Proposed Data Collections Submitted for Public Comment and
Recommendations
In compliance with the requirement of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 for opportunity for public comment on
proposed data collection projects, the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) will publish periodic summaries of proposed projects.
To request more information on the proposed projects or to obtain a
copy of the data collection plans and instruments, call the CDC Reports
Clearance Officer on (404) 498-1210.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
the agency, including whether the information shall have practical
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents,

Proposed Project
The National Death Index, (0920-0215)--Extension--National Center
for Health Statistics (NCHS), Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background
The National Death Index (NDI) is a national data base containing
identifying death record information submitted annually to NCHS by all
the state vital statistics offices, beginning with deaths in 1979.
Searches against the NDI file provide the states and dates of death,
and the death certificate numbers of deceased study subjects. Since the
implementation of the NDI Plus service, researchers have the option of
also receiving cause of death information for deceased subjects, thus
reducing the need to request copies of death certificates from the
states. The NDI Plus option currently provides the ICD codes for the
underlying and multiple causes of death for the years 1979-2002. Health
researchers must complete five administrative forms in order to apply
for NDI services, and submit records of study subjects for computer
matching against the NDI file. There is no cost to respondents except
for their time.
