Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review

    In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers 
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has submitted the information 
collection request titled ``The National Intimate Partner and Sexual 
Violence Survey (NISVS)'' to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
for review and approval. CDC previously published a ``Proposed Data 
Collection Submitted for Public Comment and Recommendations'' notice on 
October 9, 2019 to obtain comments from the public and affected 
agencies. CDC received two anonymous non-substantive comments related 
to the previous notice. This notice serves to allow an additional 30 
days for public and affected agency comments.
    CDC will accept all comments for this proposed information 
collection project. The Office of Management and Budget is particularly 
interested in comments that:
    (a) Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, 
including whether the information will have practical utility;
    (b) Evaluate the accuracy of the agencies estimate of the burden of 
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used;
    (c) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to 
be collected;
    (d) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those 
who are to respond, including, through the use of appropriate 
automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection 
techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting 
electronic submission of responses; and
    (e) Assess information collection costs.
    To request additional information on the proposed project or to 
obtain a copy of the information collection plan and instruments, call 
(404) 639-7570 or send an email to [email protected]. Direct written comments 
and/or suggestions regarding the items contained in this notice to the 
Attention: CDC Desk Officer, Office of Management and Budget, 725 17th 
Street NW, Washington, DC 20503 or by fax to (202) 395-5806. Provide 
written comments within 30 days of notice publication.

Proposed Project

    The National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey (NISVS) 
(OMB Control No. 0920-0822, Exp. 02/29/2020)--Revision--National Center 
for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control 
and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    This is a revision request for the currently approved National 
Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey (NISVS, OMB# 0920-0822). In 
2010, the National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Surveillance 
System (NISVS) reported that approximately 6.9 million women and 5.6 
million men experienced rape, physical violence and/or stalking by an 
intimate partner within the last year. The health care costs of IPV 
exceed $5.8 billion each year, nearly $3.9 billion of which is for 
direct medical and mental health care services. In order to address 
this important public health problem, CDC implemented, beginning in 
2010, the National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Surveillance 
System that produces national and state level estimates of Intimate 
Partner Violence (IPV), Sexual Violence (SV) and stalking on an annual 
basis.
    This revision request describes the planned testing of a redesign 
of the National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey (NISVS) and 
the approach for collecting NISVS data using multiple data collection 
modes and sampling strategies. More specifically, this revision request 
is to; (1) Conduct feasibility testing to assess several alternative 
design features, including the sample frame (address-based sample 
[ABS], random digit dial [RDD], web panel), mode of response 
(telephone, web, paper), and incentive structures that help garner 
participation and help reduce nonresponse. (2) Conduct experiments that 
inform the development of a protocol for alternative sampling and 
weighting methods for multi-modal data collection that will result in 
the ability to calculate accurate and reliable national and state-level 
estimates of SV, IPV, and stalking, and (3) Conduct a pilot data 
collection to ensure that the selected optimal alternative sampling 
methods and multi-modal data collection approaches for NISVS are ready 
for full-scale implementation.
    These data will be used only to inform future NISVS data 
collections. Results from the feasibility phase experiments may be 
prepared for publication, as the findings related to optimal data 
collection modes, sampling frames, and incentive structures are likely 
to be useful to other federal agencies currently conducting national 
data collections. No national prevalence estimates will be generated 
from the data collected during the NISVS redesign project. The 
feasibility study involves testing of the CATI, paper, and web versions 
of the NISVS survey using a variety of sampling frames and single vs. 
multiple modes, all for the purpose of determining a new design for 
NISVS, and the pilot test of the new design. Data are analyzed using 
appropriate statistical software to account for the complexity of the 
survey design to compute weighted counts, percentages, and confidence 
intervals using national-level data.
    OMB approval is requested for three years. The total estimated 
annualized burden hours are 1,189. There is no cost to respondents 
other than their time.
