collection of information, including the validity of the methodology 
and assumptions used; (c) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of 
the information to be collected; (d) Minimize the burden of the 
collection of information on those who are to respond, including

Proposed Project

    NCHS Vital Statistics Training Application (OMB Control No. 0920-
0217, exp. 5/31/2016)--Revision--National Center for Health Statistics 
NCHS), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    In the United States, legal authority for the registration of vital 
events, i.e., births, deaths, marriages, divorces, fetal deaths, and 
induced terminations of pregnancy, resides individually with the States 
(as well as cities in the case of New York City and Washington, DC) and 
Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the 
Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. These governmental 
entities are the full legal proprietors of vital records and the 
information contained therein. As a result of this State authority, the 
collection of registration-based vital statistics at the national 
level, referred to as the U.S. National Vital Statistics System (NVSS), 
depends on a cooperative relationship between the States and the 
Federal government. This data collection, authorized by 42 U.S.C. 242k, 
has been carried out by NCHS since it was created in 1960.
    NCHS assists in achieving the comparability needed for combining 
data from all States into national statistics, by conducting a training 
program for State and local vital statistics staff to assist in 
developing expertise in all aspects of vital registration and vital 
statistics. The training offered under this program includes courses 
for registration staff, statisticians, and coding specialists, all 
designed to bring about a high degree of uniformity and quality in the 
data provided by the States. This training program is authorized by 42 
U.S.C. 242b, section 304(a).
    NCHS notifies State and local vital registration officials, as well 
as Canadian counterparts, about upcoming training. Individual 
candidates for training then submit an application form including name, 
address, occupation, and other relevant information.
    In this revision, the application for the Vital Statistics Training 
is being updated to capture additional logistical information. The 
proposed changes include the addition of two questions (1) to identify 
the training personnel as either State or locally-based and (2) to

[[Page 21552]]

determine if the registrant has previously attended the training. And 
if so, when? Likewise, the information listed for the NCHS contact 
person has been updated.
    NCHS is requesting a three-year OMB clearance to collect the 
necessary information using these training application forms. The total 
estimated annualized burden hours are 30. There is no cost to 
respondents other than their time.
