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 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

[[Page 48803]]

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

    National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) (OMB No. 0920-0214, expires 
12/31/2017)--Revision--National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), 
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    Section 306 of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C.), as 
amended, authorizes that the Secretary of Health and Human Services 
(DHHS), acting through NCHS, shall collect statistics on the extent and 
nature of illness and disability of the population of the United 
States.
    The annual National Health Interview Survey is a major source of 
general statistics on the health of the U.S. population and has been in 
the field continuously since 1957. Clearance is sought for three years, 
to collect data for 2017-2019.
    This voluntary and confidential household-based survey collects 
demographic and health-related information from a nationally-
representative sample of noninstitutionalized, civilian persons and 
households throughout the country. Personal identification information 
is requested from survey respondents to facilitate linkage of survey 
data with health-related administrative and other records. In 2017 the 
NHIS will collect information from approximately 45,000 households, 
which contain about 100,000 individuals. Information is collected using 
computer assisted personal interviews (CAPI).
    A core set of data is collected each year that remains largely 
unchanged, whereas sponsored supplements vary from year to year. The 
core set includes socio-demographic characteristics, health status, 
health care services, and health behaviors. For 2017, supplemental 
questions will be cycled in pertaining to alternative and integrative 
medicine, cognitive disability, and receipt of culturally and 
linguistically appropriate health care services, epilepsy, and heart 
disease and stroke. Supplemental topics that continue or are enhanced 
from 2016 pertain to the Affordable Care Act, chronic pain, Crohn's 
disease and colitis, diabetes, disability and functioning, family food 
security, ABCS of heart disease and stroke prevention, immunizations, 
smokeless tobacco and e-cigarettes, vision, and children's mental 
health. Questions from 2016 on balance and Hepatitis B and C screening 
have been removed. In addition to these core and supplemental modules, 
a subsample of NHIS respondents and/or members of commercial survey 
panels may be identified to participate in short, web-based 
methodological and cognitive testing activities that will inform the 
upcoming 2018 NHIS questionnaire redesign. The aims of these standalone 
assessments include pilot testing new and/or updated questionnaire 
items, evaluating the impact of different categorical response option 
formats on answer choices, and measuring respondent comprehension of 
health care-related terms and concepts.
    In accordance with the 1995 initiative to increase the integration 
of surveys within the DHHS, respondents to the NHIS serve as the 
sampling frame for the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey conducted by 
the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. The NHIS has long been 
used by government, academic, and private researchers to evaluate both 
general health and specific issues, such as smoking, diabetes, health 
care coverage, and access to health care. It is a leading source of 
data for the Congressionally-mandated ``Health US'' and related 
publications, as well as the single most important source of statistics 
to track progress toward the National Health Promotion and Disease 
Prevention Objectives, ``Healthy People 2020.''
    There is no cost to the respondents other than their time. The 
estimated annualized burden hours for this data collection are 502 
hours.
