Prevention’s (CDC) National Intimate
Partner and Sexual Violence Survey
(NISVS) data showed many victims of
IPV began experiencing these forms of
violence prior to adulthood.
Authorized by the Family Violence
and Prevention Services Act (FVPSA)
statute (42 U.S.C. 10414), CDC has
funded the Domestic Violence
Prevention Enhancements and
Leadership Through Alliances (DELTA)
Program since 2002. The DELTA
program funds State Domestic Violence
Coalitions to implement statewide IPV
prevention efforts, while also providing
assistance and funding for local
communities to implement IPV
prevention activities. The DELTA
Impact cooperative agreement advances
IPV prevention activities through these
components: 1. Implementation and
program evaluation of state and local
level IPV prevention strategies targeting
community or societal level change
using a public health approach and
effective prevention principles. 2.
Development or enhancement of a State
Action Plan (SAP) to increase the use of
data for planning and the prioritization
of primary prevention of IPV based on
any existing health inequities within
their jurisdictions. 3. Provision of
training and technical assistance (TA) to
DELTA Impact organizations on the
implementation of IPV prevention
strategies.
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) seeks OMB approval
to collect annual progress report (APR)
information from the currently grantees
funded under Domestic Violence
Prevention Enhancement and
Leadership Through Alliances (DELTA)
Impact. Recipients will report relevant
information on the implementation of
their prevention strategies,
implementation of statewide planning,
as well as the extent to which they
implement and evaluate multiple
specific prevention programs. These
data will be submitted through an
electronic reporting system at the time
of their annual non-competing
continuation application. The report has
been designed in a way that collects
consistent information across recipients
while allowing the flexibility to account
for varying prevention strategies.
Information to be collected will
provide crucial data for program
performance monitoring, will allow
CDC to analyze and synthesize
information from grantees, help ensure
consistency in documenting progress
and technical assistance, enhance
accountability of the use of federal
funds, and provide timely reports as
frequently requested by HHS, the White
House, and Congress.
Submission of the Annual Progress
Report is required for cooperative
agreement grantees. Over the three-year
period of this information collection
request, the annualized estimated
burden for 10 recipients is 117 with a
total three-year burden of 350 hours.
There is no cost to respondents other
than their time.

Proposed Project
The National Health and Nutrition
Examination Survey (NHANES), (OMB
No. 0920–0950, expires 12/31/2019)—
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
E:\FR\FM\10OCN1.SGM
10OCN1
amozie on DSK3GDR082PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 196 / Wednesday, October 10, 2018 / Notices
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
Surveys (NHANES) have been
conducted periodically between 1970
and 1994, and continuously since 1999
by the National Center for Health
Statistics, CDC.
NHANES programs produce
descriptive statistics, which measure the
health and nutrition status of the
general population. With physical
examinations, laboratory tests, and
interviews, 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 and
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.
In 2019, we will implement a new
data collection schedule. To increase
operational efficiency, NHANES will
survey a nationally representative
sample over the course of a two-year
cycle instead of annually. The change to
a two-year cycle will permit more days
allocated to each primary sampling unit
(PSU). This results in less travel time,
which allows more time to screen and
recruit potential participants, and
allows for more exam slots. As in
previous years, the base sample will
remain at approximately 5,000
interviewed and examined individuals
annually.
NCHS collects personally identifiable
information (PII). 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).
A variety of agencies sponsors data
collection components on NHANES. To
keep burden down and respond to
changing public health research needs,
NCHS cycles in and out various
VerDate Sep<11>2014

