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; 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
National Health Interview Survey
(NHIS) (OMB No. 0920–0214, Exp. 12/
31/2020)—Revision—National Center
for Health Statistics (NCHS), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Section 306 of the Public Health
Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C.), as
amended, authorizes that the Secretary
of Health and Human Services (HHS),

E:\FR\FM\16APN1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 74 / Thursday, April 16, 2020 / Notices
acting through NCHS, shall collect
statistics on the extent and nature of
illness and disability of the population
of the United States. The annual
National Health Interview Survey
(NHIS) is a major source of general
statistics on the health of the U.S.
population and has been in the field
continuously since 1957. This voluntary
and confidential household-based
survey collects demographic and healthrelated information from a nationallyrepresentative sample of households
and noninstitutionalized, civilian
persons throughout the country. NHIS
data have long been used by
government, academic, and private
researchers to evaluate both general
health and specific issues, such as
smoking, diabetes, health care coverage,
and access to health care. The survey is
also a leading source of data for the
Congressionally-mandated ‘‘Health US’’
and related publications, as well as the
single most important source of
statistics to track progress toward HHS
health objectives.
The NHIS sample adult and sample
child questionnaires include annual
core content that is scheduled to be
fielded in the survey every year, rotating
content that is fielded periodically,
emerging content to address new topics
of growing interest, and sponsored
content that is fielded when external
funding is available. Rotating sample
adult and sample child core content that
was on the NHIS in 2020 and will rotate

and protection will not be on the 2021
NHIS. New sponsored cancer control
content will focus on screenings for
breast, cervical, prostate, and colon
cancer using similar questions to what
were used in the 2019 NHIS.
Anticipated new sponsored content
include questions on epilepsy
(previously fielded in 2010, 2013, 2015,
and 2017) and occupational health.
Like in past years, and in accordance
with the 1995 initiative to increase the
integration of surveys within the DHHS,
respondents to the 2021 NHIS will serve
as the sampling frame for the Medical
Expenditure Panel Survey conducted by
the Agency for Healthcare Research and
Quality. A subsample of NHIS
respondents and/or members of
commercial survey panels may be
identified to participate in short, webbased methodological and cognitive
testing activities to evaluate the
questionnaire and/or inform the
development of new rotating and
sponsored content using web and/or
mail survey tools. In addition,
subsamples of NHIS respondents may
be recontacted by web, phone, or mail
to ask follow-up questions on topics that
are already included in the NHIS. In the
future, a subsample of NHIS
respondents may also be re-contacted
for a brief health exam. There is no cost
to the respondents other than their time.
Clearance is sought for three years, to
collect data for 2021–2023.

off the 2021 NHIS includes dental
services, other provider services, and
physical activity. Content on walking,
sleep, fatigue, smoking history and
cessation and alcohol use will also
rotate off the sample adult core.
Questions on neighborhood
characteristics, sleep, screen time, and
height and weight will rotate off the
sample child core.
The 2021 sample adult and sample
child rotating core will include
questions about health conditions that
were previously fielded in the 2018
NHIS. The 2021 rotating sample adult
core will include questions on hearing
and communication, psychological
distress, chronic pain, preventive
screening, and aspirin use. The
questions on chronic pain, preventive
screening and aspirin use were all
previously fielded as part of the 2019
rotating core. Questions on
psychological distress and hearing and
communication were previously fielded
as part of the 2018 NHIS. The 2021
sample child rotating core will include
items on stressful life events which
were previously fielded in 2019.
Sponsored content on asthma will be
removed from both the sample adult
and sample child questionnaires.
Sponsored content on cancer control,
immunizations, and diabetes will
remain, but the content will change.
Sponsored cancer control content on
cigarette history, lung cancer screening,
environment for walking and sun care
