Proposed Project
Assisted Reproductive Technology
(ART) Program Reporting System (OMB
No. 0920–0556, expires 8/31/2015)—
Revision—National Center for Chronic
Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Section 2(a) of Public Law 102–493
(known as the Fertility Clinic Success
Rate and Certification Act of 1992
(FCSRCA), 42 U.S.C. 263a–1(a)),
requires that each assisted reproductive
technology (ART) program shall
annually report to the Secretary through
the Centers for Disease Control and
PO 00000
Frm 00071
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Prevention: (1) pregnancy success rates
achieved by such ART program, and (2)
the identity of each embryo laboratory
used by such ART program and whether
the laboratory is certified or has applied
for such certification under the Act.
Information is transmitted to CDC
electronically through the Web-based
National ART Surveillance System
(NASS) or NASS-compatible files
extracted from other record systems.
CDC requests OMB approval to continue
information collection for three years,
with changes that will be phased in
during this period.
Information collection will continue
under currently approved procedures
through December 31, 2015. Revised
reporting requirements are planned for
ART cycles initiated on or after January
1, 2016. The proposed changes reflect
CDC’s ongoing dialogue with subject
matter experts including partner
organizations and the data collection
contractor. These consultations identify
changes to the NASS data elements that
are essential to keep pace with changes
in medical practice and other
opportunities for improvement. The
proposed changes to the NASS data
elements will ensure that reported
success rates reflect standardized data
definitions and provide additional
insight into factors that may affect
success rates. Concurrent with changes
to data elements, the NASS data entry
pages will be redesigned for more
intuitive grouping of data items and
improved skip logic that will route users
to the minimum number of applicable
questions. Finally, CDC will continue to
collect feedback from ART clinics on
NASS reporting procedures.

Survey is voluntary and is not required
by the FCSRCA.
During the period of this Revision,
estimated annualized burden will
increase due to an anticipated increase
in the number of responding clinics, an
anticipated increase in the average
number of ART cycles reported by each
clinic, and a modest increase in the
estimated burden per response for
reporting each ART cycle. The Revision
request also includes a one-time
allocation of 40 burden hours per clinic.
This allocation acknowledges the time
needed to deploy the updated NASS
platform and train staff on revised
reporting requirements.
The collection of ART cycle
information allows CDC to publish an
annual report to Congress as specified
by the FCSRCA and to provide
information needed by consumers.
Overall, the proposed changes will
support CDC’s ability to generate timely,
accurate, and relevant information about
fertility clinic success rates and improve
user satisfaction with the NASS
interface.
OMB approval is requested for three
years. The total estimated annualized
burden hours are 116,425. There are no
costs to respondents other than their
time.
