Proposed Project
The National Health and Nutrition
Examination Survey (NHANES), (OMB
Control No. 0920–0950, Exp. 04/30/
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
PO 00000
Frm 00051
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
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 National Health and Nutrition
Examination Survey (NHANES) is
designed to study the relationship
between diet, nutrition, and health in a
representative sample of the civilian,
non-institutionalized population of the
United States. Information collection
involves a variety of modes and sources
including physical examinations,
laboratory tests, and interviews.
Findings are used to produce
descriptive statistics that measure the
health and nutrition status of the
general population, generate national
reference data on height, weight, and
nutrient levels in the blood, and
monitor the prevalence of chronic
conditions and risk factors for those
conditions.
The NHANES was conducted
periodically between 1970 and 1994 and
has been conducted continuously since
1999 by the NCHS, CDC, in
collaboration with a variety of agencies
that sponsor specific components of
NHANES. To manage participant
burden and respond to changing public
health research needs, NCHS cycles in
and out various components, however,
the study design generally allows results
from more recent NHANES to be
compared to findings reported from
previous surveys. NCHS collects
personally identifiable information (PII)
to allow for linkages to other data
sources such as the National Death
Index and data from the Centers for
Medicare and Medicaid Services.
Participant-level data items include
basic demographic information, name,
address, Social Security Number,
Medicare number and participant health
information.

Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 43 / Monday, March 6, 2023 / Notices
Data collection for the 2021/2022
cycle of NHANES began in August 2021.
The 2021/2022 NHANES physical
examination includes the following
components: anthropometry (all ages),
liver elastography (ages 12 and older),
standing balance (ages 20–69), 24-hour
dietary recall via phone (all ages), blood
pressure measurement (ages eight and
older), and dual X-ray absorptiometry
(DXA) (ages 8–69, total body scan).
While at the examination center,
additional interview questions are asked
of participants and a second 24-hour
dietary recall (all ages) is scheduled to
be conducted by phone 3–10 days later.
The bio specimens collected for
laboratory tests include urine and blood.
Serum, plasma and urine specimens are
stored for future testing, including
genetic research, if the participant
consents. Consent to store DNA is
continuing in NHANES.
Beginning in 2021, NHANES added
the following laboratory tests:
Acetylcholinesterase Enzyme Activity
in whole blood; an Environmental
Toxicant in Washed Red Blood Cells
(Hemoglobin Adducts); Environmental
Toxicants in serum (seven terpenes);
Environmental Toxicants in urine
(seven volatile organic compound (VOC)
metabolites); Infectious Disease Markers
in serum (Enterovirus 68 (EV–D68) and
Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) in
serum); Nutritional Biomarkers in
plasma (Four trans-fatty acids (TFA));
and two Nutritional Biomarkers in
serum. Additionally, at the start of the
2021 survey year, the following
Laboratory Tests were modified: Steroid
hormones in serum (eleven steroid
hormones).
NHANES components that were
cycled out in 2021–22 are the Blood
Pressure Methodology Study and
laboratory tests of Adducts of
Hemoglobin (Acrylamide, Glycidamide)
and Urine flow rate.
Most sections of the NHANES
interviews provide self-reported
information to be used in combination
with specific examination or laboratory
content, as independent prevalence
estimates, or as covariates in statistical
analysis (e.g., socio-demographic
characteristics). Some examples include
alcohol, drug, and tobacco use, sexual
behavior, prescription and aspirin use,
and indicators of oral, bone,
reproductive, and mental health.
Several interview components support
the nutrition-monitoring objective of
NHANES, including questions about
food security and nutrition program
participation, dietary supplement use,
and weight history/self-image/related
behavior.
Burden for individuals varies based
on their level of participation. For
example, infants and children tend to
have shorter interviews and exams than
adults. This is because young people
may have fewer health conditions or
medications to report so their interviews
take less time or because certain exams
are only conducted on individuals 18
and older, etc. In addition, adults often
serve as proxy respondents for young
people in their families. Finally, the
burden estimate for NHANES includes
developmental projects that support the
planning process for future cycles of
information collection. Developmental
projects may include activities such as
tests of new equipment, crossover
studies between current and proposed
methods, test of different study modes,
settings or technology, outreach
materials, incentive strategies, sample
storage and processing or sample
designs.