components. The 2019–20 NHANES
physical examination includes the
following components: Anthropometry
(all ages), 24-hour dietary recall (all
ages), physician’s examination (all ages,
blood pressure is collected here), oral
health examination (age one and older),
dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) (ages
50+ bone density; ages 8–69 total body
scan) and audiometry (ages 6–19 and
70+).
While at the examination center,
additional interview questions are asked
(six and older)and a second 24-hour
dietary recall (all ages) is scheduled to
be conducted by phone 3–10 days later.
Starting in 2019, we will collect blood
pressure using an automated device,
instead of using manual devices. The
2019–20 survey will bring back the
cognitive function test (ages 60+). We
plan to add a Words-In-Noise (ages 70+)
exam to the audiometry component,
genetic testing related to the liver
elastography exam, and a standing
balance exam (ages 40+,) which
includes two vision tests (contrast
sensitivity and visual acuity).
NHANES also plans to conduct
developmental projects during NHANES
2019–20. These may include a 24-hour
blood pressure measurement pilot
among NHANES participants ages 18
and older, creating and testing a social
media campaign and testing
modifications to incentive amounts or
how incentives are provided.
The biospecimens collected for
laboratory tests include urine, blood,
and vaginal and penile swabs. Serum,
plasma and urine specimens are stored
for future testing, including genetic
research, if the participant consents.
Consent to store DNA is continuing in
NHANES. Collecting an oral rinse for
HPV analyses is cycling back into the
survey (ages 8–69 years). In addition, we
will again collect a water sample in the
home for fluoride.
The following analytes have been
discontinued in 2018 for participants
from the smoking sample subset:
Aromatic Amines, Heterocyclic Amines,
Urine Cotinine, Tobacco-Specific
Nitrosamines, Perchlorate, Nitrates, and
Thiocyanate, Urinary Arsenic, Mercury,
Iodine and Metals.
Cycling out of NHANES in 2019–20
are the blood pressure methodology
project, Human Papillomavirus (HPV) in
serum, Aldehydes in serum, Volatile Nnitrosamines (VNAs) tobacco
biomarkers, Urine heterocyclic amines,

Frm 00052

urine aromatic amines and urine
tobacco-specific nitrosamines
New additions to the survey
questionnaires include two questions on
WIC participation, a birth to less than
24-month questionnaire module,
collecting information on infant and
toddler formula. We are also modifying
multiple questionnaire sections so they
better align with questions asked in the
National Health Interview Survey
(NHIS) (OMB Control No. 0920–0214,
Exp. Date 12/31/2019), compliment
exam or lab content, or in order to
reduce respondent burden.
Most sections of the NHANES
interviews provide self-reported
information to be used in combination
with specific examination or laboratory
content, as independent prevalence
estimates, or as covariates in statistical
analysis (e.g., socio-demographic
characteristics). Some examples include
alcohol, drug, and tobacco use, sexual
behavior, prescription and aspirin use,
and indicators of oral, bone,
reproductive, and mental health.
Several interview components support
the nutrition-monitoring objective of
NHANES, including questions about
food security and nutrition program
participation, dietary supplement use,
and weight history/self-image/related
behavior.
In 2019–2020, we plan to continue or
expand upon existing multi-mode
screening and electronic consent
procedures in NHANES. Our yearly goal
for interview, exam and post exam
components is 5,000 participants. To
achieve this goal we may need to screen
up to 15,000 individuals annually.
Burden for individuals will vary
based on their level of participation. For
example, infants and children tend to
have shorter interviews and exams than
adults. This is because young people
may have fewer health conditions or
medications to report so their interviews
take less time or because certain exams
are only conducted on individuals 18
and older, etc. In addition, adults often
serve as proxy respondents for young
people in their families.
Participation in NHANES is voluntary
and confidential. There is no cost to
respondents other than their time. We
are requesting a three-year approval,
with 68,417 annualized hours of
burden.

Description: The Children’s Bureau
(CB) within the Administration for
Children and Families of the U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services seeks approval to collect
information for the Regional Partnership
Grants to Increase the Well-being of and
to Improve Permanency Outcomes for
Children Affected by Substance Abuse
(known as the Regional Partnership
Grants Program or ‘‘RPG’’) Cross-Site
Evaluation and Evaluation-Related
Technical Assistance project. The Child
and Family Services Improvement and
Innovation Act (Pub. L. 112–34)
includes a targeted grants program
(section 437(f) of the Social Security
Act) that directs the Secretary of Health
and Human Services to reserve a
specified portion of the appropriation
for these Regional Partnership Grants, to
be used to improve the well-being of
children affected by substance abuse.
Under three prior rounds of RPG, the
Children’s Bureau has issued 74 grants
to organizations such as child welfare or
substance abuse treatment providers or
family court systems to develop
interagency collaborations and
integration of programs, activities, and
services designed to increase well-being,
improve permanency, and enhance the
safety of children who are in an out-ofhome placement or are at risk of being
placed in out-of-home care as a result of
a parent’s or caretaker’s substance
abuse. In 2017, CB awarded grants to a
fourth cohort of 17 grantees and in 2018
they plan to award 10 grants to a fifth
cohort.
The RPG cross-site evaluation will
extend our understanding of what types
of programs and services grantees
provided to participants, how grantees
leveraged their partnerships to
coordinate services for children and
families, and what the outcomes were
for children and families enrolled in
RPG programs. First, the cross-site
evaluation will describe the
characteristics of participants served by
RPG programs, the types of services
provided to families, the dosage of each

