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
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.
5. Assess information collection costs.

Proposed Project
The National Health and Nutrition
Examination Survey (NHANES), (OMB
No. 0920–0950, Exp. 11/30/2021)—
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 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 2021–22, the program is not
considering any substantial changes to
NHANES content or procedures. The
proposed changes being requested are
small additions and modifications to
laboratory content, introductions to and
wording of existing questions, and the
addition of a conditional $40 incentive
for the household interview. As in
previous years, the base sample will
remain at approximately 5,000
interviewed and examined individuals
annually. It is possible that the survey
may have to adapt its plans in response
to Novel Coronavirus Disease (COVID–
19) or related concerns.
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 2021–22 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 (ages 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.
The 2021–22 survey will be similar to
what was fielded in 2019–20. It is
possible that content will be deleted, if
collaborator focus changes or resources
are not available. NHANES plans to
conduct developmental projects during
NHANES 2021–22, with a focus on
planning for NHANES 2023 and
beyond. These may include activities
such as tests of new equipment,
crossover studies between current and
proposed methods, tests of different
study modes, settings or technology,
outreach materials, incentive strategies,
sample storage and processing or
sample designs.
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.
In 2021 we plan to add the following
laboratory tests: Acetylcholinesterase
Enzyme Activity in whole blood; an
Environmental Toxicant in Washed Red
Blood Cells (Hemoglobin Adducts);
Environmental Toxicants in serum
(seven terpenes); Environmental
Toxicants in urine (seven volatile
organic compound (VOC) metabolites);

Infectious Disease Markers in serum
(Enterovirus 68 (EV–D68) and Human
Papilloma Virus (HPV) in serum);
Nutritional Biomarkers in plasma (Four
trans-fatty acids (TFA)); and two
Nutritional Biomarkers in serum.
In 2021, the following Laboratory
Tests will be modified: Steroid
hormones in serum (11 steroid
hormones).
Cycling out of NHANES in 2021–22 is
the Blood Pressure Methodology Study
and laboratory tests of Adducts of
Hemoglobin (Acrylamide, Glycidamide)
and Urine flow rate.
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 2021–2022, 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.

Proposed Project
The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), (OMB
No. 0920-0950, Exp. 11/30/2021)--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 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 2021-22, the program is not considering any substantial changes
to NHANES content or procedures. The proposed changes being requested
are small additions and modifications to laboratory content,
introductions to and wording of existing questions, and the addition of
a conditional $40 incentive for the household interview. As in previous
years, the base sample will remain at approximately 5,000 interviewed
and examined individuals annually. It is possible that the survey may
have to adapt its plans in response to Novel Coronavirus Disease
(COVID-19) or related concerns.
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 2021-22
NHANES physical examination includes the following components:
Anthropometry (all ages), 24-hour dietary recall (all ages),

oral health examination (ages 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.
The 2021-22 survey will be similar to what was fielded in 2019-20.
It is possible that content will be deleted, if collaborator focus
changes or resources are not available. NHANES plans to conduct

outreach materials, incentive strategies, sample storage and processing
or sample designs.
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.
In 2021 we plan to add the following laboratory tests:
Acetylcholinesterase Enzyme Activity in whole blood; an Environmental
Toxicant in Washed Red Blood Cells (Hemoglobin Adducts); Environmental
Toxicants in serum (seven terpenes); Environmental Toxicants in urine
(seven volatile organic compound (VOC) metabolites); Infectious Disease
Markers in serum (Enterovirus 68 (EV-D68) and Human Papilloma Virus
(HPV) in serum); Nutritional Biomarkers in plasma (Four trans-fatty

In 2021, the following Laboratory Tests will be modified: Steroid
hormones in serum (11 steroid hormones).
Cycling out of NHANES in 2021-22 is the Blood Pressure Methodology
Study and laboratory tests of Adducts of Hemoglobin (Acrylamide,
Glycidamide) and Urine flow rate.
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

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 2021-2022, 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
