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 shall 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
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.
Proposed Project
Data collection for the residential care
community and adult day service center
components of the National Post-Acute
and Long-Term Care Study (OMB
Control No. 0920–0943, Exp. 09/30/
2023)—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. 242k), as
amended, authorizes that the Secretary
of Health and Human Services (DHHS),
acting through NCHS, ‘‘shall collect
statistics on health resources . . . [and]
utilization of health care, including
extended care facilities, and other
institutions.’’

NCHS seeks approval to collect data
for the residential care community
(RCC) and adult day services center
(ADSC) survey components of the 6th
National Post-Acute and Long-Term
Care Study or NPALS (formerly known
as the National Study of Long-Term
Care Providers or NSLTCP). A two-year
clearance is requested.
The NPALS is designed to; (1)
broaden NCHS’ ongoing coverage of
paid, regulated long-term care (LTC)
providers; (2) merge with existing
administrative data on LTC providers
and service users (i.e., Centers for
Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS)
data on inpatient rehabilitation facilities
and patients, long-term care hospitals
and patients, nursing homes and
residents, home health agencies and
patients, and hospices and patients); (3)
update data more frequently on LTC
providers and service users for which
nationally representative administrative
data do not exist; and (4) enable
comparisons across LTC sectors and
monitor supply and use of these sectors
over time.

Community Living, and the Agency for
Healthcare Research and Quality;
associations, such as LeadingAge,
National Center for Assisted Living,
American Seniors Housing Association,
Argentum, and National Adult Day
Services Association; universities;
foundations; and other private sector
organizations such as the Alzheimer’s
Association, the AARP Public Policy
Institute, and the National Academies of
Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine.
Expected burden from data collection
for eligible cases is 60 minutes per
respondent; 30 minutes for a provider
questionnaire and 30 minutes for a
services user questionnaire. Fifty
respondents will have an additional 30
minutes of expected burden for data
collection about EHR data elements. We
calculated the burden based on a 100%
response rate. Two-year clearance is
requested to cover the collection of data.
The burden for the collection is shown
in the Table below. There is no cost to
respondents other than their time to
participate.

Data will be collected from two types
of LTC providers in the 50 states and the
District of Columbia: 2,090 RCCs and
1,650 ADSCs. Data were collected in
2012, 2014, 2016, 2018, and 2020. The
data to be collected in 2022 include the
basic characteristics, services, staffing,
and practices of RCCs and ADSCs, and
demographics, selected health
conditions and health care utilization,
physical functioning, and cognitive
functioning of RCC residents and ADSC
participants. The 2022 NPALS will
include provider and services user
questionnaires. Directors of 25 RCCs
and 25 ADSCs that have adopted an
EHR platform will complete an
additional questionnaire to identify and
confirm the data elements, any local
customization, and export and
transmission capabilities.
Expected users of data from this
collection effort include, but are not
limited to; CDC, other Department of
Health and Human Services (DHHS)
agencies, such as the Office of the
Assistant Secretary for Planning and
Evaluation, the Administration for
