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 three-year clearance request includes the data collection in 2009–2012 for the continuous NSFG. The major change in this revision is an increase in the burden hours. This is due to the fact that the 2006 clearance contained a small pretest and two years of the full survey. This submission contains three years of the full survey which causes an increase in burden. No questionnaire changes are requested through 2010; some limited changes may be requested after that, to be responsive to emerging public policy issues. The National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG) was conducted periodically between 1973 and 2002, and continuously since 2006, by the National Center for Health Statistics, CDC. Each year, about 14,000 households are screened, with about 5,000 participants interviewed annually. Participation in the NSFG is completely voluntary and confidential. Interviews average 60 minutes for males and 80 minutes for females. The response rate since 2006 is about 75 percent for both males and females. The NSFG program produces descriptive statistics which measure factors associated with birth and pregnancy rates, including contraception, infertility, marriage, divorce, and sexual activity, in the U.S. population 15–44; and behaviors that affect the risk of sexually transmitted diseases (STD), including HIV, and the medical care associated with contraception, infertility, and pregnancy and childbirth. NSFG data users include the DHHS programs that fund it, including CDC/ NCHS and seven others (The Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute for Child Health and Human Development (NIH/NICHD); the Office of Population Affairs (DHHS/OPA); the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation (DHHS/OASPE); the Administrations for Children and Families; the Children’s Bureau (DHHS/ ACF/CB); the CDC’s Division of HIV/ AIDS Prevention (CDC/DHAP); the CDC’s Division of STD Prevention (CDC/DSTD); and the CDC’s Division of E:\FR\FM\10MRN1.SGM 10MRN1 10252 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 45 / Tuesday, March 10, 2009 / Notices Reproductive Health (CDC/DRH)).

Proposed Project:

    The National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG), (0920-0314)--
Revision--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 three-year clearance request includes the data 
collection in 2009-2012 for the continuous NSFG. The major change in 
this revision is an increase in the burden hours. This is due to the 
fact that the 2006 clearance contained a small pretest and two years of 
the full survey. This submission contains three years of the full 
survey which causes an increase in burden. No questionnaire changes are 
requested through 2010; some limited changes may be requested after 
that, to be responsive to emerging public policy issues.
    The National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG) was conducted 
periodically between 1973 and 2002, and continuously since 2006, by the 
National Center for Health Statistics, CDC. Each year, about 14,000 
households are screened, with about 5,000 participants interviewed 
annually. Participation in the NSFG is completely voluntary and 
confidential. Interviews average 60 minutes for males and 80 minutes 
for females. The response rate since 2006 is about 75 percent for both 
males and females.
    The NSFG program produces descriptive statistics which measure 
factors associated with birth and pregnancy rates, including 
contraception, infertility, marriage, divorce, and sexual activity, in 
the U.S. population 15-44; and behaviors that affect the risk of 
sexually transmitted diseases (STD), including HIV, and the medical 
care associated with contraception, infertility, and pregnancy and 
childbirth.
    NSFG data users include the DHHS programs that fund it, including 
CDC/NCHS and seven others (The Eunice Kennedy Shriver National 
Institute for Child Health and Human Development (NIH/NICHD); the 
Office of Population Affairs (DHHS/OPA); the Office of the Assistant 
Secretary for Planning and Evaluation (DHHS/OASPE); the Administrations 
for Children and Families; the Children's Bureau (DHHS/ACF/CB); the

local governments; private research and action organizations focused on 
men's and women's health, child well-being, and marriage and the 
family; academic researchers in the social and public health sciences; 
journalists, and many others.
    There is no cost to respondents other than their time. The total 
estimated annualized burden hours are 7,442.
