We request a non-substantive change to
OMB control number 0920-1273 to 1) remove the current response
threshold requirement so all jurisdiction data are available for
release to internal and external researchers and 2) change release
of PRAMS multi-jurisdiction data from previously documented
proposal process to the PRAMS Automated Research File (ARF)
process.

CDC will continue to use the
approved Phase 8 questionnaires until April 2023, when the Phase 9
questionnaires will be implemented with changes in content that are
described in an attachment to the ICR. Five states are currently
implementing a web-based mode of data collection which will be made
available as an option for all states in Phase 9. CDC has added a
new IC to account for the burden to states of preparing and
submitting an aggregate data file. There are minor changes to the
estimated number of respondents for the core PRAMS survey, an
expected increase in the use of supplemental modules, and updated
estimates for field testing. Additional information collection
needed to monitor COVID-19 vaccination and experiences was formally
incorporated in 2022 and will continue. The net result is a modest
decrease in total estimated annualized burden of 2,373 hours. In
addition, note that the change in the total cost burden appears to
be very large. However, the change in total cost burden is
associated with the change in accounting method. In the past, CDC
reported the cost burden for each IC as the wage-equivalents that
appear in Section 12.B of the supporting statement. Consistent with
the rest of HHS, CDC is now reporting the total from Section 13 in
the "burden cost" field for each IC. Section 13 covers nonwage
costs (e.g., equipment). As such, costs associated with these ICs
are now "zero."
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies

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;

(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
