RANDS during COVID-19 will allow NCHS to quickly obtain and disseminate information about the access to health care during the coronavirus pandemic. In addition, data will be collected that allows understanding the quality of other pandemic-related surveys. This work includes a component of already planned research regarding the ways NCHS might leverage commercially-created and maintained survey panels to supplement and expand NCHS' methodological research.
The quickly evolving situation surrounding the outbreak, and the fact that CDC requires timely surveillance information for policy and communication decisions, requires emergency review and clearance to allow for immediate information collection.
CDC cannot reasonably comply with the normal clearance given the urgent necessity to protect the American public from the continued spread of this health threat. Therefore, CDC requests a 180-day emergency clearance to launch this pair of general population surveys to obtain data about the outbreak and the publicâs response to it.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
