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.

for Health Statistics (NCHS), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The compilation of national vital
statistics by the Federal government
dates to the beginning of the 20th
century. To administer these functions,
the National Office of Vital Statistics
was established in the Public Health
Service in April 1953. In August of
1960, the National Office of Vital
Statistics was reorganized as the
Division of Vital Statistics in the newly
created National Center for Health
Statistics (NCHS), which is now part of
the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
One of the functions of NCHS is to
plan and administer a program to
provide statistics on births, deaths, fetal
deaths, marriages, and divorces reported
in the National Vital Statistics System.
This includes promoting the uniform
collection of data on these events and
providing technical assistance to the
registration areas; conducting follow
back surveys to expand the scope of
national vital statistics beyond the data
available from vital records; preparing
life tables and analyses of life table
phenomena; and investigating the
quality and reliability of data and
methodology.
One part of this function is to provide
national final counts of marriage, and
divorce occurrences following the end
of each year. The collection of the data
is authorized by 42 U.S.C. 242k.
Provisional counts of marriages and
divorces are disseminated
electronically. This form is the sole
source of final counts for these two
events. These data have been published
since 1937 and are the sole source of
this information at the national level.
The data are used by the Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS) and
by other government, academic, and
private research organizations in
tracking changes in trends of vital
events. The counts of events requested
on the form are necessary to the
administration of this portion of the
program.
CDC requests OMB approval for an
estimated 46 annual burden hours.
There are no costs to respondents other
than their time.

Proposed Project
CDC Model Performance Evaluation
Program (MPEP) for Mycobacterium
tuberculosis Drug Susceptibility Testing
(OMB Control No. 0920–0600, Exp. 9/
30/2025)—Extension—National Center
for HIV, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB
Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The CDC is requesting an Extension of
a currently approved information
collection request (ICR) titled CDC
Model Performance Evaluation Program
(MPEP) for Mycobacterium tuberculosis
(TB) Drug Susceptibility Testing for a
period of three years. The Extension
submitted for this ICR will not require
changes in the scope of the project.
As part of the Extension, CDC is
requesting a non-substantive change to
the title of the data collection to CDC
Model Performance Evaluation (MPEP)
for Mycobacterium tuberculosis Drug
Susceptibility Testing to reflect that
nontuberculous mycobacteria are no
longer included in the program.
While the overall number of cases of
TB in the U.S. has remained fairly
stable, rates still remain high among
foreign-born persons, persons in
correctional facilities, homeless
populations, and individuals infected
with HIV in major metropolitan areas.
To reach the goal of eliminating TB, the
Model Performance Evaluation Program
for Mycobacterium tuberculosis drug
susceptibility testing is used to monitor
and evaluate performance and practices
among U.S. laboratories performing M.
tuberculosis susceptibility testing.
Participation in this program is one way
