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 ``2025 and 2027 National Youth Risk Behavior 
Survey (YRBS)'' 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 February 
9, 2024 to obtain comments from the public and affected agencies. CDC 
received one non-substantive comment 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. Comments and recommendations for the proposed 
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of 
this notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find this particular 
information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--
Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function. Direct

Proposed Project

    2025 and 2027 National Youth Risk Behavior Survey (OMB Control No. 
0920-0493)--Reinstatement with Change--National Center for Chronic 
Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease 
Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The purpose of this request is to obtain OMB approval for a 
Reinstatement with Change, of the data collection titled National Youth 
Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS), a school-based survey that has been 
conducted biennially since 1991. OMB approval for the 2021 YRBS and 
2023 YRBS expired November 30, 2023 (OMB Control No. 0920-0493). CDC 
seeks a three-year approval to conduct the YRBS in Spring 2025 and 
Spring 2027. Changes incorporated into this Reinstatement request 
include the addition of a validation study of fruit and vegetable 
intake, the results of which will be used to inform changes to the 2027 
YRBS questionnaire. Additional changes include an updated title for the 
information collection to accurately reflect the years in which the 
survey will be conducted and minor changes to the data collection 
instrument.
    The YRBS assesses priority health risk behaviors related to the 
major preventable causes of mortality, morbidity, and social problems 
among both youth and young adults in the United States. Data on health 
risk behaviors of adolescents are the focus of approximately 65 
national health objectives in Healthy People 2030, an initiative of the 
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The YRBS provides 
data to measure 14 Healthy People 2030 objectives. In addition, the 
YRBS can identify racial and ethnic disparities in health risk 
behaviors. No other national source of data measures as many of the 
Healthy People 2030 objectives addressing adolescent health risk 
behaviors as the YRBS. The data also will have significant implications 
for policy and program development for school health programs 
nationwide.
    In Spring 2025 and Spring 2027, the YRBS will be conducted among 
nationally representative samples of students attending public and 
private schools in grades 9-12, and in 2025, the validation study will 
be conducted among a convenience sample of schools and students. 
Information supporting the YRBS also will be collected from state-, 
district-, and school-level administrators and teachers. The table 
below reports the number of respondents annualized over the three-year 
project period. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 4,389. 
There are no costs to respondents other than their time.
