2009 and 2011 National Youth Risk
Behavior Surveys (YRBS) (OMB No.
0920–0493)—Reinstatement—National
Center for Chronic Disease Prevention
and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The purpose of this request is to
obtain OMB approval to continue data
collection for the National Youth Risk
Behavior Survey (YRBS), a school-based
survey that has been conducted
biennially since 1991. OMB approval for
the 2005 YRBS and 2007 YRBS expired
November 30, 2007 (OMB No. 0920–
0493). CDC seeks a three-year approval
to conduct the YRBS in Spring 2009 and
Spring 2011. Minor changes
incorporated into this reinstatement
request include: An updated title for the
information collection, to accurately
reflect the years in which the survey
will be conducted; minor changes to the
burden estimate; and minor changes to
the data collection instrument.
The YRBS assesses priority health risk
behaviors related to the major
preventable causes of mortality,
morbidity, and social problems among
both youth and young adults in the
United States. Data on health risk
behaviors of adolescents are the focus of
approximately 40 national health

objectives in Healthy People 2010, an
initiative of the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS). The
YRBS provides data to measure at least
10 of the health objectives and 3 of the
10 Leading Health Indicators
established by Healthy People 2010. In
addition, the YRBS can identify racial
and ethnic disparities in health risk
behaviors. No other national source of

students attending public and private
schools in grades 9–12. Information
supporting the YRBS also will be
collected from school administrators
and teachers. The table below reports

except their time.

data measures as many of the Healthy
People 2010 objectives addressing
adolescent behaviors as the YRBS. The
data also will have significant
implications for policy and program
development for school health programs
nationwide.
In Spring 2009 and Spring 2011, the
YRBS will be conducted among
nationally representative samples of

National Blood Lead Surveillance
System (OMB No. 0920–0337)—
Revision—National Center for
Environmental Health (NCEH),
Coordinating Center for Environmental
Health and Injury Prevention (CCEHIP),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The National Blood Lead Surveillance
System (NBLSS) would like to continue
its effort to collect information related to
lead exposure among children less than
six years old. The overarching goal of
this system is to establish Childhood
Lead Surveillance Systems at the state
and national levels. This is a revision
request in addition to a 3-year revision
with an increase in the burden hours
and inclusion of the adult blood lead
surveillance system. As part of this
effort we would like to revise this
application to include 3 additional State
and local Childhood Lead Poisoning
Prevention Programs (CLPPP) who
report to the NBLSS. These three
programs were added to help provide a
more comprehensive picture of

on respondents, including through the

childhood lead poisoning in the United
States.
The objectives for developing this
system are three-fold. First, we would
like to use surveillance data to estimate
the extent of elevated blood-lead levels
(BLLs) among children less than 6 years
old. This is important because it will
allow us to systematically track the
management and follow-up of those
children found to be poisoned with
lead.
Our next objective for the
development of this system is to
examine potential sources of lead
exposure. Although we’ve been
successful in eliminating atmospheric
lead with the use of unleaded gasoline
and have continued to make strides in
the elimination of household sources of
lead commonly found in paint and dust,
recent events have highlighted other
potentially hidden sources of lead. This
system will allow us to track the burden
of such hidden sources and will help us
eliminate such threats with the
establishment of laws aimed at
preventing the importation of such
goods into our nation. The
establishment of such laws will of
course be a joint effort between several
federal agencies; however, this
surveillance system will help facilitate
our efforts.
The final objective of this system is to
facilitate the allocation of resources for
lead poison prevention activities. The
allocation of federal resources to State
surveillance systems are based on
reports of blood-lead tests from
laboratories. Ideally, laboratories report
results of all lead tests to the state health
department. State health departments
