Proposed Project The National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG)(OMB Control Number 0920–0314, Expiration Date 05/31/ 2018)—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 statistics on ‘‘family formation, growth, and dissolution,’’ as well as ‘‘determinants of health’’ and ‘‘utilization of health care’’ in the United States. This clearance request includes the data collection in 2018 forward 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 September 2011, by the National Center for Health Statistics, CDC. Each year, about 15,000 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 2011 has ranged from 69 percent to 77 percent, and the cumulative response rate for the entire fieldwork period so far (September 2011 through the most current quarter which ended in May 2017) is 69 percent. The NSFG program produces descriptive statistics which document factors associated with birth and pregnancy rates, including contraception, infertility, marriage, divorce, and sexual activity, in the US household population 15–49 years (15– 44 years in survey periods before 2015); 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 eleven others (The Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute for Child Health and Human Development (NIH/NICHD); the Office of Population Affairs (DHHS/OPA); 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 Adolescent and School Health (CDC/ DASH); the CDC’s Division of Reproductive Health (CDC/DRH); the CDC’s Division of Cancer Prevention and Control (CDC/DCPC); the CDC’s Division of Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Obesity (CDC/DNPAO); and the CDC’s Division of Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities (CDC/ DBDDD)). The NSFG is also used by state and local governments (primarily for benchmarking to national data); private research and action organizations focused on men’s and women’s health, child well-being, and marriage and the family; academic researchers in the social and public health sciences; journalists, and many others. This submission requests approval to continue NSFG fieldwork for three years. While no questionnaire revisions are requested, two methodological studies are proposed. The total estimated annualized time burden to respondents is 6,759 hours. There is no cost to respondents other than their time. sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES ESTIMATED ANNUALIZED BURDEN HOURS Number of respondents Type of respondents Form name Household member .................................................................

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background: The Advisory Board was established under the Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act of 2000 to advise the President on a variety of policy and technical functions required to implement and effectively manage the new compensation program. Key functions of the Advisory Board include providing advice on the development of probability of causation guidelines which have been promulgated by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) as a final rule, advice on methods of dose reconstruction which have also been promulgated by HHS as a final rule, advice on the scientific validity and quality of dose estimation and reconstruction efforts being performed for purposes of the compensation program, and advice on petitions to add classes of workers to the Special Exposure Cohort (SEC). In December 2000, the President delegated responsibility for funding, staffing, and operating the Advisory Board to HHS, which subsequently delegated this authority to the CDC. NIOSH implements this responsibility for CDC. The charter was issued on August 3, 2001, renewed at appropriate intervals, rechartered under Executive Order 13811 on February 12, 2018, and will terminate on September 30, 2019. Purpose: This Advisory Board is charged with (a) providing advice to the Secretary, HHS, on the development of guidelines under Executive Order 13179; (b) providing advice to the Secretary, HHS, on the scientific validity and quality of dose reconstruction efforts performed for this program; and (c) upon request by the Secretary, HHS, advising the Secretary on whether there is a class of employees at any Department of Energy facility who were exposed to radiation but for whom it is not feasible to estimate their radiation dose, and on whether there is reasonable likelihood that such PO 00000 Frm 00076 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 radiation doses may have endangered the health of members of this class. Matters to be Considered: The agenda will include discussions on: Work Group and Subcommittee Reports; Update on the Status of SEC Petitions; Plans for the August 2018 Advisory Board Meeting; and Advisory Board Correspondence. Agenda items are subject to change as priorities dictate. The Director, Management Analysis and Services Office, has been delegated the authority to sign Federal Register notices pertaining to announcements of meetings and other committee management activities, for both the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry.

Proposed Project

    The National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG)(OMB Control Number 
0920-0314, Expiration Date 05/31/2018)--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 statistics on 
``family formation, growth, and dissolution,'' as well as 
``determinants of health'' and ``utilization of health care'' in the 
United States. This clearance request includes the data collection in 
2018 forward 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 September 2011, by the National Center for 
Health Statistics, CDC. Each year, about 15,000 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 2011 has ranged from 69 percent to 77 percent, and 
the cumulative response rate for the entire fieldwork period so far 
(September 2011 through the most current quarter which ended in May 
2017) is 69 percent.
    The NSFG program produces descriptive statistics which document 
factors associated with birth and pregnancy rates, including 
contraception, infertility, marriage, divorce, and sexual activity, in 
the US household population 15-49 years (15-44 years in survey periods 
before 2015); 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 eleven others (The Eunice Kennedy Shriver National 
Institute for Child Health and Human Development (NIH/NICHD); the 
Office of Population Affairs (DHHS/OPA); 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 Adolescent and School 
Health (CDC/DASH); the CDC's Division of Reproductive Health (CDC/DRH); 
the CDC's Division of Cancer Prevention and Control (CDC/DCPC); the

research and action organizations focused on men's and women's health, 
child well-being, and marriage and the family; academic researchers in 
the social and public health sciences; journalists, and many others.
    This submission requests approval to continue NSFG fieldwork for 
three years. While no questionnaire revisions are requested, two 
methodological studies are proposed. The total estimated annualized 
time burden to respondents is 6,759 hours. There is no cost to 
respondents other than their time.
