Proposed Project: National Vital Statistics Report Forms (OMB No.
0920-0213)--Extension--National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS),
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background
The National Vital Statistics Report Forms (0920-0213) is an
approved collection of the compilation of national vital statistics.
This collection dates back to the beginning of the 20th century and has
been conducted since 1960 by the Division of Vital Statistics of the
National Center for Health Statistics, CDC. The collection of the data
is authorized by 42 U.S.C. 242k. The National Vital Statistics Report
forms provide counts of monthly occurrences of births, deaths, infant
deaths, marriages, and divorces. Similar data have been published since
1937 and are the sole source of these data at the national level. The
data are used by the Department of Health and Human Services and by
other government, academic, and private research and commercial
organizations in tracking changes in trends of vital events.
Respondents for the Monthly Vital Statistics Report Form (CDC
64.146) are registration officials in each State and Territory, the
District of Columbia, and New York City. In addition, 60 local (county)
officials in New Mexico who record marriages occurring and divorces and
annulments granted in each county of New Mexico will use this Form. The
data are routinely available in each reporting office as a by-product
of ongoing activities. This form is designed to collect counts of
monthly occurrences of births, deaths, infant deaths, marriages, and
divorces immediately following the month of occurrence. There are no
costs to respondents.

The Annual Marriage and Divorce Statistical Report Form (CDC
64.147) collects final annual counts of marriages and divorces by month
for the United States and for each State. The statistical counts
requested on this form differ from provisional estimates obtained on
the Monthly Vital Statistics Report Form in that they represent
complete and final counts of marriages, divorces, and annulments
occurring during the months of the prior year. These final counts are
usually available from State or county officials about eight months
after the end of the data year. The data are widely used by government,
academic, private research, and commercial organizations in tracking
changes in trends of family formation and dissolution.
Respondents for the Annual Marriage and Divorce Statistical Report
Form are registration officials in each State, the District of
Columbia, New York City, Guam, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, Northern
Marianas, and American Samoa. In addition, counts of marriages will be
collected from individual counties in New Mexico, and counts of
divorces will be collected from individual counties in California,
Colorado, Indiana, Louisiana, New Mexico, and the boroughs of New York
City due to a lack of centralized complete collections in these
registration areas. The data are routinely available in each reporting
office as a by-product of ongoing activities. The total estimated
annualized burden for this data collection is 410 hours.
