Proposed Project
The National Vital Statistics Report Forms--(OMB No. 0920-0213)--
Revision--National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention.
Background and Brief Description: The National Vital Statistics
Report Forms project (0920-0213) is an approved collection and
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 National 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, 33 local (county)
officials in New Mexico who
[[Page 56169]]
record marriages occurring 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 other than their time.

The Annual Marriage and Divorce Occurrence 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 National
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 Occurrence 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. The data are routinely available in each
reporting office as a by-product of ongoing activities.
