online panels. The RSS is designed to
have four rounds of data collection each
year with data being collected by two
contractors with probability panels. A
cross-sectional nationally representative
sample will be drawn from the online
probability panel maintained by each of
the contractors. As part of the base
(minimum sample size), each round of
data collection will collect 2,000
responses per quarter. The RSS can be
expanded by increasing the number of
completed responses per round or the
number of rounds per year as needed up
to a maximum of 28,000 responses per
year per contractor or 56,000 total
responses per year. Additionally, each
data collection may include up to 2,000
additional responses per quarter (8,000
for the year) to improve
representativeness. This increases the
maximum burden by up to 16,000
responses per year. The RSS may also
target individual surveys to collect data
only from specific subgroups within
existing survey panels and may
supplement data collection for such
groups with additional respondents
from other probability or nonprobability
samples. An additional 12,000
responses per year may be used for
these developmental activities. Survey
questions being asked of the panelists
will be cognitively tested. This cognitive
testing will help survey users interpret
the findings by understanding how
respondents answer each question.
Each round’s questionnaire will
consist of four main components: (1)
basic demographic information on
respondents to be used as covariates in
analyses; (2) new, emerging, or
supplemental content proposed by
NCHS, other CDC Centers, Institute, and
Offices, and other HHS agencies; (3)
questions used for calibrating the survey
weights; and (4) additional content
selected by NCHS to evaluate against
relevant benchmarks. NCHS will use
questions from Components 1 and 2 to
provide relevant, timely data on new,
emerging, and priority health topics to
be used for decision making. NCHS will
use questions from Components 3 and 4
to weight and evaluate the quality of the
estimates coming from questions in
Components 1 and 2. Components 1 and
2 will contain different topics in each
round of the survey. NCHS submits a
30-day Federal Register Notice with
information on the contents of each
round of data collection.
NCHS calibrates survey weights from
the RSS to gold standard surveys.
Questions used for calibration in this
round of RSS will include marital
status, employment, social and work
limitations, use of the internet in
general and for medical reasons,
telephone use, civic engagement, and
language used at home and in other
settings. All these questions have been
on the National Health Interview Survey
(NHIS) in prior years allowing
calibration to these data.
Finally, all RSS rounds will include
several questions that were previously
on NHIS for benchmarking to evaluate
data quality. Panelists in the RSS will be
asked about health status; chronic
conditions; disability; healthcare access
and utilization; health behaviors; and
food insecurity.
The estimated total annual burden
hours for the three-year approval period
remains at 28,079 burden hours. The
NCHS RSS Round 3 (2024) data
collection is based on 13,100 complete
surveys (4,367 hours) and 20 cognitive
interviews (20 hours) using the same
survey instrument for a total of 4,387
hours. There are no costs to respondents
other than their time.

Proposed Project
U.S. National Authority for
Containment of Poliovirus Data
Collection Tools—New—Office of
Readiness and Response (ORR), Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The role of the National Authority for
Containment (U.S. NAC) of Poliovirus is
to ensure that the requirements
established in the World Health
Organization (WHO) Global Action Plan
(GAP) III/IV standard are effectively
implemented and maintained in
facilities working with or storing
infectious poliovirus or potentially
infectious materials. Risk assessments
following an incident are a critical
component for adequate application of
the GAP standard. To support risk
assessment activities, The ‘‘Facility
Incident Reporting Form for Poliovirus
Release and Potential Exposure’’ and the
‘‘Facility Incident Reporting Form for
Poliovirus Theft or Loss’’ forms were
created for facilities to capture and
submit incident information to the U.S.
NAC. These forms will not only address
the biosafety and biosecurity
containment emergency elements of the
GAP standard but will also inform the
U.S. NAC risk assessments and thereby,
guide CDC’s determination of the
emergency response level and direction.
The information collected in the
‘‘Personal Protective Equipment Survey
for Laboratories’’ will assist the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC), U.S. NAC and National Institute
for Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH) with developing guidance and
recommendations for PPE selection and
use in support of poliovirus
containment, as well as identify
laboratory PPE commonly used to
evaluate laboratory PPE performance
characteristics in testing studies.
Information collected in the ‘‘Global
Action Plan (GAP) Poliovirus
Containment Poliovirus-Essential
Facility Assessment Checklist’’ will aid
U.S. facilities in preparing for an audit
to obtain a poliovirus certificate of
containment. Data collected from this
form will also collect additional
information on poliovirus materials
held by a U.S. facility, their work
activities, and facility features.
The ‘‘Poliovirus Containment
Sampling Plan and Sanitation
Assessment Form for Wastewater (WW)
Systems Supporting a PoliovirusEssential Facility (PEF) in the United
States’’ form will collect information to
assess a poliovirus facility’s essential
WW system, the primary safeguards to
reduce and control the release of
poliovirus from the facility. In addition,
it will verify the safeguards of local WW
utilities that receive WW from the PEF.
OMB approval is sought for three
years. The annualized time burden for
this information collection is estimated
to be 125 hours. There is no cost to
respondents other than their time.
