We request a non-substantive change to OMB control number 0920-1273 to 1) remove the current response threshold requirement so all jurisdiction data are available for release to internal and external researchers and 2) change release of PRAMS multi-jurisdiction data from previously documented proposal process to the PRAMS Automated Research File (ARF) process.

CDC will continue to use the approved Phase 8 questionnaires until April 2023, when the Phase 9 questionnaires will be implemented with changes in content that are described in an attachment to the ICR. Five states are currently implementing a web-based mode of data collection which will be made available as an option for all states in Phase 9. CDC has added a new IC to account for the burden to states of preparing and submitting an aggregate data file. There are minor changes to the estimated number of respondents for the core PRAMS survey, an expected increase in the use of supplemental modules, and updated estimates for field testing. Additional information collection needed to monitor COVID-19 vaccination and experiences was formally incorporated in 2022 and will continue. The net result is a modest decrease in total estimated annualized burden of 2,373 hours.
In addition, note that the change in the total cost burden appears to be very large. However, the change in total cost burden is associated with the change in accounting method. In the past, CDC reported the cost burden for each IC as the wage-equivalents that appear in Section 12.B of the supporting statement. Consistent with the rest of HHS, CDC is now reporting the total from Section 13 in the "burden cost" field for each IC. Section 13 covers nonwage costs (e.g., equipment). As such, costs associated with these ICs are now "zero."
