Proposed Project

1. Survey to Evaluate the 1989 Revisions of the U.S. Standard

Certificates of Live Birth and Death and the U.S. Standard Report of

Fetal Death--New--OMB approved the information collections for the

evaluation of the 1978 revisions of the U.S. standard certificates and

reports under OMB No. 0937-0114. The standard certificates are used by

state vital statistics offices as models in developing their own birth,

death, and fetal death reporting forms. Data obtained from these

reporting forms in each individual state are used to compile national

vital statistics. The standard certificates are the principle means of

achieving uniformity of information upon which national vital

statistics are based. To ensure that the standard certificates meet the

various needs for which they are designed, it is essential that they be

evaluated and revised periodically. This information collection will be

used to evaluate the items on the 1989 revisions of the standard

certificates and to determine if there is other information that should

be included on the standards that is needed for relevant public health

research. Respondents will include individuals and organizations who

are involved in the completion of vital records or who utilize vital

statistics data and have an interest in the content of the standard

certificates. The information collected will be used by a group of

consultants to determine what changes may be needed in the 1989

standard certificates. The annual total burden hours are 3,000.
