Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork
Reduction Act Review
In accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
has submitted the information
collection request titled Behavioral Risk
Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) to
the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for review and approval. CDC
previously published a ‘‘Proposed Data
Collection Submitted for Public
Comment and Recommendations’’
notice on September 18, 2018 to obtain
comments from the public and affected
agencies. CDC received three comments
related to the previous notice. This
notice serves to allow an additional 30
days for public and affected agency
comments.
CDC will accept all comments for this
proposed information collection project.
The Office of Management and Budget
is particularly interested in comments
that:
(a) Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
(b) Evaluate the accuracy of the
agencies estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;

Proposed Project
Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance
System (BRFSS)—Revision—National
Center for Chronic Disease Prevention
and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
CDC is requesting OMB approval to
revise information collection for the
Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance
System (BRFSS) for the period of 2019–
2022. The BRFSS is a nationwide
system of cross-sectional telephone
health surveys administered by health
departments in states, territories, and
the District of Columbia (collectively
referred to here as states) in
collaboration with CDC. The BRFSS
produces state-level information
primarily on health risk behaviors,
health conditions, and preventive health
practices that are associated with
PO 00000
Frm 00030
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
chronic diseases, infectious diseases,
and injury. Designed to meet the data
needs of individual states and
territories, the CDC sponsors the BRFSS
information collection project under a
cooperative agreement with states and
territories. Under this partnership,
BRFSS state coordinators determine
questionnaire content with technical
and methodological assistance provided
by CDC. For most states and territories,
the BRFSS provides the only sources of
data amenable to state and local level
health and health risk indicator uses.
Over time, it has also developed into an
important data collection system that
federal agencies rely on for state and
local health information and to track
national health objectives such as
Healthy People.
CDC bases the BRFSS questionnaire
on modular design principles to
accommodate a variety of state-specific
needs within a common framework. All
participating states are required to
administer a standardized core
questionnaire, which provides a set of
shared health indicators for all BRFSS
partners. The BRFSS core questionnaire
consists of fixed core, rotating core, and
emerging core questions. Fixed core
questions are asked every year. Rotating
core questions cycle on and off the core
questionnaire during even or odd years,
depending on the question. Emerging
core questions are included in the core
questionnaire as needed to collect data
on urgent or emerging health topics
such as influenza. In addition, the
BRFSS includes a series of optional
modules on a variety of topics. In off
years, when the rotating questions are
not included in the core questionnaire,
they are offered to states as optional
modules. This framework allows each
state to produce a customized BRFSS
survey by appending selected optional
modules to the core survey. States may
select which, if any, optional modules
to administer. As needed, CDC provides
technical and methodological assistance
to state BRFSS coordinators in the

construction of their state-specific
surveys. Each state administers its
BRFSS questionnaire throughout the
calendar year.
CDC periodically updates the BRFSS
core survey and optional modules. The
purpose of this Revision request is to
add the following topics to the
questionnaires: Myalgic
encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue
syndrome; hepatitis treatment; adverse
childhood experiences; food stamps;
and opioid use and misuse. In addition,
this request seeks approval for
reinstating topics which have been
included in BRFSS in the past,
dependent upon state interest and
funding. Participation is voluntary and
there is no cost to participate. The total
time burden across all respondents will
be approximately 241,519 hours.
