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 proposed information collection, as
required by the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995. This notice invites
comment on a proposed information
collection project titled Research Data
Center Data Security Forms for Access
to Confidential Data. CDC National
Center for Health Statistics (NCHS)
plans to collect information from the
public for the purpose of evidence
building using security forms, along
with the corresponding security
protocols, that allow NCHS to maintain
careful controls on confidentiality and
privacy, as required by law.

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 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
Research Data Center (RDC) Data
Security Forms for Access to
Confidential Data—Existing Collection
in use without an OMB Control
Number—National Center for Health
Statistics (NCHS), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Section 306(b)(4) of the Public Health
Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C. 242k(b)(4)),
as amended, authorizes the Secretary of
Health and Human Services (HHS),
acting through the National Center for
Health Statistics (NCHS), to receive
requests for furnishing statistics to the
public. NCHS receives requests for
statistics from the public through the
Standard Application Process (SAP).
The public may apply to access
confidential data assets held by a
Federal statistical agency or unit
through the SAP for the purposes of
generating statistics and developing
evidence. Once an application for
confidential data is approved through
the SAP, NCHS will collect information
to meet its data security requirements
through its Data Security Forms. This
information collection through the Data
Security Forms will occur outside of the
SAP. This is a request for approval from
OMB to collect information via the
Researcher Data Center (RDC) Data
Security Forms over the next three
years.
As part of a comprehensive data
dissemination program, the RDC/NCHS/
CDC requires prospective researchers
who need access to confidential data to
complete a research proposal.
Researchers self-select whether they
need access to confidential data to
answer their research questions. The
RDC requires the researcher to complete
a research proposal, so NCHS
understands the research proposed. The
completed proposal is sent to NCHS
through the SAP portal for review and
adjudication. If the research proposal is
approved by NCHS, then the researcher
must fill out two of three data security
forms. If the researcher will access the
data at a RDC, then the ‘‘Data Access
Form’’ and the ‘‘Designated Agent
Form’’ would need to be completed and
returned to NCHS. If the researcher will

access the data through the NCHS
Virtual Data Enclave (VDE), then the
‘‘VDE Data Use Agreement Form’’ and
the ‘‘Designated Agent Form’’ would
need to be completed and returned to
NCHS.
In order to capture the information
needed to adjudicate a researcher’s
commitment to protect confidential
NCHS data, researchers must complete
and sign the data security forms. This
request allows for both researcher

In accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers for

has submitted the information
collection request titled ‘‘Collaborating
Center for Questionnaire Design and
Evaluation for the National Center for
Health Statistics’’ to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and approval. CDC previously
published a ‘‘Proposed Data Collection
Submitted for Public Comment and
Recommendations’’ notice on
September 30, 2022 to obtain comments
from the public and affected agencies.
CDC did not receive comments related
to the previous notice. This notice
serves to allow an additional 30 days for
public and affected agency comments.
CDC will accept all comments for this
proposed information collection project.
The Office of Management and Budget
is particularly interested in comments
that:
(a) 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;
(b) Evaluate the accuracy of the
agencies estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,

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 undertake
and support (by grant or contract)
research, demonstrations, and
evaluations respecting new or improved
methods for obtaining current data to
support statistical and epidemiological
activities for the purpose of improving
the effectiveness, efficiency, and quality
of health services in the United States.
The Collaborating Center for
Questionnaire Design and Evaluation
Research (CCQDER) is the focal point
within NCHS for questionnaire and
survey development, pre-testing, and
evaluation activities for CDC surveys
such as the National Survey of Family
Growth (NSFG), the Research and
Development Survey (RANDS)
(including RANDS COVID), and other
federally sponsored surveys. The
CCQDER is requesting three years of
OMB Clearance for this Generic
submission.
The CCQDER and other NCHS
programs conduct cognitive interviews,
focus groups, in-depth or ethnographic
interviews, usability tests, field tests/
pilot interviews, and experimental
research in laboratory and field settings,
both for applied questionnaire
development and evaluation as well as
more basic research on measurement
errors and survey response. Various
techniques to evaluate interviewer
administered, self-administered,
telephone, Computer Assisted Personal
Interviewing (CAPI), Computer Assisted
Self-Interviewing (CASI), Audio
Computer-Assisted Self-Interviewing
(ACASI), and web-based questionnaires
are used.
The most common questionnaire
evaluation method is the cognitive
interview. These evaluations are
conducted by the CCQDER. The
interview structure consists of
respondents first answering a draft
survey question and then providing
textual information to reveal the
processes involved in answering the test

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), Federal agencies must obtain approval from

In order to capture the information needed to adjudicate a
researcher's commitment to protect confidential NCHS data, researchers
must complete and sign the data security forms. This request allows for
both researcher signature and the time per response for a total
estimated annual burden total of 110 hours. There is no cost to
respondents other than their time to complete the forms.
