Recommendations
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), Department of Health
and Human Services (HHS).
ACTION: Notice with comment period.
AGENCY:
The Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC), as part of
its continuing effort to reduce public
burden and maximize the utility of
government information, invites the
general public and other federal
agencies the opportunity to comment on
a continuing information collection, as
required by the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995. This notice invites
comment on a proposed information
collection project titled Developmental/
Methodologic Projects to Improve the
National Health and Nutrition
Examination Survey and Related
Programs. The goals of these projects are
to conduct voluntary customer surveys
to assess strengths in agency products
and services and to evaluate how well
it addresses the emerging needs of its
data users.
DATES: CDC must receive written
comments on or before December 20,
2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA)
(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:
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;
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; and
5. Assess information collection costs.
Proposed Project
Developmental/Methodologic Projects
to Improve the National Health and
Nutrition Examination Survey and
Related Programs, (OMB Control No.
0920–1208, Exp. 08/31/2023)—
Extension—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 Division of
Health and Nutrition Examination
Surveys (DHNES) has conducted
national surveys and related projects
periodically between 1970 and 1994,
and continuously since 1999. The
mission of DHNES programs is to
produce descriptive statistics which
measure the health and nutrition status
of the general population. The
continuous operation of DHNES
programs presents unique challenges in
testing new survey content and
activities, such as outreach or
participant screening etc.
This Generic Information Collection
Request (ICR) covers developmental
projects to help evaluate and enhance
DHNES existing and proposed data

collection activities to increase research
capacity and improve data quality. The
information collected through this
Generic ICR will not be used to make
generalizable statements about the
population of interest or to inform
public policy; however, methodological
findings from these projects may be
reported. The purpose and use of
projects under this National Health and
Nutrition Examination Survey
(NHANES) Generic Clearance would
include developmental projects
necessary for activities such as testing
new procedures, equipment, technology
and approaches that are going to be
folded into NHANES or other NCHS
programs; designing and testing
examination components or survey
questions; creating new studies
including biomonitoring and clinical
measures; creating new cohorts,
including a pregnancy and/or a birth—
24 month cohort; testing of the cognitive
and interpretive aspects of survey
methodology; feasibility testing of
proposed new components or
modifications to existing components;
testing of human-computer interfaces/
usability; assessing the acceptability of
proposed NHANES components among
materials; and conducting customer
satisfaction assessments.
The types of participants covered by
the NHANES Generic ICR may include
current or past NHANES participants;
family or household members of
NHANES participants; individuals
eligible to be participants in NHANES,
but who did not screen into the actual
survey; convenience samples;
volunteers; subject matter experts or
consultants such as survey
methodologist, academic researchers,
clinicians or other health care providers;
NHANES data or website users;
members of the general public or
individuals abroad who would be part
of a collaborative development project
or projects between NCHS and related
public health agencies in the U.S. and/
or abroad. The type of participant
involved in a given developmental
project would be determined by the
nature of the project. The details of each
project will be included in the specific
GenIC submissions.
CDC requests OMB approval for an
estimated 59,465 annualized burden
hours for this Generic ICR. A three-year
clearance is requested. There is no cost
to respondents other than their time.
likely participants; testing alternative
approaches to existing NHANES
procedures, including activities related
to improving nonresponse; testing the
use of or variations/adjustments in
incentives; testing content of web based
surveys; testing the feasibility of
obtaining bodily fluid specimens (e.g.,
blood, urine, semen, saliva, breastmilk)
and tissue samples (swabs); testing
digital imaging technology and related
procedures (e.g., retinal scan, liver
ultrasound, Dual-energy X-ray
absorptiometry (DEXA), prescription
and over-the-counter dietary
supplements bottles); testing the
feasibility of and procedure/processes
for accessing participant’s medical
records from healthcare settings (e.g.,
hospitals and physician offices); testing
the feasibility and protocols for home
examination measurements; testing
survey materials and procedures to
improve response rates, including
changes to advance materials and
protocols, changes to the incentive
structure, introduction of new and
timely outreach and awareness
procedures including the use of social
media; conducting crossover studies;
creating and testing digital survey
