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 the 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 will 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; and
4. 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 submissions
of responses.
5. Assess information collection costs.
Proposed Project
Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance
System (BRFSS) (OMB Control Number
0920–1061, expiration 3/31/2018)—
Revision—National Center for Chronic
Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
CDC is requesting OMB approval to
continue information collection for the
Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance
System (BRFSS) for the period of 2018–
2021. The BRFSS is a nationwide
system of cross-sectional telephone
health surveys administered by health
departments in states, territories, and
the District of Columbia (collectively
referred to here as states) in
collaboration with CDC. The BRFSS
produces state-level information
primarily on health risk behaviors,
health conditions, and preventive health
practices that are associated with
chronic diseases, infectious diseases,
and injury.
Designed to meet the data needs of
individual states and territories, the
CDC sponsors the BRFSS information
collection project under a cooperative
agreement with states and territories.
Under this partnership, BRFSS state
coordinators determine questionnaire
content with technical and
methodological assistance provided by
CDC. For most states and territories, the
BRFSS provides the only sources of data
amenable to state and local level health
and health risk indicator uses. Over
time, it has also developed into an
important data collection system that
federal agencies rely on for state and
local health information and to track
national health objectives such as
Healthy People.
CDC bases the BRFSS questionnaire
on modular design principles to
accommodate a variety of state-specific
needs within a common framework. All
participating states are required to
administer a standardized core
questionnaire, which provides a set of
shared health indicators for all BRFSS
partners. The BRFSS core questionnaire
consists of fixed core, rotating core, and
emerging core questions. Fixed core
questions are asked every year. Rotating
core questions cycle on and off the core
questionnaire during even or odd years,
depending on the question. Emerging
core questions are included in the core

PO 00000

Frm 00039

questionnaire as needed to collect data
on urgent or emerging health topics
such as influenza.
In addition, the BRFSS includes a
series of optional modules on a variety
of topics. In off years, when the rotating
questions are not included in the core
questionnaire, they are offered to states
as an optional module. This framework
allows each state to produce a
customized BRFSS survey by appending
selected optional modules to the core
survey. States may select which, if any,
optional modules to administer. As
needed, CDC provides technical and
methodological assistance to state
BRFSS coordinators in the construction
of their state-specific surveys.
The CDC and BRFSS partners produce
a new set of state-specific BRFSS
questionnaires each calendar year (i.e.,
2016 BRFSS questionnaires, 2017
BRFSS questionnaires, etc.). CDC
submits an annual Change Request to
OMB that outlines updates to the BRFSS
core survey and optional modules that
have occurred since the previous year.
Each state administers its BRFSS
questionnaire throughout the calendar
year.
The current estimated average burden
for the core BRFSS interview is 15
minutes. For the optional modules, the
estimated average burden per response
varies by state and year, but is currently
estimated at an additional 15 minutes.
Finally, the BRFSS allows states to
customize some portions of the
questionnaire through the addition of
state-added questions, which CDC does
not review nor approve. State-added
questions are not included in CDC’s
burden estimates.
CDC periodically updates the BRFSS
core survey and optional modules as
new modules or adopt emerging core
questions. The purpose of this Revision
request is to extend the information
collection period for three years and to
incorporate field-testing into the
approved information collection plan.
Field-testing is the final check of
changes in the questionnaire, which
have occurred in the preceding year.
Researchers conduct field-testing in a
manner that mimics the full-scale
project protocol, to the degree that is
feasible. Field-testing allows for
necessary changes in data collection
methods and data collection software.
Researchers use field tests to identify
problems with instrument
documentation or instructions,
problems with conditional logic (e.g.,
skip patterns), software errors or other
implementation and usability issues.
Researchers conduct field-testing with
all new modules, emerging core
questions, sections, which precede and/

or follow any new or changed items and
extant sections, which are topically
related. Researchers also conduct this
testing to identify redundant and
overlapping questions. Extant sections
of the questionnaire unrelated to new
items do not require testing. The
demographic questions on the core

Individuals who participate in fieldtesting are drawn from a different
sample than individuals who participate
in the BRFSS surveys. Participation is
voluntary and there is no cost to
participate. The average time burden per
response will be 22 minutes. The total
time burden across all respondents will
be approximately 241,518 hours.

BRFSS survey are included on each
field test.
CDC will submit change requests to
OMB annually to gain approval to
implement modifications identified in
field tests. Researchers typically
conduct field tests in a single state with
appropriate computer-assisted
telephone interview (CATI) capability.
