Proposed Data Collections Submitted
for Public Comment and
Recommendations
In compliance with the requirement
of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 for
opportunity for public comment on
proposed data collection projects, the
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) will publish periodic
summaries of proposed projects. To
request more information on the
proposed projects or to obtain a copy of
the data collection plans and
instruments, call 404–639–5960 and
send comments to Daniel Holcomb, CDC
Reports Clearance Officer, 1600 Clifton
Road, MS–D74, Atlanta, GA 30333 or
send an e-mail to omb@cdc.gov.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology. Written comments should
be received within 60 days of this
notice.

Revision—Scientific Education and
Professional Development Program
Office (SEPDPO), Office of Surveillance,
Epidemiology and Laboratory Services
(OSELS), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
SEPDPO requests an additional three
years to continue CDC’s use of the
online Fellowship Management System
(FMS) for its electronic application and
PO 00000
Frm 00047
Fmt 4703

directory processes that allow
individuals to apply to fellowships
online and tracks applicant and alumni
information; and a revision that will
allow public health agencies and
organizations to submit fellowship
assignment proposals electronically,
using FMS.
The mission of SEPDPO is to provide
leadership in public health training and
education, and manage innovative,
evidence-based programs to prepare the
health workforce to meet public health
challenges of the 21st century.
Professionals in public health,
epidemiology, medicine, economics,
information science, veterinary
medicine, nursing, public policy, and
other related professions seek
opportunities, through CDC fellowships,
to broaden their knowledge, skills, and
experience to improve the science and
practice of public health. CDC fellows
are assigned to state, tribal, local and
territorial public health agencies; federal
government agencies, including CDC,
and HHS operational divisions, such as
Indian Health Service; and to
nongovernmental organizations,
including academic institutions, tribal
organizations, and private public health
organizations.
FMS provides an efficient and
effective way for processing fellowship
application data, selecting qualified
candidates, maintaining a current
alumni database, documenting the
impact of the fellowships on alumni
careers, and generating reports. This
proposed revision will provide a secure
site within this existing electronic
system for designated employees of
public health agencies and
organizations to submit fellowship
assignment proposals electronically.
Designated employees of public
health agencies or organizations will
answer a standardized set of core
questions within FMS about the
proposed assignments, including the
type of public health agency or
organization submitting the proposal;
proposed fellow activities, including
training and opportunities for service
and collaboration; and how the fellow
will be supported, including the type
and extent of mentorship and
supervision the fellow will receive.
This revision enhances FMS to
include a function that will result in a
standardized process for submitting and
reviewing host assignment proposals
across fellowships. The electronic
assignment proposal process that FMS
provides optimizes the matching of
qualified fellowship candidates with
host sites and will result in an optimal
fit between fellows and their
assignments — ultimately leading to

long-term employment and sustained
public health capacity of state and local
health departments and other nonfederal public health agencies and
organizations.
The annual burden table has been
updated to reflect the number of
respondents from nonfederal public
health agencies or organizations that
submit assignment proposals to host
fellows. There is no cost to respondents
other than their time.

burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology. Written comments should
be received within 60 days of this
notice.
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
2012–2014 for the continuous NSFG.
The National Survey of Family
Growth (NSFG) was conducted
periodically between 1973 and 2002,
continuously in 2006–2010, and
continuously starting in Fall 2011, 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 77 percent for both
males and females.
The NSFG program produces
descriptive statistics which measure
factors associated with birth and
PO 00000

pregnancy rates, including
contraception, infertility, marriage,
divorce, and sexual activity, in the US
population 15–44 years; 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 ten 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
Children’s Bureau (DHHS/ACF/CB); the
ACF’s Office of Planning, Research, and
Evaluation; the CDC’s Division of HIV/
AIDS Prevention (CDC/DHAP); the
CDC’s Division of STD Prevention
(CDC/DSTD); the CDC’s Division of
Reproductive Health (CDC/DRH); the
CDC’s Division of Cancer Prevention
and Control (CDC/DCPC); and the CDC’s
Division of Birth Defects and
Developmental Disabilities (DBDDD).
The NSFG is also used by state and local
governments; private research and
action organizations focused on men’s
and women’s health, child well-being,
marriage and the family; academic
researchers in the social and public
health sciences; journalists, and many
others.
This submission requests approval for
three years. No questionnaire changes
are requested in the first 18 months of
this clearance; some limited changes
may be requested after that, to be
responsive to emerging public policy
issues.
There is no cost to respondents other
than their time.
