Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 196 / Wednesday, October 9, 2019 / Notices
Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA)
(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal agencies
must obtain approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for each
collection of information they conduct
or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also
requires Federal agencies to provide a
60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each new
proposed collection, each proposed
extension of existing collection of
information, and each reinstatement of
previously approved information
collection before submitting the
collection to the OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are
publishing this notice of a proposed
data collection as described below.
The OMB is particularly interested in
comments that will help:
1. 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;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
4. Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who

other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions

5. Assess information collection costs.
Proposed Project
Application Form and Related Forms
for the Operation of the National Death
Index (NDI) (OMB Control No. 0920–
0215, Exp. 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.), as
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 of the population
of the United States.
The National Death Index (NDI) is a
national database containing identifying
death record information submitted
annually to NCHS by all the state vital
statistics offices, beginning with deaths
in 1979. Searches against the NDI file
provide the states and dates of death,
and the death certificate numbers of
deceased study subjects.
Using the NDI Plus service,
researchers have the option of also
receiving cause of death information for
deceased subjects, thus reducing the
need to request copies of death
certificates from the states. The NDI
Plus option currently provides the
International Classification of Disease
(ICD) codes for the underlying and
multiple causes of death for the years
1979–2018. Health researchers must
complete administrative forms in order
to apply for NDI services, and submit
records of study subjects for computer
matching against the NDI file. A threeyear revision request is submitted to
continue the use of the three
administrative forms (the application
form, repeat request form, and
transmittal form) utilized in the
operation of the National Death Index
(NDI) program. These forms are
submitted by NDI users when applying
for use of the NDI and when actually
using the service. In addition, this
request includes the introduction of
electronic versions that will ultimately
replace the three paper documents, one
of which will include a minor reduction
in the number of data collection items.
There is no cost to respondents except
for their time. The total estimated
annual burden hours are 417. While the
estimated annual number of application
forms has increased from 100 to 120, the
revised estimate of the time required to
complete the application form results in
an overall net decrease by 40 burden
hours from the previously approved 457
hours.

about individual’s experiences of sexual
violence, stalking and intimate partner
violence and information about the

Surveillance System that produces
national and state level estimates of
Intimate Partner Violence (IPV), Sexual
Violence (SV) and stalking on an annual
basis.
CDC seeks OMB approval for a threeyear period for this revision. In this
revision CDC describes the planned
testing of a redesign of the National
Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence
Survey (NISVS) and the approach for
collecting NISVS data using multiple
data collection modes and sampling
strategies. More specifically, this
revision is requesting: (1) Conduct
feasibility testing to assess alternative
design features including the sample
frame, mode of response, and incentive
structures that help garner participation
and help reduce nonresponse. (2)
Conduct experiments that inform the
development of a protocol for
alternative sampling and weighting
methods for multi-modal data collection
that will result in the ability to calculate
accurate and reliable national and statelevel estimates of SV, IPV, and stalking.
(3) Conduct a pilot data collection to
ensure that the selected optimal
alternative sampling methods and
multi-modal data collection approaches
for NISVS are ready for full-scale
implementation.
These data will be used only to
inform future NISVS data collections.
Results from the feasibility phase
experiments may be prepared for
publication, as the findings related to
optimal data collection modes, sampling
frames, and incentive structures are
likely to be useful to other federal
agencies currently conducting national
data collections. No national prevalence
estimates will be generated from the
data collected during the NISVS
redesign project. Data are analyzed
using appropriate statistical software to
account for the complexity of the survey
design to compute weighted counts,
percentages, and confidence intervals
using national-level data. There are no
costs to respondents other than their
time. The annual estimated burden
hours are 1,085.

Background and Brief Description
In 2010, the National Intimate Partner
and Sexual Violence Surveillance
System (NISVSS) reported that
approximately 6.9 million women and
5.6 million men experienced rape,
physical violence and/or stalking by an
intimate partner within the last year.
The health care costs associated with
this exceed $5.8 billion each year,
nearly $3.9 billion of which is for direct
medical and mental health care services.
