SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A Special
Emphasis Panel is a group of experts in
fields related to health care research
who are invited by the Agency for
Healthcare Research and Quality
(AHRQ), and agree to be available, to
conduct on an as needed basis,
scientific reviews of applications for
AHRQ support. Individual members of
the Panel do not attend regularlyscheduled meetings and do not serve for
fixed terms or a long period of time.
Rather, they are asked to participate in
particular review meetings which
require their type of expertise.
Substantial segments of the SEP
meeting referenced above will be closed
to the public in accordance with the
provisions set forth in 5 U.S.C. App. 2,
section 10(d), 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(4), and 5
U.S.C. 552b(c)(6). Grant applications for
‘‘Partnerships for Sustainable Research
and Dissemination of Evidence-Based
Medicine (R24)’’ are to be reviewed and
discussed at this meeting. The grant
applications and the discussions could
disclose confidential trade secrets or
commercial property such as patentable
material, and personal information
concerning individuals associated with
the grant applications, the disclosure of
which would constitute a clearly
unwarranted invasion of personal
privacy.

Proposed Project
The National Health and Nutrition
Examination Survey (NHANES)—
(0920–0237, Expiration 11/30/2012)—
Extension—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; environmental,
social and other health hazards; and
determinants of health of the population
of the United States.
The National Health and Nutrition
Examination Survey (NHANES) has, to
date, been authorized as a generic
clearance under OMB Number 0920–
0237. A change in accounting practices,
however, requires a shift to a newlyassigned clearance number for future
full cycles of the survey. This extension
requests generic clearance for all
activities needed to successfully
complete the current 2011–2012
NHANES survey cycle, which ends in
early 2013. There are no changes to any
information collection forms. A nine
month clearance is requested.
The National Health and Nutrition
Examination Survey (NHANES) was
conducted periodically between 1970
and 1994, and continuously since 1999
by the National Center for Health
Statistics, CDC.
Approximately one-quarter year of
data collection is needed to complete
the 2011–2012 cycle. Approximately
3,850 respondents participate in some
aspect of the full survey. Of these, some
complete the screening portion and are
then screened out of the sample. Some
additional respondents complete the
screener and the household interview
sections, but decline to be examined.
The remaining approximately 1,300
participate in the screener, household
interview and physical examination and
followups. Averaging the burden across
all respondents, at these varying levels
of participation, results in an average
burden of 2.4 hours. The burden for this
activity is 9,240 hours.
PO 00000
Frm 00028
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
The completion of the special study,
National Youth Fitness Study, will have
approximately 1,037 respondents in this
quarter for a total burden of 1,037 hours.
In addition, up to 1,000 additional
persons (non-NHANES respondents)
might participate in tests of procedures
or other special studies. The average
burden for these special study/pretest
respondents is 3 hours for a total of
3,000 hours of burden. The burden for
these studies is a total of 4,037 hours.
Participation in NHANES is
completely voluntary and confidential.
NHANES programs produce
descriptive statistics which measure the
health and nutrition status of the
general population. Through the use of
questionnaires, physical examinations,
and laboratory tests, NHANES studies
the relationship between diet, nutrition
and health in a representative sample of
the United States. NHANES monitors
the prevalence of chronic conditions
and risk factors related to health such as
arthritis, asthma, osteoporosis,
infectious diseases, diabetes, high blood
pressure, high cholesterol, obesity,
smoking, drug and alcohol use, physical
activity, environmental exposures, and
diet. NHANES data are used to produce
national reference data on height,
weight, and nutrient levels in the blood.
Results from more recent NHANES can
be compared to findings reported from
previous surveys to monitor changes in
the health of the U.S. population over
time. NHANES continues to collect
genetic material on a national
probability sample for future genetic
research aimed at understanding disease
susceptibility in the U.S. population.
NCHS collects personal identification
information. Participant level data items
will include basic demographic
information, name, address, social
security number, Medicare number and
participant health information to allow
for linkages to other data sources such
as the National Death Index and data
from the Centers for Medicare and
Medicaid Services (CMS).
NHANES data users include the U.S.
Congress; numerous Federal agencies
such as other branches of the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention, the
National Institutes of Health, and the
United States Department of
Agriculture; private groups such as the
American Heart Association; schools of
public health; and private businesses.
There is no cost to respondents other
than their time. The total estimate of
annualized burden is 13,277 hours.
