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 shall 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
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
Data Collection for the Residential
Care Community and Adult Day Service
Center Components of the National
Post-acute and Long-term Care Study
(OMB Control No. 0920–0943 Exp. 7/31/
2025)—Revision—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 health resources . . . [and]
utilization of health care, including
PO 00000
Frm 00129
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
extended care facilities, and other
institutions. NCHS seeks approval to
collect data for the residential care
community (RCC) and adult day
services center (ADSC) components of
the 7th National Post-Acute and LongTerm Care Study (NPALS). A two-year
clearance is requested.
Details on the complete study design
include the following. The NPALS is
designed to: (1) broaden NCHS’ ongoing
coverage of paid, regulated long-term
care (LTC) providers; (2) present
alongside existing administrative data
on LTC providers and service users (i.e.,
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid
Services (CMS) data on inpatient
rehabilitation facilities and patients,
long-term care hospitals and patients,
nursing homes and residents, home
health agencies and patients, and
hospices and patients); (3) update data
more frequently on LTC providers and
service users for which nationally
representative administrative data do
not exist; and (4) enable comparisons
across LTC sectors and timely
monitoring of supply and use of these
sectors over time.
Data will be collected from two types
of LTC providers in the 50 states and the
District of Columbia: 11,600 RCCs and
5,500 ADSCs. Data were collected in
2012, 2014, 2016, 2018, 2020, and 2022.
The data to be collected in 2024 include
the basic characteristics, services,
staffing, and practices of RCCs and
ADSCs, and aggregate-level
distributions of the demographics,
selected health conditions and health
care utilization, physical functioning,
and cognitive functioning of RCC
residents and ADSC participants.
Expected users of data from this
collection effort include, but are not
limited to CDC; other Department of
Health and Human Services (DHHS)
agencies, such as the Office of the
Assistant Secretary for Planning and
Evaluation, The Administration for
Community Living, and the Agency for
Healthcare Research and Quality;
associations, such as LeadingAge,
National Center for Assisted Living,
American Seniors Housing Association,
Argentum, and National Adult Day
Services Association; universities;
foundations; and other private sector
organizations such as the Alzheimer’s
Association and the AARP Public Policy
Institute.
Expected burden from data collection
for eligible cases is 30 minutes per
respondent. An estimated 5% of RCC
and ADSC respondents will have an
additional five minutes of burden to
complete a data retrieval call. We
calculated the burden based on a 100%
response rate. CDC requests OMB