The 2021/2022 cycle of NHANES
includes a number of modifications
necessitated by the ongoing COVID–19
pandemic, such as additional COVID–19
screening tests and procedures,
additional laboratory content for
COVID–19 serology, decreased use of inperson interviews, and increased use of
telephone interviews and/or audiocomputer assisted self-interview
(ACASI). Selected data collection
components were discontinued from the
NHANES survey and physical exams in
order to manage participant risk and
burden. Some modifications were
described in the Revision request for
NHANES 2021/2022 and further
adjustments were incorporated through
the Change Request mechanism.
The COVID–19 pandemic also
resulted in operational delays. CDC
therefore requests OMB approval to
extend information collection for 18
months in order to complete the 2021/
2022 NHANES as previously approved,
with the COVID–19 modifications such
as multi-mode screening and electronic
consent procedures. The base sample
will remain at approximately 5,000
interviewed and examined individuals
annually. The yearly goal for interview,
exam and post exam components is
5,600 participants. To achieve this goal,
NHANES may need to screen up to
8,300 individuals annually.
Participation in NHANES is voluntary
and confidential. There is no cost to
respondents other than their time. The
total estimated annualized burden is
65,630 hours.

A. Background
The Advisory Panel for Outreach and
Education (APOE) (the Panel) is
governed by the provisions of the
Federal Advisory Committee Act
(FACA) (Pub. L. 92–463), as amended (5
U.S.C. Appendix 2), which sets forth
standards for the formation and use of
federal advisory committees. The Panel
is authorized by section 1114(f) of the
Social Security Act (the Act) (42 U.S.C.
1314(f)) and section 222 of the Public
Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 217a).
The Panel, which was first chartered
in 1999, advises and makes
recommendations to the Secretary of the
U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services (the Department) and the
Administrator of the Centers for
Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) on
the effective implementation of national
Medicare, Medicaid, Children’s Health
Insurance Program (CHIP) and Health
Insurance Marketplace outreach and
education programs.
The APOE has focused on a variety of
laws, including the Medicare
Modernization Act of 2003 (Pub. L. 108–
173), and the Affordable Care Act
(Patient Protection and Affordable Care
Act, (Pub. L. 111–148) and Health Care
and Education Reconciliation Act of
2010 (Pub. L. 111–152)).
The APOE helps the Department
determine the best communication
channels and tactics for various
programs and priorities, as well as new
rules and legislation. In the coming

Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is submitting the information
collection request titled ``The National Health and Nutrition
Examination Survey (NHANES)'' to the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for review and approval. CDC previously published a ``Proposed

Proposed Project
The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), (OMB
Control No. 0920-0950, Exp. 04/30/2023)--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 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) is
designed to study the relationship between diet, nutrition, and health
in a representative sample of the civilian, non-institutionalized
population of the United States. Information collection involves a
variety of modes and sources including physical examinations,
laboratory tests, and interviews. Findings are used to produce
descriptive statistics that measure the health and nutrition status of
the general population, generate national reference data on height,
weight, and nutrient levels in the blood, and monitor the prevalence of
chronic conditions and risk factors for those conditions.
The NHANES was conducted periodically between 1970 and 1994 and has
been conducted continuously since 1999 by the NCHS, CDC, in
collaboration with a variety of agencies that sponsor specific
components of NHANES. To manage participant burden and respond to
changing public health research needs, NCHS cycles in and out various
components, however, the study design generally allows results from
more recent NHANES to be compared to findings reported from previous
surveys. NCHS collects personally identifiable information (PII) to
allow for linkages to other data sources such as the National Death
Index and data from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
Participant-level data items include basic demographic information,
name, address, Social Security Number, Medicare number and participant
health information.
