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 the 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.
Proposed Project
National Electronic Health Records
Survey (NEHRS) (OMB Control No.
0920–1015)—Reinstatement—National
Center for Health Statistics (NCHS),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The National Center for Health
Statistics (NCHS) requests a
Reinstatement with a Change for a threeyear clearance to the National Electronic
Health Records Survey (NEHRS). NCHS
is requesting approval to collect data for
2024, 2025, and 2026 NEHRS cohorts.
NEHRS is a national survey of officebased physicians conducted by NCHS,
and sponsored by the Office of the
National Coordinator for Health
Information Technology (ONC),

Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS). The survey is
conducted under the authority of
section 306 of the Public Health Service
Act (42U.S.C. 242k).
Although there are other surveys that
collect information from United States
office-based physicians, NEHRS is
unique in that it provides nationally
representative information about the use
of electronic health records (EHR) and
other health information technologies.
Additional justifications for conducting

respect to electronically sending,
receiving, integrating, and searching for
patient health information through these
systems. Improving interoperability of
electronic health information is a major
priority for ONC, and NEHRS provides
ONC with data on physicians’
experience with interoperability.
CDC requests OMB approval for an
estimated 5,544 annual burden hours.
There is no cost to respondents other
than their time to participate.

future rounds of NEHRS include the
need for more complete data to study:
(1) documentation of social needs; (2)
trends in interoperability; (3) the
exchange of patient health information
with public health agencies; and (4) the
use of telemedicine technology. The
new data collections will reestablish
trends of patient health information
exchange with public health agencies,
telemedicine technology use, as well as
the evolving engagement in
interoperability; particularly with

Proposed Project
Asthma Information and Reporting
System (AIRS) (OMB Control No. 0920–
0853, Exp. 5/31/2023)—Extension—
National Center for Environmental
Health (NCEH), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
In 1999, the CDC began its National
Asthma Control Program (NACP), a
public health approach to address the
burden of asthma. The program
supports the proposed objectives of
‘‘Healthy People 2030’’ for asthma and
is based on the public health principles
of surveillance, partnerships,
interventions, and evaluation. CDC
requests a three-year approval for an
Extension of Asthma Information
Reporting System (AIRS) (OMB Control
No. 0920–0853; Expiration Date 5/31/
2023).
The three-year approval will allow
CDC to continue to monitor states’
program planning and delivery of public
health activities and the programs’
collaboration with health care systems
through a new five-year cooperative
agreement—A Comprehensive Public
Health Approach to Asthma Control
through Evidence-Based Interventions
(CDC–RFA–EH19–1902).
The goal of this data collection is to
provide NCEH with routine information
about the activities and performance of
the State, local and Territorial recipients
funded under the NACP through an
annual reporting system. NACP requires
recipients to report activities related to
partnerships, infrastructure, evaluation
and interventions to monitor the
programs’ performance in reducing the
