In addition to the application materials, an applicant also is required to publish a notice in a newspaper of general circulation in the community where the head office of the bank to be acquired is located. The notice must state the name and address of the applicant and its proposed subsidiary, and it must invite the public to submit written comments to the appropriate Federal Reserve Bank.

    National Vital Statistics Report Forms (OMB Control Number 0920-
0213, expires 04/30/2018)--Revision-- National Center for Health 
Statistics (NCHS, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The compilation of national vital statistics dates back to the 
beginning of the 20th century and has been conducted since 1960 by the 
Division of Vital Statistics of the National Center for Health 
Statistics, CDC. The collection of the data is authorized by 42 U.S.C. 
242k. This submission requests approval to collect the monthly and 
annually summary statistics for three years.
    The Monthly Vital Statistics Report forms provide counts of monthly 
occurrences of births, deaths, and infant deaths. Similar data have 
been published since 1937 and are the sole source of these data at the 
National level. The data are used by the Department of Health and Human 
Services and by other government, academic, and private research and 
commercial organizations in tracking changes in trends of vital events. 
Respondents for the Monthly Vital Statistics Reports Form are 
registration officials in each State and Territory, the District of 
Columbia, and New York City. This form is also designed to collect 
counts of monthly occurrences of births, deaths, and infant deaths 
immediately following the month of occurrence.
    The Annual Vital Statistics Occurrence Report Form collects final 
annual counts of marriages and divorces by month for each State and 
Territory, the District of Columbia, and New York City as well as 33 
counties in New Mexico. These final counts are usually available from 
State or county officials about eight months after the end of the data 
year. The data are widely used by government, academic, private 
research, and commercial organizations in tracking changes in trends of 
family formation and dissolution.
    This submission contains no changes to the actual data collection 
forms. However, the respondent numbers for the monthly and annual forms 
have shifted from 91 and 58 respectively to 58 and 91, since the 33 New 
Mexico Counties only send marriage and divorce information that is now 
only captured in the annual report. Consequently, the total burden has 
been reduced from 175 hours to 139 hours.
    There are no costs to respondents other than their time.
