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. The

respondents are the registration officials
in the 50 States, the District of
Columbia, New York City, Puerto Rico,
Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa,
and the Commonwealth of the Northern
Mariana Islands. In addition, 33 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, which takes about 10 minutes to
complete, 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. The 58
Respondents for the Annual Vital
Statistics Occurrence Report Form,
which takes about 30 minutes to
complete, are registration officials in
each State and Territory, the District of
Columbia, and New York City.
There are no costs to respondents
other than their time to participate; the
data are routinely available in each
reporting office as a by-product of
ongoing activities. The total estimated
annualized burden hours are 211.

genetic diseases in Atlanta since 1967
through the Metropolitan Atlanta
Congenital Defects Program (MACDP).
The MACDP is a population-based
surveillance system for birth defects in
the 5 counties of Metropolitan Atlanta.
Its primary purpose is to describe the
spatial and temporal patterns of birth
defects occurrence and serves as an
early warning system for new
Teratogens.
The National Birth Defects Prevention
Study (NBDPS) formerly the Birth
Defects Risk Factor Surveillance Study
(BDRFS) began in 1997. The NBDPS is
a case-control study of major birth
defects that includes cases identified
from existing birth defect surveillance
registries in nine states, including
metropolitan Atlanta. NBDPS control
infants are randomly selected from birth
certificates or birth hospital records.
Mothers of case and control infants are
interviewed using a computer-assisted
telephone interview. The interview
takes approximately one hour to
complete. A maximum of four hundred
interviews are planned per year per
center, 300 cases and 100 controls
resulting in a maximum interview
burden of 400 hours for each of the
centers each year.

Parents are also asked to collect cheek
cells from themselves and their infant
for DNA. The collection of cheek cells
by the mother, father, and infant takes
about 10 minutes per person. Each
person rubs 1 brush inside the left cheek
and 1 brush inside the right cheek for
a total of 2 brushes per person.
Collection of the cheek cells takes
approximately 1–2 minutes, but the
estimate of burden is 10 minutes to

Proposed Information Collection
Activity; Comment Request
Proposed Projects: Data Collection for
some of the Children’s Bureau Funded
Discretionary Programs.

Title: Performance Measurement OnLine Tool (PMOTOOL).
OMB No.: New Collection.
Description: The Performance
Measurement On-Line Tool
(PMOTOOL) was designed by the
Children’s Bureau to collect data, in an
automated format, from specified
discretionary grants funded by the
Children’s Bureau. The data collected
by this instrument will be submitted by
individual discretionary grantees
funded under the following programs:
Abandoned Infants Assistance Program,
Infant Adoption Awareness Program,
Adoption Opportunities Program, Child
Abuse and Neglect Program and the
Child Welfare Training Program.

Grantees will submit this information
on a semi-annual basis in conjunction
with their semi-annual program
progress report.
The purpose of this data collection is
to assist the Children’s Bureau in using
the aggregated data to examine the
social impact or public benefit under
each funded federal program. These
measurable outcomes will serve as
evidence that the federally funded
programs are making progress toward
achieving broad, legislated program
goals.
Respondents: Selected clusters of
competitive grant programs funded by
the Children’s Bureau.
