well as information necessary to obtain
liens on collateral, provide evidence of
the indebtedness, and ensure repayment
of the loan. FSA will use several forms
and non-forms to collect the
information.
In the Executive Order 14058, the
Secretary of Agriculture tasked FSA
with simplifying the direct loan
application process. As such, forms
FSA–2001, FSA–2002, FSA–2003, FSA–
2004, FSA–2005, FSA–2006, FSA–2037,
FSA–2038, FSA–2302, and FSA–2330
have been consolidated into a single
form for the purposes of direct loan
making and that consolidation is
reflected in this collection.
Need and Use of the Information:
Information is submitted by the
applicants to the local agency office
serving the county in which their
business is headquartered. The
information is necessary to thoroughly
evaluate the applicant’s request for a
direct loan and is used by FSA officials
to: (1) Ensure that cash flow projections
used in determining loan repayment are
based on the actual production history
of the operation, (2) Ensure that a loan
is adequately secured; (3) Ensure the
applicant meets the statutorily
established program eligibility
requirements; and (4) Obtain assignment
on income or sales proceeds, when
appropriate, to ensure timely repayment
of the loans. Since the agency is
mandated to provide supervised credit,
failure to collect the information, or
collecting it less frequently, could result
in the failure of the farm operation or
loss of agency security property.

of the 2023 NSCH is to provide HRSA
MCHB, the supplemental sponsoring
agencies, states, regions, and other data
users with the necessary data to support
the production of national estimates
yearly and state- or region-based
estimates with pooled samples 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.
NSCH is seeking clearance to make
the following changes:
• Increased sample size—The MCHB
sponsored NSCH sample plus the
separately sponsored age-, state-, or
region-based oversamples will be
approximately 385,000 addresses for the
2023 NSCH, compared with 360,000 in
2022. The increased sample will allow
individual states and agencies to
produce statistically sound child health
estimates in a fewer number of pooled
years than if the sample were to remain
the same annually, thereby resulting in
more timely age-, state- and regionbased health estimates of children.
• Revised questionnaire content—
The NSCH questionnaires with newly
proposed and revised content from the
sponsors at HRSA MCHB are currently
undergoing two rounds of cognitive
testing. This testing request was
submitted under the generic clearance
package and approved by OMB.1 Based
on the results, a final set of proposed
new and modified content will be
included in the full OMB ICR for the
2023 NSCH.
• Oversamples 2—In order to inform
various priorities that are otherwise not
supported by the NSCH, some
stakeholders have shown interest in
sponsoring an oversample of particular
populations as part of the annual NSCH
administration. Currently, there are
thirteen (13) states and one region
contributing to an oversample as part of
the 2023 NSCH. Nine (9) states
(California, Colorado, Louisiana,
Nebraska, Ohio, Pennsylvania,
Tennessee, Wisconsin, and Wyoming)
and the Atlanta, GA Metro Area, were
initially oversampled in 2020, 2021, or
2022 and are continuing with the option
as part of the 2023 NSCH. Four (4)
additional states (Kansas, Illinois, New
Mexico, and Minnesota) will be
oversampled for the first time in 2023.

CDC–NCCDPHP is supporting an
oversample of households with young
children. Additionally, MCHB is
requesting oversamples within the states
of California, Illinois, Kansas, Louisiana,
Nebraska, New Mexico, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and
Wyoming.
Besides the proposed changes listed
above, the 2023 NSCH will proceed
with the current design outlined in the
previous OMB ICR package, including
the use of incentives. Response rates for
the unconditional monetary incentive
group continues to show a statistically
significant difference over the control
group that did not receive an
unconditional monetary incentive. As
part of the initial screener mailing, 90%
will include $5 and 10% will not
receive an incentive. The incentive
assignment to each sampled address
would still be random as was done in
prior cycles and approved by OMB.
Additionally, the use of a $5 or $10
incentive with the initial paper topical
mailing will be used. Additional
incentives and mailing strategies may be
used to both reduce nonresponse bias
and improve response rates per request
of the sponsor and as funding allows.
We will continue to make modifications
to data collection strategies based on
modeled information about paper or
internet response preference. Results
from prior survey cycles will continue
to be used to inform the decisions made
regarding future cycles of the NSCH.
From prior cycles of the NSCH, using
American Association for Public
Opinion Research definitions of
response, we can expect for the 2023
NSCH an overall screener completion
rate to be about 44.4% and an overall
topical completion rate to be about
31.3%.3 This is different from the
overall response rate, which we expect
to be about 39.3%.4
II. Method of Collection
The 2023 NSCH plan for the web
push data collection design includes
3 Screener Completion Rate is the proportion of
screener-eligible households (i.e., occupied
residences) that completed a screener. It is equal to
(S+X)/(S+X+R+e(UR+UO)), where S is the count of
completed screeners with children, X is completed
screeners without children, R is screener refusals,
and e(UR+UO) is the estimated count of screener
eligible households among nonresponding
addresses.
The Topical Completion Rate is the proportion of
topical-eligible households (i.e., occupied
residences with children present) that completed a
topical questionnaire. It is equal to I/HCt, where I
is the count of completed topicals and HCt is the
estimated count of households with children in the
sample or S+R+(S+R)/(S+X+R)*e(UR+UO).
4 Overall Response Rate is the probability a
resolved address completes a screener
questionnaire and then, when eligible, completes a
topical questionnaire.
PO 00000

