Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork
Reduction Act Review
In accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
received approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
conduct the National Center for Health
Statistics (NCHS) Rapid Surveys System
(RSS) [OMB 0920–1408], which
includes fielding several surveys per
year. The 06/30/2023 clearance
approved the round 1 survey. A second,
third, fourth, fifth, and sixth round of
the RSS were additionally approved. In
accordance with the Terms of Clearance,
NCHS will publish a 30-day Federal
Register Notice announcing each new
survey so that public comments can be
received about the specific content of
each survey. This notice includes
specific details about the questions that
would be asked in the seventh round
(Round 7) of the RSS and serves to
allow 30 days for public and affected
agency comments, consistent with
OMB’s terms of clearance.
CDC will accept all comments for this
proposed information collection project.
The Office of Management and Budget
is particularly interested in comments
that:
(a) Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;

(b) Evaluate the accuracy of the
agencies estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
(c) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected;
(d) Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to 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 submission of
responses; and
(e) Assess information collection
costs.
To request additional information on
the proposed project or to obtain a copy
of the information collection plan and
instruments, call (404) 639–7570.
Comments and recommendations for the
proposed information collection should
be sent within 30 days of publication of
this notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/

Proposed Project
Rapid Surveys System (RSS) Round 7
(OMB Control No. 0920–1408) 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.), as
amended, authorizes that the Secretary
of Health and Human Services (HHS),
acting through NCHS, collect data about
the health of the population of the
United States. The RSS (OMB control

PO 00000

Frm 00056

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

No. 0920–1408) collects data on
emerging public health topics, attitudes,
and behaviors using cross-sectional
samples from two commercially
available, national probability-based
online panels. The RSS then combines
these data to form estimates that
approximate national representation in
ways that many data collection
approaches cannot. The RSS collects
data in contexts in which decision
makers’ need for time-sensitive data of
known quality about emerging and
priority health concerns is a higher
priority than their need for statistically
unbiased estimates.
The RSS complements NCHS’s
current household survey systems. As
quicker turnaround surveys that require
less accuracy and precision than CDC’s
more rigorous population representative
surveys, the RSS incorporates multiple
mechanisms to carefully evaluate the
resulting survey data for their
appropriateness for use in public health
surveillance and research (e.g.,
hypothesis generating) and facilitate
continuous quality improvement by
supplementing these panels with
intensive efforts to understand how well
the estimates reflect populations at most
risk. The RSS data dissemination
strategy communicates the strengths and
limitations of data collected through
online probability panels as compared
to more robust data collection methods.
The RSS has three major goals: (1) to
provide CDC and other partners with
time-sensitive data of known quality
about emerging and priority health
concerns; (2) to use these data
collections to continue NCHS’s
evaluation of the quality of public
health estimates generated from
commercial online panels; and (3) to
improve methods to communicate the
appropriateness of public health
estimates generated from commercial
online panels. The RSS is designed to
have several 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.
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. 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 social and
work limitation, employment, health
information technology use, telephone

use, marital status, language used at
home and in other settings, and civic
engagement. All of 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 or other suitable federal
surveys for benchmarking to evaluate
data quality. Panelists in the RSS will be
asked about health status, life
satisfaction, chronic conditions,
diabetes, veteran status, health care
access and utilization, mental health,
and body mass index. Female panelists
will be asked about their pregnancy
history and family planning.
The estimated total annual burden
hours for the three-year approval period
remains at 28,079 burden hours. The
NCHS RSS Round 7 (2025) data
collection is based on 8,000 complete
surveys (2,664 hours). There are no
costs to respondents other than their
time.
