Proposed Project
National Hospital Discharge Survey
(NHDS)(OMB# 0920–0212 exp. 10/31/
2011)—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 the extent and nature of
illness and disability of the population
of the United States. This three-year
clearance request includes hospital
recruitment and data collection for
2011, 2012, and 2013 of the redesigned
National Hospital Discharge Survey, as
well as a pretest of data collection on
acute coronary syndrome for a
supplement to the NHDS which will be
sponsored by the National Heart, Lung
and Blood Institute.
The National Hospital Discharge
Survey has been conducted
continuously by the National Center for
Health Statistics, CDC, since 1965. It is
the principal source of data on inpatient
utilization of short-stay, non-Federal
hospitals and is the principal annual
source of nationally representative
estimates on the characteristics of
discharges, lengths of stay, diagnoses,
surgical and non-surgical procedures,
and patterns of use of care in hospitals
in various regions of the country. It is
the benchmark against which special
programmatic data sources are
measured.
Although the current NHDS is still
fulfilling its intended functions, it is
based on concepts from the health care
delivery system, as well as the hospital
and patient universes, of previous
decades. It has become clear that a
redesign of the NHDS that provides
greater depth of information is
necessary. Consequently, 2010 will
serve as the last year in which the
current NHDS will be fielded.
Meanwhile, the redesigned NHDS is
scheduled to begin in 2011.
A new sample of 500 hospitals drawn
for the NHDS will be recruited
beginning in June 2011 and continuing
through September 2012 (167 hospitals
on an annualized basis). In 2011, data
collection will begin by collecting the
electronic Uniform Bills (UB–04s) from
hospitals recruited in 2011 followed by
data for all sample facilities for 2012
and 2013. A post induction annual
facility questionnaire to update facility
information will be collected for two
years—2012 and 2013 (333 hospitals on
an annualized basis).
The data items to be collected from
the UB–04 in the NHDS will include
patient level data items including basic
demographic information, personal
identifiers, name, address, social
security number (if available), and
medical record number (if available),
and characteristics of the discharge
including admission and discharge
dates, diagnoses, and surgical and nonsurgical procedures. Facility level data
items include demographic information,
clinical capabilities, and financial
information. UB–04 data will be
transmitted from all 500 hospitals on a
quarterly basis.
A pretest of a survey supplement on
acute coronary syndrome sponsored by
the National Heart Lung and Blood will
also be fielded in 2011. The pretest will
be conducted in a convenience sample
of 32 hospitals (11 hospitals on an
annualized basis) and discharges will be
identified from the UB–04 codes for a
diagnosis of acute myocardial
infarction.
Users of NHDS data include, but are
not limited to CDC, Congressional
Research Office, Office of the Assistant
Secretary for Planning and Evaluation
(ASPE), American Health Care
Association, Centers for Medicare &
Medicaid Services (CMS), and Bureau of
the Census. Data collected through
NHDS are essential for evaluating health
status of the population, for the
planning of programs and policy to
elevate the health status of the Nation,
for studying morbidity trends, and for
research activities in the health field.
NHDS data have been used extensively
in the development and monitoring of
goals for the Year 2000 and 2010
Healthy People Objectives. In addition,
NHDS data provide annual updates for
numerous tables in the Congressionallymandated NCHS report, Health, United
States. Other users of these data include
universities, research organizations,
many in the private sector, foundations,
and a variety of users in the print media.
There is no cost to respondents other
than their time to participate. The total
estimated annualized burden is 3,520
hours.

Notice of the rescission,
establishment, and amendment of
systems of records.
In accordance with the
requirements of the Privacy Act of 1974
(5 U.S.C. 552a), as amended, the Office
of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE) is
publishing notice that it will rescind a
notice of a system of records entitled
‘‘Location and Collection System,’’ 09–
90–0074, establish two new systems of
records entitled ‘‘OCSE National
Directory of New Hires’’ and ‘‘OCSE
Debtor File,’’ and amend an existing
system of records entitled ‘‘OCSE
Federal Case Registry of Child Support
Orders.’’
The Department of Health and
Human Services (HHS) invites
interested parties to submit written
comments on the proposed rescission,
establishment and amendment to its
systems of records notices until
February 4, 2011. As required by the
Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a(r)), HHS on
December 22, 2010 sent reports of the
establishment of new systems of records
(which included the proposed
rescission of an existing system) and an
amendment of a system of records to the
Committee on Homeland Security and
22 Governmental Affairs of the Senate,
the Committee on Oversight and
Government Reform of the House of
Representatives and the Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs of
the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB). The proposed rescission,
establishment and amendment
described in this notice is effective on
February 4, 2011, unless HHS receives

Automation and Program Operations,
Office of Child Support Enforcement,
Administration for Children and
Families, 370 L’Enfant Promenade, SW.,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OCSE’s
system of records, Location and
Collection System (LCS), 09–90–0074,
last published at 72 FR 51446
(September 7, 2007), currently
maintains the records of the National
Directory of New Hires database and the
Offset File database. By this notice,
OCSE proposes to rescind the notice of
the LCS system of records and to
separate the NDNH and Offset databases
by establishing two new systems of
records, the National Directory of New
Hires (NDNH), No. 09–80–0381 and the
Debtor File, No. 09–80–0383. The
NDNH system of records will maintain
records currently held in the LCS’
NDNH database and the Debtor File will
maintain records currently held in the
LCS’ Offset File database. The
separation and redesignation of LCS
records is intended to more accurately
reflect the purposes for which the
records in the system may be used.
OCSE also proposes to amend the notice
of its system of records, the Federal Case
Registry of Child Support Orders (FCR),
No. 09–80–0202, last published at 73 FR
20306 (April 15, 2008). A Notice of
