Proposed Project

    1. Monthly Vital Statistics Report--(0920-0213)--Extension--The 
compilation of national vital statistics dates back to the beginning of 
this 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 Monthly 
Vital Statistics Report provides estimates of monthly occurrences of 
births, deaths, infant deaths, marriages, and divorces following the 
end of each month. Similar data have been published since 1937, and are 
the sole source of these data at the national level. The data are 
widely used by the Department of Health and Human Services and by other 
government, academic, and private research organizations in tracking 
changes in trends of vital events. The data are essential to the U. S. 
Bureau of the Census as input to their various population estimates. 
They are also used each month by the Bureau of Economic Analysis, 
Department of Commerce, to extrapolate an element of the Gross National 
Product.
    Respondents for the Monthly Vital Statistics Report and the Monthly 
Report on Marriages, Divorces and Annulments are registration officials 
in each state, the District of Columbia, and New York City. Respondents 
for the Monthly Marriage and Divorce Statistical Report forms are 60 
local (county) officials in New Mexico who record marriages occurring 
and divorces and annulments granted in each county of New Mexico. There 
are no direct costs to respondents; the data are routinely available in 
each reporting office as a by-product of ongoing activities.
