Proposed Data Collection Submitted for Public Comment and Recommendations, 10695-10696 [2020-03655]

Download as PDF 10695 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 37 / Tuesday, February 25, 2020 / Notices that CDC may identify during the next three years. No modification is requested for information collection activities, methodology, or populations of interest from the existing generic clearance. The extension and requested changes are needed to support CDC’s planned information collections and to accommodate additional needs that CDC may identify during the next three years. For example, the MTTCA generic clearance may be used to facilitate the development of tobacco-related health communications of interest for CDC’s collaborative efforts with other federal partners including, but not limited to, used in this clearance, leaving a balance of 68,795 respondents and 10,721 burden hours (annualized number of respondents of 22,932 and annualized burden hours of 3,754 for each of the three years in the requested extension). The MTTCA extension would provide approval for an annualized number of respondents of 83,215 and annualized burden hours of 11,255. CDC will continue to use the MTTCA clearance to develop and test messages and materials. Participation is voluntary and there are no costs to respondents, other than their time. the Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Tobacco Products. The MTTCA clearance should not replace the need for additional generic clearance mechanisms of HHS and other federal partners that may need to test tobacco messages related to their campaigns and initiatives. The existing MTTCA clearance was granted approval for a total of 138,324 respondents and 21,210 burden hours over a three-year period (annualized number of respondents of 46,108 and annualized burden hours of 7,070).

Proposed Project

    Youth Outreach Generic Clearance for the National Center for Health 
Statistics (NCHS) (OMB Control No. 0920-1185, Exp. 5/31/2020)--
Extension--National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), Centers for 
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    NCHS is authorized to collect data under Section 306 of the Public 
Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 242k). NCHS has a history of reaching out 
to young people to encourage their interest in Science, Technology, 
Engineering and Math (STEM). Examples of past involvement include 
adopting local schools, speaking at local colleges, conducting a 
Statistics Day for high school students, and, most recently, conducting 
the NCHS Data Detectives Camp for middle school students.
    The success of these programs has inspired NCHS leadership and 
staff to want to look for new and continuing opportunities to 
positively impact the lives of young people and expand their interest, 
understanding of and involvement in the sciences. NCHS requests 
approval for an Extension to a Generic Clearance mechanism (OMB Control 
No. 0920-1185) to collect information for these youth outreach 
activities and to inform future NCHS planning activities. These 
activities include hosting the Data Detectives Camp annually; hosting 
Statistics Day annually; creating youth poster sessions for 
professional conferences (such as the NCHS National Conference on 
Health Statistics or the American Statistical Association Conference 
etc.); hosting a statistical or health sciences etc. fair or other STEM 
related competitions; organizing a STEM Career Day or similar activity; 
developing web-based sites or materials with youth focus as well as 
other programs developed to meet future youth outreach needs, 
particularly activities that encourage STEM.
    Information will be collected using a combination of methodologies 
appropriate to each program. These may include: registration forms, 
letters of recommendation, evaluation forms; mail surveys; focus 
groups; automated and electronic technology (e.g. email, Web-based 
surveys); and telephone surveys.
    OMB approval is requested for three years to conduct the Youth 
Outreach Generic Clearance for the National Center for Health 
Statistics (NCHS). Participation is voluntary and there are no costs to 
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized 
burden hours are 1,750.
