with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995, on or after the date of publication
of this notice. We invite the general
public and other Federal agencies to

the public’s reporting burden. Public
comments were previously requested
via the Federal Register on December 7,
2021, during a 60-day comment period.
This notice allows for an additional 30
days for public comments.
Agency: U.S. Census Bureau.
Title: Ask U.S. Panel.
OMB Control Number: 0607–XXXX.
Form Number(s): Not yet determined.
Type of Request: Regular submission,
New Information Collection Request.
Number of Respondents: 1,700.
Average Hours per Response:
Approximately 39.9 minutes per
respondent.
Burden Hours: 1,131 hours.
Needs and Uses: The Ask U.S. Panel
(‘‘the Panel’’) will be a nationally
representative survey panel for tracking
public opinion on a variety of topics of
interest to numerous federal agencies
and their partners, and for conducting
experimentation on alternative question
wording and methodological
approaches. The Panel may also be used
to collect national-representative rapidresponse data, as a complement to that
currently collected by the Household
Pulse Survey. The Panel will be
developed through a multi-year effort.
The first two years will focus on
developing the overall design and
conducting a large-scale field Pilot Test.
Nationally representative data collection
based on a probability sample of U.S.
adults will begin in the third year. The
current request is limited to the Pilot
Test. A future request will contain
details for the full Panel.
A key objective of the Panel will be
to produce representative and reliable
statistics on a rapid turnaround suitable
for use by federal agencies. Ultimately,
the Panel seeks to make it possible to
release data that meets standards of the
Federal Statistical Agencies and the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB). At the same time, the Panel will
ensure availability of frequent data
collection for nationally representative
estimates on a variety of topics and a
variety of subgroups of the population.
The Panel is an interagency effort,
with representatives from Census, the
Department of Agriculture’s Economic
Research Service, the Bureau of Labor
Statistics, the National Center for Health
Statistics, the National Center for
Science and Engineering Statistics, the
National Center for Education Statistics,
the Department of Defense, Department
of Transportation, Department of Labor
and the Social Security Administration
guiding its design, content and
methodological rigor, that will be used
to meet data needs across the Federal
Statistical System.

Data will be collected in two distinct
phases. In Phase 1, a pilot, consisting of
approximately ten percent of the final
panel (1,700 people) will be recruited
and surveyed as a proof-of-concept to
refine methods. In Phase 2, the full
panel will be recruited and surveyed

1. This 30-day notice seeks clearance for
the Phase 1 Pilot. A future 30-day notice
will outline specific plans for Phase 2.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households.
Frequency: Twice a year.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
Legal Authority: The Pilot is being
developed under a cooperative
agreement awarded by the Census
Bureau pursuant to the Consolidated
Appropriations Act of 2021, Public Law

sponsored surveys is authorized by Title

Agency: U.S. Census Bureau.
Title: National Survey of Children’s
Health.
OMB Control Number: 0607–0990.
Form Number(s): NSCH–S1 (English
Screener), NSCH–T1 (English Topical
for 0- to 5-year-old children), NSCH–T2
(English Topical for 6- to 11-year-old
children), NSCH–T3 (English Topical

children), NSCH–S–T2 (Spanish Topical
for 6- to 11-year-old children), and
NSCH–S–T3 (Spanish Topical for 12- to
17-year-old children).
Type of Request: Regular submission,
Request for a Revision of a Currently
Approved Collection.
Number of Respondents: 71,380 for
the screener only and 60,504 for the
combined screener and topical, for a
total of 131,884 respondents.
Average Hours per Response: 5
minutes per screener response and 35–
36 minutes per topical response, which
in total is approximately 40–41 minutes
for households with eligible children.
Burden Hours: 46,587.
Needs and Uses: The National Survey
of Children’s Health (NSCH) enables the
Maternal and Child Health Bureau
(MCHB) of the Health Resources and
Services Administration (HRSA) of the
U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) along with supplemental
sponsoring agencies, states, and other
data users to produce national and statebased estimates on the health and well-

being of children, their families, and
their communities as well as estimates
of the prevalence and impact of children
with special health care needs.
Data will be collected using one of
two modes. The first mode is a web
instrument (Centurion) survey that
contains the screener and topical
instruments. The web instrument first
will take the respondent through the
screener questions. If the household
screens into the study, the respondent
will be taken directly into one of the
three age-based topical sets of questions.
The second mode is a mailout/mailback
of a self-administered paper-and-pencil
interviewing (PAPI) screener instrument
followed by a separate mailout/mailback
of a PAPI age-based topical instrument.
The National Survey of Children’s
Health (NSCH) is a large-scale (sample
size is up to 360,000 addresses) national
survey with approximately 200,000
addresses included in the base
production survey and approximately
160,000 addresses included as part of
eleven separate age-based, state-based,
or region-based oversamples. The 2022
NSCH will include a topical incentive
test. Prior cycles of the survey have
included a $5 unconditional cash
incentive with the initial mailing of the
paper topical questionnaire. The
incentive has proven to be a costeffective intervention for increasing
survey response and reducing
nonresponse bias. The 2022 NSCH will
continue to test a $10 cash incentive,
with a focus on lower responding
households.
As in prior cycles of the NSCH, there
remain two key, non-experimental
design elements. The first additional
non-experimental design element is a $5
screener cash incentive mailed to 90%
of sampled addresses; the remaining
10% (the control) will receive no
incentive to monitor the effectiveness of
the cash incentive. This incentive is
designed to increase response and
reduce nonresponse bias. The incentive
amount was chosen based on the results
of the 2021 NSCH as well as funding
availability. The second additional nonexperimental design element is a data
collection procedure based on the block
group-level paper-only response
probability used to identify households
(30% of the sample) that would be more
likely to respond by paper and send
them a paper questionnaire in the initial
mailing.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households.
Frequency: The 2022 collection is the
seventh administration of the NSCH. It
is an annual survey, with a new sample
drawn for each administration.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
