monkeypox and other zoonotic disease
interventions.
The Kinshasa School of Public Health,
Democratic Republic of the Congo
(KSPH, DRC) is in a unique position to
conduct this work, as it has a distinct
role in the public health system of DRC
by being both an institute of the
University of Kinshasa and previously
serving as the bone fide agent of the
Ministry of Health; is the implementing
partner for an open label trial of
JYNNEOS smallpox vaccine in the
healthcare workers of Tshuapa Province
(2017–present), a study that will
continue under the new cooperative
agreement; along with their partners at
the University of Kinshasa, has 10 years
of experience in conducting rigorous
investigations of potential monkeypox
reservoir species; and has continually
maintained a field office in Tshuapa
Province devoted to monkeypox
surveillance and research since 2011.
This longstanding commitment to
working in this area has yielded the
most thorough longitudinal dataset on
monkeypox incidence globally since
smallpox eradication. No other
indigenous or foreign institution has
been able to sustain a continual field
site for this length of time in a
monkeypox-endemic area of DRC.

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 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;
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; and
5. Assess information collection costs.

Background and Brief Description
The compilation of national vital
statistics dates back to the beginning of
the 20th century and has been
conducted since 1960 by the Division of
Vital Statistics of the National Center for
Health Statistics (NCHS), CDC. The
collection of data is authorized by 42
U.S.C. 242k. This submission requests
to continue use of the Annual Vital

Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 5 / Friday, January 7, 2022 / Notices
Statistics Report Form for collection of
annual marriage and divorce/annulment
summary statistics for three years and to
discontinue the Monthly Vital Statistics
Report, which is currently used to
provide counts of monthly occurrences
of births, deaths, and infant deaths. The
collection of the provisional birth and
death data is now being achieved on a
more timely, ongoing basis which
negates the need to continue to use the
monthly form.
Data on vital events are used by the
Department of Health and Human
Services and by other government,
academic, private research, and

commercial organizations for research,
tracking, and policy-making purposes.
Respondents for the Annual Vital
Statistics Reports Form are registration
officials in all 50 States, seven
Territories, including American Samoa,
Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto
Rico, Virgin Islands, the District of
Columbia, and New York City, and the
33 local (county clerk) officials in New
Mexico who record marriages occurring,
and divorces and annulments granted in
each county of New Mexico.
The Annual Vital Statistics
Occurrence Report Form collects final
annual counts of marriages and divorces

by month for the United States and for
each State. These final counts are
usually available from State or county
officials about eight months after the
end of the data year. The data are
widely used by government, academic,
private research, and commercial
organizations in tracking changes in
trends of family formation and
dissolution.
CDC requests approval for an
estimated 46 annual burden hours.
There are no costs to respondents other
than their time.
