Previous terms continue: Approved consistent with the understanding that CDC will coordinate with NCHS and SAMHSA in the development of the opioid questions. CDC may submit non-substantive change requests when changes to this ICR are limited to modifying existing questions, including those designed to add depth/additional detail, and cycle in and out question modules that have been cleared under this OMB number in the past years (with modest updates). CDC is required to submit a full revision request to OMB for modules on the topics that have not previously been approved by OMB for use in BRFSS or changes to the study design, sample frame, weighting, or administration protocol

The BRFSS is a coordinated system of customized surveys conducted by U.S. states, territories, and the District of Columbia. Respondents are adults 18 years of age and older. Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) surveys are conducted in collaboration with U.S. states, territories, and the District of Columbia. The surveys will produce state- or sub-state jurisdiction-level data about health-related risk behaviors, chronic health conditions, use of preventive services, and emerging health issues. CDC also creates a national level dataset that is used by HHS to evaluate its progress toward Healthy People 2020 goals and other policy needs. To ensure that BRFSS content is relevant to the current needs of BRFSS partners, CDC updates selected items in the core questionnaire and/or the optional modules on an annual basis.
This Change Request applies to the 2021 cycle of BRFSS data collection. CDC requests OMB approval for edits to the core questionnaire; edits to selected optional modules; minor changes to the data collectors' protocol; and approval to use the PRA waiver for questions about COVID-19 vaccination, after vaccinations are available to the public. No change in burden is requested.
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.
