SDOH contribute to health and social inequities for groups with disparities in access to money, power and resources. Many existing ACE datasets involving individual-level respondents cannot be linked to community-level variables. This formative study will link survey data with publicly available data on structural factors (e.g., minimum wage; generosity of unemployment benefits) via USPS zip code or other geographic indicators.

The required information is currently reported by ART programs to CDC as specified in the Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) Program Reporting System (OMB Control No. 0920–0556, Exp. 12/31/2024).

The estimated number of respondents (ART programs or clinics) is 453, based on the number of clinics that provided information in 2021; the estimated average number of responses (ART cycles) per respondent is 913. Additionally, approximately 5–10% of responding clinics will be randomly selected each year to participate in data validation and quality control activities; an estimated 35 clinics will be selected to report validation data on 70 cycles each on average.

(OMB Control No. 0920-0556, Exp. 12/31/2024)--Revision--National Center 
for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers 
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    Section 2(a) of Public Law 102-493 (known as the Fertility Clinic 
Success Rate and Certification Act of 1992 (FCSRCA), 42 U.S.C. 263a-
1(a)) requires that each assisted reproductive technology (ART) program 
shall annually report to the Secretary through the Centers for Disease 
Control and Prevention: (1) pregnancy success rates achieved by such 
ART program; and (2) the identity of each embryo laboratory used by 
such ART program and whether the laboratory is certified or has applied 
for such certification under the Act. The required information is 
currently reported by ART programs to CDC as specified in the Assisted 
Reproductive Technology (ART) Program Reporting System (OMB Control No. 
0920-0556, Exp. 12/31/2024). CDC seeks to revise burden hour estimates, 
modify data elements collected, and to extend OMB approval for a period 
of three years. The revised total burden estimate is higher than the 
previous approval, due to an increase in the utilization of ART in the 
United States and the number of reported cycles. Data elements 
collected will be modified to remove two data elements no longer needed 
and add one new data element to reflect current clinical practice.
    The estimated number of respondents (ART programs or clinics) is 
453, based on the number of clinics that provided information in 2021; 
the estimated average number of responses (ART cycles) per respondent 
is 913. Additionally, approximately 5-10% of responding clinics will be 
randomly selected each year to participate in data validation and 
quality control activities; an estimated 35 clinics will be selected to 
report validation data on 70 cycles each on average. Finally, 
respondents may provide feedback to CDC about the usability and utility 
of the reporting

system. The option to participate in the feedback survey is presented 
to respondents when they complete their required data submission. 
Participation in the feedback survey is voluntary and is not required 
by the FCSRCA. CDC estimates that 50% of ART programs will participate 
in the feedback survey.
    The collection of ART cycle information allows CDC to publish an 
annual report to Congress as specified by the FCSRCA and to provide 
information needed by consumers. OMB approval is requested for three 
years CDC requests approval for an estimated 297,352 annual burden 
hours. There are no costs to respondents other than their time.
