Proposed Project
National Health Interview Survey
(NHIS), (OMB No. 0920–0214,
Expiration 01/31/2013)—Revision—

(NCHS), Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND

Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork
Reduction Act Review
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) publishes a list of
information collection requests under
review by the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) in compliance with the
requirement of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
To request a copy of these requests, call
the CDC Reports Clearance Officer at
(404) 639–5960 or send an e-mail to
omb@cdc.gov. Send written comments
to CDC Desk Officer, Office of
Management and Budget, Washington,
DC or by fax to (202) 395–6974. Written
comments should be received within 30
days of this notice.
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.
The annual National Health Interview
Survey is a major source of general
statistics on the health of the U.S.
population and has been in the field
continuously since 1957. Clearance is
sought for three years, to collect data for
2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014 and to
increase the sample size for 2011, 2012,
and 2013. This voluntary householdbased survey collects demographic and
health-related information on a
nationally representative sample of
persons and households throughout the
country. Information is collected using
computer assisted personal interviews
(CAPI). A core set of data is collected
each year while sponsored supplements
vary from year to year. For 2011, the
sample size is proposed to increase from
an estimated 35,000 households to an
estimated 40,000 households to provide
more state-level estimates. The sample
size is expected to be further increased
to approximately 67,000 households for
2012 and 2013.
In accordance with the 1995 initiative
to increase the integration of surveys
within the Department of Health and
Human Services, respondents to the
NHIS serve as the sampling frame for
the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey
conducted by the Agency for Healthcare
Research and Quality. The NHIS has
long been used by government,
university, and private researchers to
evaluate both general health and
specific issues, such as cancer, diabetes,
and access to health care. It is a leading
source of data for the Congressionallymandated ‘‘Health US’’ and related
publications, as well as the single most
important source of statistics to track
progress toward the National Health
Promotion and Disease Prevention
Objectives.
There is no cost to the respondents
other than their time. As shown below,
with the increased sample size, the
estimated overall average annual burden
for the 2011, 2012, and 2013 surveys is
55,343 hours.

SUMMARY: The National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH) of the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC) is
conducting a review of the processes of
the National Occupational Research
Agenda (NORA). In 2006, NORA
entered its second decade with an
industry sector-based structure. In 2011,
as NORA reaches the halfway point of
its second decade, NIOSH is conducting
a review of NORA processes to learn
how adjustments can be made to
maximize outcomes through the
remainder of the second decade (2012–
2016). The goal is to look at NORA
processes across the ten NORA industry
