(CDC/NCHHSTP/DSTDP) 

• CDC’s Division of Adolescent and 

School Health (CDC/NCHHSTP/ 

DASH) 

• CDC’s Division of Reproductive 

Health (CDC/NCCDPHP/DRH) 

• CDC’s Division of Cancer Prevention 

and Control (CDC/NCCDPHP/DCPC) 

• CDC’s Division of Violence 

Prevention (CDC/NCIPC/DVP) 

The NSFG is also used by state and 

local governments (primarily for 

benchmarking to national data); private 

research and action organizations 

focused on men’s and women’s health, 

child well-being, and marriage and the 

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 178 / Friday, September 17, 2021 / Notices 51897 

family; academic researchers in the 

social and public health sciences; 

journalists, and many others. 

CDC requests OMB approval to 

reinstate NSFG data collection for three 

years, with changes. Each year, about 

13,500 households will be screened, 

with about 5,000 participants 

interviewed annually. Interviews are 

expected to average 50 minutes for 

males and 75 minutes for females. 

Proposed changes include streamlining 

information collection content in some 

sections as well as adding a limited 

number of new questions, including 

questions about childhood experiences 

that may impact fertility and health 

outcomes in adulthood. Approximately 

10% of respondents will be asked to 

participate in a brief verification 

process. Responses to the NSFG are 

confidential. 

In addition, CDC plans to conduct 

several methodological studies designed 

to improve the efficiency and validity of 

NSFG data collection for the purposes 

described above. These include a test of 

face-to-face interview mode compared 

to multi-mode participation that also 

includes a web-based survey 

component; test of an electronic life 

history calendar; enhanced introductory 

and reminder emails to increase 

response rate; and collection of 

auxiliary information to reduce 

nonresponse bias or improve 

nonresponse bias estimation. 

Participation is voluntary, and there is 

no cost to respondents other than their 

time. The total estimated annualized 

time burden to respondents is 6,122 

hours.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In

has submitted the following proposed 

collection of information to OMB for 

review and clearance. 

Generic Clearance for the Collection of 

Quantitative Data on Tobacco Products

OMB Control Number 0910–0810— 

Extension 

In order to conduct educational and 

public information programs relating to 

tobacco use as authorized by section 

1003(d)(2)(D) of the Federal Food, Drug, 

and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 

393(d)(2)(D)), FDA’s Center for Tobacco 

Products will conduct research and use 

a variety of media to inform and educate 

the public, tobacco retailers, and health 

professionals about the health risks of 

tobacco use, how to quit using tobacco 

products, and FDA’s role in regulating 

tobacco. 

To ensure that these educational and 

public information programs have the 

highest potential to be received, 

understood, and accepted by those for 

whom they are intended, the Center for 

Tobacco Products will conduct research 

and develop health messages relating to 

the control and prevention of disease. In 

conducting such research, FDA will use 

quantitative methods (i.e., surveys, 

experimental studies) for studies about 

tobacco products. These studies may be 

used to collect information related to 

foundational research informing 

message development or the formative 

pretesting of tobacco communication 

messages and other materials directed at 

consumers. This type of research 

involves: (1) Assessing audience 

knowledge, attitudes, behaviors, and 

other characteristics for the purpose of 

determining the need for and 

developing health messages, 

communication strategies, and public 

information programs; (2) pretesting 

these health messages, strategies, and 

program components while they are in 

developmental form to assess audience
