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.
    Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance

[[Page 10625]]

of the functions of the agency, including whether the information shall 
have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of 
the burden of the proposed collection of information; (c) ways to 
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be 
collected; (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of 
information on respondents, including through the use of automated 
collection techniques or other forms of information technology; and (e) 
estimates of capital or start-up costs and costs of operation, 
maintenance, and purchase of services to provide information. Burden 
means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by 
persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose or provide information 
to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time needed to review 
instructions; to develop, acquire, install and utilize technology and 
systems for the purpose of collecting, validating and verifying 
information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and 
providing information; to train personnel and to be able to respond to 
a collection of information, to search data sources, to complete and 
review the collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise 
disclose the information.

Proposed Project

    2017 and 2019 National Youth Risk Behavior Surveys (OMB Control No. 
0920-0493)--Reinstatement with change--National Center for HIV/AIDS, 
Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease 
Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The purpose of this request is to obtain OMB approval to reinstate 
with change, the data collection for the National Youth Risk Behavior 
Survey (YRBS), a school-based survey that has been conducted biennially 
since 1991. OMB approval for the 2013 YRBS and 2015 YRBS expired 
September 30, 2015 (OMB Control No. 0920-0493). CDC seeks a three-year 
approval to conduct the YRBS in Spring 2017 and Spring 2019. Minor 
changes incorporated into this reinstatement request include: An 
updated title for the information collection to accurately reflect the 
years in which the survey will be conducted, minor changes to the data 
collection instrument, and a reclassification of urban status for 
schools based on a different variable now present in the commercially 
available sampling frame.
    The YRBS assesses priority health risk behaviors related to the 
major preventable causes of mortality, morbidity, and social problems 
among both youth and young adults in the United States. Data on health 
risk behaviors of adolescents are the focus of approximately 65 
national health objectives in Healthy People 2020, an initiative of the 
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The YRBS provides 
data to measure 20 of the health objectives and 1 of the Leading Health 
Indicators established by Healthy People 2020. In addition, the YRBS 
can identify racial and ethnic disparities in health risk behaviors. No 
other national source of data measures as many of the Healthy People 
2020 objectives addressing adolescent health risk behaviors as the 
YRBS. The data also will have significant implications for policy and 
program development for school health programs nationwide.
    In Spring 2017 and Spring 2019, the YRBS will be conducted among 
nationally representative samples of students attending public and 
private schools in grades 9-12. Information supporting the YRBS also 
will be collected from state-, district-, and school-level 
administrators and teachers. The table below reports the number of 
respondents annualized over the 3-year project period.
    There are no costs to respondents except their time. The total 
estimated annualized burden hours are 7,822.
