collaborative partners will report
information to their respective health
department (THRIVE awardee), and
THRIVE awardees will provide reports
to CDC. The monitoring and evaluation
plan is based on semi-annual reports of
Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E)
Variables, comprised primarily of deidentified or coded client-level data on
demographics and services received.
The M&E files will be transmitted
electronically. Recognizing that THRIVE
awardees and partners vary in terms of
existing infrastructure, CDC has
established guidelines and
specifications for M&E content, but is
permitting a flexible approach to
electronic reporting. A similar approach
will be applied to electronic
transmission of the annual Funding
Allocation Report (FAR). The FAR is
only required for THRIVE awardees.
Information collection also includes
an Annual Collaborative Process and
Outcome Evaluation based on semistructured interviews and completion of
a questionnaire called the Annual
Collaborative Assessment Tool. These
information collections will allow CDC
to assess how successful THRIVE
awardees have been in creating,
engaging, and sustaining collaborative
partnerships and to understand how
these partnerships contributed to
achieving the goals of the project. Both
tools will be submitted to CDC
electronically on an annual basis.
CDC will use findings to provide
technical assistance to THRIVE
awardees and to develop
recommendations for the coordination
of comprehensive HIV testing,
prevention, and treatment services for
MSM of color.
OMB approval is requested for three
years. Participation is required as a
condition of THRIVE funding and there
are no costs to respondents other than
their time. The total estimated
annualized burden hours are 1,543.

Proposed Project
National Health Interview Survey
(NHIS) (OMB No. 0920–0214, expires
01/31/2019)—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 data
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
from 2017 to 2019.
This voluntary and confidential
household-based survey collects
demographic and health-related
information from a nationally
representative sample of
noninstitutionalized, civilian persons
and households throughout the country.
Personal identification information is
requested from survey respondents to
facilitate linkage of survey data with
E:\FR\FM\29NON1.SGM
29NON1
85964
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 229 / Tuesday, November 29, 2016 / Notices
health-related administrative and other
records. In 2017 the NHIS will collect
information from approximately 45,000
households, which contain about
100,000 individuals. Information is
collected using computer assisted
personal interviews (CAPI).
A core set of data is collected each
year that remains largely unchanged,
whereas sponsored supplements vary
from year to year. The core set includes
socio-demographic characteristics,
health status, health care services, and
health behaviors. For 2017,
supplemental questions will be cycled
in pertaining to alternative and
integrative medicine, cognitive
disability, receipt of culturally and
linguistically appropriate health care
services, epilepsy, and heart disease and
stroke. Supplemental topics that
continue or are enhanced from 2016
pertain to the Affordable Care Act,
chronic pain, diabetes, disability and
functioning, family food security, ABCS
of heart disease and stroke prevention,
hepatitis B/C screening, immunizations,
smokeless tobacco and e-cigarettes,
vision, and children’s mental health.
Questions from 2016 on balance,
Crohn’s disease and colitis, and blood
donation have been removed. In
addition to these core and supplemental
modules, a subsample of NHIS
respondents and/or members of
commercial survey panels may be
identified to participate in short, Webbased methodological and cognitive
testing activities that will inform the
upcoming 2018 NHIS questionnaire
redesign. The aims of these standalone
assessments include pilot testing new
and/or updated questionnaire items,
evaluating the impact of different
categorical response option formats on
answer choices, and measuring
respondent comprehension of health
care-related terms and concepts.
In accordance with the 1995 initiative
to increase the integration of surveys
within the DHHS, 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,
academic, and private researchers to
evaluate both general health and
specific issues, such as smoking,
diabetes, health care coverage, 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, ‘‘Healthy People 2020.’’
There is no cost to the respondents
other than their time. The total
estimated annualized burden hours are
49,000.