The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), (OMB
No. 0920-0950, expires 12/31/2019)--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
[[Page 50935]]
amended, authorizes that the Secretary of Health and Human Services
(DHHS), acting through NCHS, shall collect statistics on the extent and

CDC.
NHANES programs produce descriptive statistics, which measure the
health and nutrition status of the general population. With physical
examinations, laboratory tests, and interviews, NHANES studies the
relationship between diet, nutrition and health in a representative

NHANES monitors the prevalence of chronic conditions and risk
factors and 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.
In 2019, we will implement a new data collection schedule. To
increase operational efficiency, NHANES will survey a nationally

allocated to each primary sampling unit (PSU). This results in less
travel time, which allows more time to screen and recruit potential
participants, and allows for more exam slots. As in previous years, the
base sample will remain at approximately 5,000 interviewed and examined

NCHS collects personally identifiable information (PII).
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).
A variety of agencies sponsors data collection components on
NHANES. To keep burden down and respond to changing public health
research needs, NCHS cycles in and out various components. The 2019-20
NHANES physical examination includes the following components:
Anthropometry (all ages), 24-hour dietary recall (all ages),
physician's examination (all ages, blood pressure is collected here),
oral health examination (age one and older), dual X-ray absorptiometry
(DXA) (ages 50+ bone density; ages 8-69 total body scan) and audiometry
(ages 6-19 and 70+).
While at the examination center, additional interview questions are
asked (six and older)and a second 24-hour dietary recall (all ages) is
scheduled to be conducted by phone 3-10 days later.
Starting in 2019, we will collect blood pressure using an automated
device, instead of using manual devices. The 2019-20 survey will bring
back the cognitive function test (ages 60+). We plan to add a Words-In-
Noise (ages 70+) exam to the audiometry component, genetic testing
related to the liver elastography exam, and a standing balance exam
(ages 40+,) which includes two vision tests (contrast sensitivity and
visual acuity).
NHANES also plans to conduct developmental projects during NHANES
2019-20. These may include a 24-hour blood pressure measurement pilot
among NHANES participants ages 18 and older, creating and testing a

The biospecimens collected for laboratory tests include urine,
blood, and vaginal and penile swabs. Serum, plasma and urine specimens
are stored for future testing, including genetic research, if the
participant consents. Consent to store DNA is continuing in NHANES.
Collecting an oral rinse for HPV analyses is cycling back into the
survey (ages 8-69 years). In addition, we will again collect a water
sample in the home for fluoride.
The following analytes have been discontinued in 2018 for
participants from the smoking sample subset: Aromatic Amines,
Heterocyclic Amines, Urine Cotinine, Tobacco-Specific Nitrosamines,
Perchlorate, Nitrates, and Thiocyanate, Urinary Arsenic, Mercury,
Iodine and Metals.
Cycling out of NHANES in 2019-20 are the blood pressure methodology
project, Human Papillomavirus (HPV) in serum, Aldehydes in serum,
Volatile N-nitrosamines (VNAs) tobacco biomarkers, Urine heterocyclic
amines, urine aromatic amines and urine tobacco-specific nitrosamines
New additions to the survey questionnaires include two questions on
WIC participation, a birth to less than 24-month questionnaire module,
collecting information on infant and toddler formula. We are also
modifying multiple questionnaire sections so they better align with
questions asked in the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) (OMB
Control No. 0920-0214, Exp. Date 12/31/2019), compliment exam or lab
content, or in order to reduce respondent burden.
Most sections of the NHANES interviews provide self-reported
information to be used in combination with specific examination or
laboratory content, as independent prevalence estimates, or as
covariates in statistical analysis (e.g., socio-demographic
characteristics). Some examples include alcohol, drug, and tobacco use,
sexual behavior, prescription and aspirin use, and indicators of oral,
bone, reproductive, and mental health. Several interview components
support the nutrition-monitoring objective of NHANES, including
questions about food security and nutrition program participation,
dietary supplement use, and weight history/self-image/related behavior.
In 2019-2020, we plan to continue or expand upon existing multi-
mode screening and electronic consent procedures in NHANES. Our yearly
goal for interview, exam and post exam components is 5,000
participants. To achieve this goal we may need to screen up to 15,000

individuals 18 and older, etc. In addition, adults often serve as proxy
respondents for young people in their families.
Participation in NHANES is voluntary and confidential. There is no
cost to respondents other than their time. We are requesting a three-
