Proposed Project
National Vital Statistics Report Forms (0920-0213)--Reinstatement
with change--National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The compilation of national vital statistics 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. This submission requests approval to collect the monthly and
annually summary statistics for three years.
The Monthly 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 are registration officials in each State and Territory, the
District of Columbia, and New York City. In addition, 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.
This form is designed to collect counts of monthly occurrences of
births, deaths, infant deaths, marriages, and divorces immediately
following the month of occurrence.
The Annual Vital Statistics Occurrence Report Form 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 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 Vital Statistics
Occurrence Report Form are registration officials in each State and
Territory, the District of Columbia, and New York City.
There is no cost to respondents other than their time. The total
estimated annualized burden hours are 211.
