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.

Background and Brief Description
The Division of Reproductive Health
(DRH) at the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC) and the HHS
Office of Population Affairs (OPA)
develop and disseminate guidance to
improve the use of contraception and
the delivery of quality family planning
services. The U.S. Medical Eligibility

Criteria for Contraceptive Use (US
MEC), the first national guidance on
family planning containing evidencebased recommendations for the safe use
of contraceptive methods for women
and men with specific characteristics
and medical conditions, was first
published by the CDC in June 2010. The
US Selected Practice Recommendations
for Contraceptive Use (US SPR), which
provides guidance on how to use
contraceptive methods safely and
effectively once they are deemed to be
medically appropriate, was first
published by the CDC in June 2013. The
US MEC and US SPR were updated after
review of the scientific evidence and
consultation with national experts in
family planning; the revised US MEC
and US SPR were published in August
2016. Providing Quality Family
Planning Services (QFP), which
provides evidence-informed
recommendations to improve client care
and service delivery infrastructure to
support the provision of quality family
planning services to women and men of
reproductive age in the United States,
was published by CDC and OPA in
April 2014. The US MEC, US SPR, and
QFP have been widely disseminated to
health care providers and other
constituents via professional
organizations, federal program grantees,
scientific and programmatic meetings,
scientific manuscripts, online resources,
and other avenues.
To monitor changes in attitudes and
practices regarding provision of
contraception among family planning
providers and clinics, we initiated a
multi-phase assessment. In 2009–2010,
CDC carried out the first phase of the
assessment, collecting information
before the release of the US MEC (OMB
No. 0920–0008). In 2013–2014, CDC, in
collaboration with OPA, carried out the
second phase of the assessment,
collecting information before the release
of the US SPR and QFP (OMB No. 0920–
0969). These information collections
provided useful knowledge about
attitudes and practices of family
planning providers. CDC and OPA used
the findings to develop educational
materials and opportunities for health
care providers.
In 2018, in collaboration with OPA,
CDC plans to request a reinstatement of
OMB No. 0920–0969, ‘Monitoring
Changes in Attitudes and Practices
among Family Planning Providers and
Clinics’ to carry out the third phase of
the assessment. As in the previous
phases, the information collection will
allow CDC and OPA to improve family
planning-related practice by: (1)
Understanding the current use of
contraception guidance in practice,

including awareness and use of the US
MEC, US SPR and QFP; (2) describing
current attitudes and practices among
family planning providers and clinics
related to recommendations included in
the US MEC, US SPR, and QFP and
assessing changes from previous data
collections; and (3) identifying training
needs in use of guidance and family
planning service delivery (e.g., provider
tools, continuing education modules).
As in previous phases of data
collection, CDC plans to administer

The estimated burden per response for

changed since the previous OMB
approval. The estimated burden per

administrators. Minor changes to survey
content will be made to eliminate
unnecessary questions, add new
questions of interest, and improve