approximately 70% of the production
addresses receiving an initial invite
with instructions on how to complete an
English or Spanish-language screener
questionnaire via the web. Households
that decide to complete the web-based
survey will be taken through the
screener questionnaire to determine if
they are eligible for one of three topical
instruments. Households that list at
least one child who is 0 to 17 years old
in the screener are directed into a
topical questionnaire immediately after
the last screener question. If a
household in the web push treatment
group decides to complete the paper
screener, the household will receive an
additional topical questionnaire
incentive. This group will receive two
web survey invitation letters requesting
their participation in the survey prior to
receiving up to two additional paper
screener questionnaires in the second
and third follow-up mailings.
The 2023 NSCH plan for the mixedmode data collection design includes up
to 30% of the production addresses
receiving a paper screener questionnaire
in either the initial or the first
nonresponse follow-up and instructions
on how to complete an English or
Spanish language screener
questionnaire via the web. Households
that decide to complete the web-based
survey will follow the same screener
and topical selection path as the web
push. Households that choose to
complete the paper screener
questionnaire rather than completing
the survey on the internet and that have
eligible children will be mailed a paper
topical questionnaire upon receipt of
their completed paper screener at the
Census Bureau’s National Processing
Center. If a household in the mixedmode group chooses to complete the
paper screener instead of completing the
web-based screener via the internet,
then the household will receive an
additional topical questionnaire
incentive. This group will receive both
a web survey invitation letter along with
a mailed paper screener questionnaire
with either the initial invitation or the
first follow-up and each additional
nonresponse follow-up mailing.

(13) states and one region contributing to an oversample as part of the
2023 NSCH. Nine (9) states (California, Colorado, Louisiana, Nebraska,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Wisconsin, and Wyoming) and the Atlanta,
GA Metro Area, were initially oversampled in 2020, 2021, or 2022 and
are continuing with the option as part of the 2023 NSCH. Four (4)
additional states (Kansas, Illinois, New Mexico, and Minnesota) will be
oversampled for the first time in 2023. CDC-NCCDPHP is supporting an
oversample of households with young children. Additionally, MCHB is
requesting oversamples within the states of California, Illinois,
Kansas, Louisiana, Nebraska, New Mexico, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin,
and Wyoming.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Besides the proposed changes listed above, the 2023 NSCH will
proceed with the current design outlined in the previous OMB ICR
package, including the use of incentives. Response rates for the
unconditional monetary incentive group continues to show a
statistically significant difference over the control group that did
not receive an unconditional monetary incentive. As part of the initial
screener mailing, 90% will include $5 and 10% will not receive an
incentive. The incentive assignment to each sampled address would still
be random as was done in prior cycles and approved by OMB.
Additionally, the use of a $5 or $10 incentive with the initial paper
topical mailing will be used. Additional incentives and mailing
strategies may be used to both reduce nonresponse bias and improve
response rates per request of the sponsor and as funding allows. We
will continue to make modifications to data collection strategies based
on modeled information about paper or internet response preference.
Results from prior survey cycles will continue to be used to inform the
decisions made regarding future cycles of the NSCH.
From prior cycles of the NSCH, using American Association for
Public Opinion Research definitions of response, we can expect for the
2023 NSCH an overall screener completion rate to be about 44.4% and an
overall topical completion rate to be about 31.3%.\3\ This is different
from the overall response rate, which we expect to be about 39.3%.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ Screener Completion Rate is the proportion of screener-
eligible households (i.e., occupied residences) that completed a
screener. It is equal to (S+X)/(S+X+R+e(UR+UO)), where S is the
count of completed screeners with children, X is completed screeners
without children, R is screener refusals, and e(UR+UO) is the
estimated count of screener eligible households among nonresponding
addresses.
The Topical Completion Rate is the proportion of topical-
eligible households (i.e., occupied residences with children
present) that completed a topical questionnaire. It is equal to I/
HCt, where I is the count of completed topicals and HCt is the
estimated count of households with children in the sample or
S+R+(S+R)/(S+X+R)*e(UR+UO).
\4\ Overall Response Rate is the probability a resolved address
completes a screener questionnaire and then, when eligible,
completes a topical questionnaire.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
II. Method of Collection
The 2023 NSCH plan for the web push data collection design includes
approximately 70% of the production addresses receiving an initial
invite with instructions on how to complete an English or Spanish-
language screener questionnaire via the web. Households that decide to
complete the web-based survey will be taken through the screener
questionnaire to determine if they are eligible for one of three
topical instruments. Households that list at least one child who is 0
to 17 years old in the screener are directed into a topical
questionnaire immediately after the last screener question. If a
household in the web push treatment group decides to complete the paper
screener, the household will receive an additional topical
questionnaire incentive. This group will receive two web survey
invitation letters requesting their participation in the survey prior
to receiving up to two additional paper screener questionnaires in the
second and third follow-up mailings.
The 2023 NSCH plan for the mixed-mode data collection design
includes up to 30% of the production addresses receiving a paper
screener questionnaire in either the initial or the first nonresponse
follow-up and instructions on how to complete an English or Spanish
language screener questionnaire via the web. Households that decide to
complete the web-based survey will follow the same screener and topical
selection path as the web push. Households that choose to complete the
paper screener questionnaire rather than completing the survey on the
internet and that have eligible children will be mailed a paper topical
questionnaire upon receipt of their completed paper screener at the
Census Bureau's National Processing Center. If a household in the
mixed-mode group chooses to complete the paper screener instead of
completing the web-based screener via the internet, then the household
will receive an additional topical questionnaire incentive. This group
will receive both a web survey invitation letter along with a mailed
paper screener questionnaire with either the initial invitation or the
first follow-up and each additional nonresponse follow-up mailing.
