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 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.

Background and Brief Description
The National Center for Health
Statistics (NCHS) has submitted a sixmonth OMB emergency clearance for a
Research and Development Survey
(RANDS) COVID–19 related data
collection. Since COVID–19 has resulted
in a public health crisis, this
information collection requests approval
to conduct a follow-on survey (Round 3)
to the previously completed rounds of
RANDS. Similar to the previous two
rounds of RANDS completed during
COVID–19, this information collection
RANDS will provide NCHS and CDC
with early estimates of COVID–19related concepts. The questionnaire will
cover areas such as general health,
psychological distress, chronic
conditions, health behaviors, the
outbreak’s effects on healthcare access,
loss of work due to illness with COVID–
19, telemedicine access and use, and
other health and behavioral aspects
related to the epidemic. CDC requests
approval for an estimated 1,734 burden
hours over the course of the six-month
approval. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time.
will use NORC’s AmeriSpeak Panel as
its sample source.
The RANDS COVID–19 (Round 3)
collection will be used for the purpose
of continuing NCHS’ developmental
survey methods and will generate data
that can help explain health-related
experiences of the United States
population during this period. The data
collection includes not only a research
component, but will also contribute to
CDC’s ongoing surveillance of the
COVID–19 pandemic. Given the current
outbreak and the resulting limitations
placed on NCHS’ other data collections,