[[Page 13828]]
Data collection for the 2021/2022 cycle of NHANES began in August
2021. The 2021/2022 NHANES physical examination includes the following
components: anthropometry (all ages), liver elastography (ages 12 and
older), standing balance (ages 20-69), 24-hour dietary recall via phone
(all ages), blood pressure measurement (ages eight and older), and dual
X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) (ages 8-69, total body scan). While at the
examination center, additional interview questions are asked of
participants and a second 24-hour dietary recall (all ages) is
scheduled to be conducted by phone 3-10 days later. The bio specimens
collected for laboratory tests include urine and blood. Serum, plasma
and urine specimens are stored for future testing, including genetic
research, if the participant consents. Consent to store DNA is
continuing in NHANES.
Beginning in 2021, NHANES added the following laboratory tests:
Acetylcholinesterase Enzyme Activity in whole blood; an Environmental
Toxicant in Washed Red Blood Cells (Hemoglobin Adducts); Environmental
Toxicants in serum (seven terpenes); Environmental Toxicants in urine
(seven volatile organic compound (VOC) metabolites); Infectious Disease
Markers in serum (Enterovirus 68 (EV-D68) and Human Papilloma Virus
(HPV) in serum); Nutritional Biomarkers in plasma (Four trans-fatty
acids (TFA)); and two Nutritional Biomarkers in serum. Additionally, at
the start of the 2021 survey year, the following Laboratory Tests were
modified: Steroid hormones in serum (eleven steroid hormones).
NHANES components that were cycled out in 2021-22 are the Blood
Pressure Methodology Study and laboratory tests of Adducts of
Hemoglobin (Acrylamide, Glycidamide) and Urine flow rate.
Most sections of the NHANES interviews provide self-reported
information to be used in combination with specific examination or
laboratory content, as independent prevalence estimates, or as
covariates in statistical analysis (e.g., socio-demographic
characteristics). Some examples include alcohol, drug, and tobacco use,
sexual behavior, prescription and aspirin use, and indicators of oral,
bone, reproductive, and mental health. Several interview components
support the nutrition-monitoring objective of NHANES, including
questions about food security and nutrition program participation,
dietary supplement use, and weight history/self-image/related behavior.
Burden for individuals varies based on their level of
participation. For example, infants and children tend to have shorter
interviews and exams than adults. This is because young people may have
fewer health conditions or medications to report so their interviews
take less time or because certain exams are only conducted on
individuals 18 and older, etc. In addition, adults often serve as proxy
respondents for young people in their families. Finally, the burden
estimate for NHANES includes developmental projects that support the
planning process for future cycles of information collection.
Developmental projects may include activities such as tests of new
equipment, crossover studies between current and proposed methods, test
of different study modes, settings or technology, outreach materials,
incentive strategies, sample storage and processing or sample designs.
The 2021/2022 cycle of NHANES includes a number of modifications
necessitated by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, such as additional
COVID-19 screening tests and procedures, additional laboratory content
for COVID-19 serology, decreased use of in-person interviews, and
increased use of telephone interviews and/or audio-computer assisted
self-interview (ACASI). Selected data collection components were
discontinued from the NHANES survey and physical exams in order to
manage participant risk and burden. Some modifications were described
in the Revision request for NHANES 2021/2022 and further adjustments
were incorporated through the Change Request mechanism.
The COVID-19 pandemic also resulted in operational delays. CDC
therefore requests OMB approval to extend information collection for 18
months in order to complete the 2021/2022 NHANES as previously
approved, with the COVID-19 modifications such as multi-mode screening
and electronic consent procedures. The base sample will remain at
approximately 5,000 interviewed and examined individuals annually. The
yearly goal for interview, exam and post exam components is 5,600
participants. To achieve this goal, NHANES may need to screen up to
8,300 individuals annually. Participation in NHANES is voluntary and
confidential. There is no cost to respondents other than their time.
The total estimated annualized burden is 65,630 hours.
