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 ‘‘National Vital 

Statistics Report Form’’ 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 January 7, 

2022 to obtain comments from the 

public and affected agencies. CDC did 

not receive any 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/

Attention: CDC Desk Officer, Office of 

Management and Budget, 725 17th

Proposed Project 

National Vital Statistics Report Form 

(OMB Control No. 0920–0213, Exp. 10/ 

31/2023)—Revision—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 (NCHS), CDC. The 

collection of this data is authorized by 

42 U.S.C. 242k, and this submission 

requests to continue use of the Annual 

Vital Statistics Report Form for 

collection of annual marriage and 

divorce/annulment summary statistics 

for three years. Additionally, this 

Revision requests to discontinue the 

Monthly Vital Statistics Report, which 

is currently used to provide counts of 

monthly occurrences of births, deaths, 

and infant deaths. The collection of the 

provisional birth and death data is now 

being achieved on a more timely, 

ongoing basis which negates the need to 

continue to use the monthly form. 

Continued use of the Annual Vital 

Statistics Report Form collects final 

annual counts of marriages and divorces 

by month for the United States and for 

each State. 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 the Department of 

Health and Human Services (HHS), and 

other government, academic, private 

research, and commercial organizations 

in tracking changes in trends of family 

formation and dissolution. Respondents 

for the Annual Vital Statistics Reports 

Form are registration officials in all 50 

States, seven U.S. Territories, including 

American Samoa, Guam, Northern 

Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, Virgin 

Islands, the District of Columbia, and 

New York City, as well as the 33 local 

(county clerk) officials in New Mexico 

who record marriages occurring and 

divorces and annulments granted in 

each county of New Mexico. 

CDC requests OMB approval for an 

estimated 46 annual burden hours. 

There are no costs to respondents other 

than their time to participate.

Proposed Project 

Generic Clearance for the Collection 

of Qualitative Feedback on Agency 

Service Delivery (OMB Control No. 

0920–1050, Exp. 5/31/2022)— 

Extension—Office of Science (OS), 

Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

Executive Order 12862 directs Federal 

agencies to provide service to the public 

that matches or exceeds the best service 

available in the private sector. In order 

to work continuously to ensure that our 

programs are effective and meet our 

customers’ needs, the Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) 

seeks to obtain OMB approval of a 

generic clearance to collect qualitative 

feedback on our service delivery 

activities. The information collection 

activity will garner qualitative customer 

and stakeholder feedback in an efficient, 

timely manner, in accordance with the 

Administration’s commitment to 

improving service delivery. By 

qualitative feedback we mean 

information that provides useful 

insights on perceptions and opinions, 

but are not statistical surveys that yield 

quantitative results that can be 

generalized to the population of study. 

This feedback will provide insights into 

customer or stakeholder perceptions, 

experiences and expectations, provide 

an early warning of issues with service, 

or focus attention on areas where 

communication, training or changes in 

operations might improve delivery of 

products or services. These collections 

will allow for ongoing, collaborative and 

actionable communications between the 

Agency and its customers and 

stakeholders. It will also allow feedback 

to contribute directly to the 

improvement of program management. 

Feedback collected under this generic 

clearance will provide useful 

information, but it will not yield data 

that can be generalized to the overall 

population. This type of generic 

clearance for qualitative information 

will not be used for quantitative 

information collections that are 

designed to yield reliably actionable 

results, such as monitoring trends over 

time or documenting program 

performance. Such data uses require 

more rigorous designs that address: (1) 

The target population to which 

generalizations will be made, (2) the 

sampling frame, (3) the sample design 

(including stratification and clustering), 

(4) the precision requirements or power 

calculations that justify the proposed 

sample size, (5) the expected response 

rate, (6) methods for assessing potential 

non-response bias, (7) the protocols for 

data collection, and (8) any testing 

procedures that were or will be 

undertaken prior fielding the study. 

Depending on the degree of influence 

the results are likely to have, such 

collections may still be eligible for 

submission for other generic 

mechanisms that are designed to yield 

quantitative results. 

The qualitative feedback collected 

using this Generic mechanism has been 

a vital source of information that has 

helped CDC improve the services and 

resources provided to the public. The 

Agency is requesting an additional three 

years to continue this important effort.
