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 Center for Health Statistics
(NCHS) Data Detectives Camp'' 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 April 14, 2026 to obtain comments from the public and
affected agencies. CDC received one 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
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

Proposed Project
The National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) Data Detectives
Camp--New--National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
NCHS is authorized to collect data under Section 306 of the Public
Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 242k). NCHS has a history of reaching out
to young people to encourage their interest in Science, Technology,
Engineering and Math (STEM). Examples of past involvement include
adopting local schools, speaking at local colleges, conducting a
Statistics Day for high school students, and conducting the NCHS Data
Detectives Camp for middle school students.
In prior years, these activities have been approved under a Generic
Information Collection entitled ``Youth Outreach Generic Clearance for
the National Center for Health Statistics'' (OMB No. 0920-0164, Exp.
Date 03/31/2026). This year, NCHS is requesting a New Information
Collection Request (ICR) to consolidate the activities conducted under
the Data Detectives Camp. This ICR is designed for outreach to middle
school aged children and those who support them, such as parents,
teachers, and counselors.
Information will be collected through application and registration
forms, teacher recommendation forms, and evaluation forms. OMB approval
is requested for three years. Participation is voluntary. The burden
table below represents each type of respondent for one annual cycle of
data collection (which includes a maximum of four camps). CDC requests
approval for an estimated 1,100 annualized burden hours. There is no
cost to respondents other than their time.
