The information collection activities conducted under this extension will continue to garner qualitative customer and stakeholder feedback in an efficient, timely manner, in accordance with the Administration’s commitment to improving service delivery. By qualitative feedback, we mean information that provides useful insights on perceptions and opinions, but are not statistical surveys that yield quantitative results that can be generalized to the population of study. This feedback will provide insights into customer or stakeholder perceptions, experiences and expectations, provide an early warning of issues with service, or focus attention on areas where communication, training, or changes in operations might improve delivery of rate; (6) the methods for assessing potential non-response bias; (7) the protocols for data collection; and (8) any testing procedures that were or will be undertaken prior fielding the study. Depending on the degree of influence the results are likely to have, such collections may still be eligible for submission for other Generic mechanisms that are designed to yield quantitative results. Respondents will be screened and selected from Individuals and Households, Businesses, Organizations, and/or State, Local or Tribal Government(s). The estimated annualized burden hours for this data collection activity are 9,690. There is no cost to respondents other than their time. products or services. These collections will allow for ongoing, collaborative, and actionable communications between CDC and its customers and stakeholders. It will also allow feedback to contribute directly to the improvement of program management. This type of Generic Clearance for qualitative information will not be used for quantitative purposes that are designed to yield reliably actionable results, such as monitoring trends over time or documenting program performance. Such data uses require more rigorous designs that address: (1) the target population to which generalizations will be made; (2) the sampling frame; (3) the sample design (including stratification and clustering); (4) the precision requirements or power calculations that justify the proposed sample size; (5) the expected response ESTIMATED ANNUALIZED BURDEN HOURS Number of responses Burden per response Type of collection Individuals and Households, Businesses, Organizations, and/or State, Local or Tribal Government(s).

Background and Brief Description Section 306 of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C.), 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 of the population of the United States. The National Death Index (NDI) is a database containing identifying death record information submitted annually to NCHS by all the jurisdiction (states and territories) vital statistics offices, beginning with deaths in 1979. Searches against the NDI file provide the jurisdictions and dates of death, and the death certificate numbers of deceased study subjects. Using the NDI Plus service, researchers have the option of also receiving cause of death information for deceased subjects, thus reducing the need to request copies of death certificates from the jurisdictions. The NDI Plus option currently provides the International Classification of Disease (ICD) codes for the underlying and multiple causes of death for the years 1979–2021. Health researchers must complete administrative forms in order to apply for NDI services and submit records of study subjects for computer matching against the NDI file. A three-year revision request is submitted to continue the use of the two administrative forms (the application form and transmittal form) utilized in the operation of the National Death Index (NDI) program, along with worksheets used to calculate related fees. These forms are submitted by NDI users when applying for use of the NDI and when actually using the service. In addition, this request includes the electronic versions that replace the three paper documents, one of which will include a minor reduction in the number of data collection items. The total estimated annual burden hours are 1,276. This represents an increase of 489 hours from 787, due primarily to the increase in applications, and transmittal forms. There is no cost to respondents except for their time.

(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.), 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 of the population of the United 
States.
    The National Death Index (NDI) is a database containing identifying 
death record information submitted annually to NCHS by all the 
jurisdiction (states and territories) vital statistics offices, 
beginning with deaths in 1979. Searches against the NDI file provide 
the jurisdictions and dates of death, and the death certificate numbers 
of deceased study subjects. Using the NDI Plus service, researchers 
have the option of also receiving cause of death information for 
deceased subjects, thus reducing the need to request copies of death 
certificates from the jurisdictions. The NDI Plus option currently 
provides the International Classification of Disease (ICD) codes for 
the underlying and multiple causes of death for the years 1979-2021. 
Health researchers must complete administrative forms in order to apply 
for NDI services and submit records of study subjects for computer 
matching against the NDI file.
    A three-year revision request is submitted to continue the use of 
the two administrative forms (the application form and transmittal 
form) utilized in the operation of the National Death Index (NDI) 
program, along with worksheets used to calculate related fees. These 
forms are submitted by NDI users when applying for use of the NDI and 
when actually using the service. In addition, this request includes the 
electronic versions that replace the three paper documents, one of 
which will include a minor reduction in the number of data collection 
items.
    The total estimated annual burden hours are 1,276. This represents 
an increase of 489 hours from 787, due primarily to the increase in 
applications, and transmittal forms. There is no cost to respondents 
except for their time.
