to accomplishing BSC, NCHS objectives
(https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/about/
bsc.htm). Members may be invited to

committee memberships. Committee
members are Special Government

completed. Note that the need for
different expertise varies from year to

subsequent year. Candidates should

D Current resume/curriculum vitae,
including complete contact information
(telephone numbers, mailing address,
email address) in Microsoft Word or
PDF format.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the

(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), federal agencies
must obtain approval from the Office of
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:

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;
