Part II of the SF 330 is used to obtain information from an architect-engineer firm about its general professional qualifications. The SF 330 accomplishes the following: • Expands essential information about qualifications and experience data including: Æ An organizational chart of all participating firms and key personnel. Æ For all key personnel, a description of their experience in 5 relevant projects. Æ A description of each example project performed by the project team (or some elements of the project team) and its relevance to the agency’s proposed contract. Æ A matrix of key personnel who participated in the example projects. This matrix graphically illustrates the degree to which the proposed key personnel have worked together before on similar projects. • Reflects current architect-engineer disciplines, experience types and technology. • Permits limited submission length thereby reducing costs for both the E:\FR\FM\21OCN1.SGM 21OCN1 66984 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 204 / Wednesday, October 21, 2020 / Notices architect-engineer industry and the Government.

Proposed Project National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) (OMB Control No. 0920–0214, Exp. 12/31/2020)—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 (HHS), acting through NCHS, shall collect statistics on the extent and nature of illness and disability of the population of the United States. The annual National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) is a major source of general statistics on the health of the U.S. population and has been in the field continuously since 1957. This PO 00000 Frm 00059 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 voluntary and confidential householdbased survey collects demographic and health-related information from a nationally representative sample of households and noninstitutionalized, civilian persons throughout the country. NHIS data have long been used by government, academic, and private researchers to evaluate both general health and specific issues, such as smoking, diabetes, health care coverage, and access to health care. The survey is also a leading source of data for the Congressionally mandated ‘‘Health US’’ and related publications, as well as the single most important source of statistics to track progress toward HHS health objectives. The NHIS sample adult and sample child questionnaires include annual core content that is scheduled to be fielded in the survey every year, rotating content that is fielded periodically, emerging content to address new topics of growing interest, and sponsored content that is fielded when external funding is available. In July 2020, content related to the COVID–19 pandemic and for which emergency OMB clearance was obtained on June 22, 2020 was added to both the sample adult and sample child questionnaires. Items on positive COVID–19 cases, and access to non-pandemic care were added to both the sample child and sample adult questionnaires. Items on underlying health conditions, immunosuppression, access to cancer care, access to skilled and informal caregiving, social support, impact of chronic pain, and social distancing at current or most recent job were added to the sample adult questionnaire only. All of these items will be fielded as part of the 2021 NHIS. Sample adult content fielded in the 2020 NHIS that will be removed from the 2021 NHIS includes dental services and other provider services, physical activity, walking for transportation and leisure, sleep, fatigue, smoking history and cessation and alcohol use. Sponsored content that will be removed include content on asthma, diabetes prevention, diabetes family history, opioid use, pain management and cancer control items on lung cancer screening, environment for walking and sun care protection. Sample child content fielded in the 2020 NHIS that will be removed from the 2021 NHIS include items on dental services, mental health services, other provider services, height and weight, physical activity, neighborhood characteristics, sleep, and screen time will rotate off the sample child core. Sponsored content on asthma will be also be removed. E:\FR\FM\21OCN1.SGM 21OCN1
