The National Intimate Partner and
Sexual Violence Surveillance System
(NISVS)(0920–0822, Expiration 06/30/
2014)—Reinstatement with change—
National Center for Injury Prevention
and Control (NCIPC), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The health burden of Intimate Partner
Violence (IPV), Sexual Violence (SV)
and stalking are substantial. In order to
address this important public health
problem, CDC implemented, beginning
in 2010, the National Intimate Partner
and Sexual Violence Surveillance
System (NISVSS) that produces national
and state level estimates of IPV, SV and
Stalking on an annual basis.
In 2010, a total of 16,507 NISVSS
interviews were conducted among
English and/or Spanish speaking male
and female adults (18 years and older)
living in the United States. The data
indicated that nearly 1 in 3 women and
1 in 10 men in the United States have
experienced rape, physical violence
and/or stalking by an intimate partner
and reported at least one impact related
to experiencing these or other forms of
violent behavior within the relationship
(e.g., being fearful, concerned for safety,
post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
symptoms, need for health care, injury,
contacting a crisis hotline, need for
housing services, need for victim’s
advocate services, need for legal
services, missed at least one day of work
or school). Approximately 6.9 million
women and 5.6 million men
experienced rape, physical violence
and/or stalking by an intimate partner

within the last year. The health care
costs associated with IPV exceed $5.8
billion each year, of which nearly $3.9
billion is for direct medical and mental
health care services.
Sexual violence also has a profound
and long-term impact on the physical
and mental health of the victim.
Existing estimates of lifetime
experiences of rape range from 15% to
36% for females. Sexual violence
against men, although less prevalent, is
also a public health problem;
approximately, 1 in 5 women and 1 in
71 men have experienced attempted,
completed, or alcohol or drug facilitated
rape at some point in their lifetime.
Nearly 1.3 million women reported
being raped in the past 12 months.
The NISVSS data indicates that
approximately 5 million women and 1.4
million men in the United States were
stalked in the 12 months prior to the
survey. There are overlaps between
stalking and other forms of violence in
intimate relationships; approximately
14% of females who were stalked by an
intimate partner in their lifetime also
experienced physical violence by an
intimate partner; while 12% of female
victims experienced rape, physical
violence and stalking by a current or
former intimate partner in their lifetime.
Furthermore, 76% of female victims of
intimate partner homicides were stalked
by their partners before they were
killed.
CDC requests Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) approval
reinstatement with changes for an
additional three years to implement the
previously approved pilot tested
instrument of 2013 in the normal data
collection cycle in order to collect
national level data annually beginning
in 2014. The NISVSS survey instrument
had been shortened in efforts to develop
a core instrument that will be
administered on an annual basis. The
goals of the revised data collection
instrument are to: (1) Improve NISVSS
data quality, (2) increase our response
rates, (3) decrease the breakoff rates, (4)
reduce the average amount of time it
takes to complete the survey, (5) and
ultimately reduce the burden on the
respondent.

In this data collection period, 85,000
households will be screened. After
determining eligibility and consent,
12,500 respondents will complete the
survey. The average burden per
screened respondent remains at 3
minutes, while the average burden per
surveyed respondent is 25 minutes. The
total estimated annualized burden hours
are 9,458.
The survey will be conducted among
English or Spanish speaking male and
female adults (18 years and older) living
in the United States. There are no costs
to respondents other than their time.

to publish a 30-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 that summarizes
the following proposed collection(s) of
information for public comment:
1. Type of Information Collection
Request: Revision of a currently
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Generic
Clearance for Medicaid and CHIP State
Plan, Waiver, and Program Submissions;
Use: State Medicaid and CHIP agencies
are responsible for developing
submissions to CMS, including state
plan amendments and requests for
waivers and program demonstrations.
States use templates when they are
available and submit the forms to
review for consistency with statutory
and regulatory requirements (or in the
case of waivers and demonstrations
whether the proposal is likely to
promote the objectives of the Medicaid
program). If the requirements are met,
we approve the states’ submissions
giving them the authority to implement
the flexibilities. For a state to receive
Medicaid Title XIX funding, there must
be an approved Title XIX state plan.
The development of streamlined
submissions forms enhances the
collaboration and partnership between
states and CMS by documenting our
policy for states to use as they are
developing program changes.
Streamlined forms improve efficiency of
administration by creating a common
and user-friendly understanding of the
information we need to quickly process
requests for state plan amendments,
waivers, and demonstration, as well as
ongoing reporting.
