This package is
only being extended to complete the current cycle of data
collection. NCHS is in the process of converting this ICR from a
generic to a regular package. Since this change will require
obtaining a new OMB number and discontinuing the existing number,
all future submissions must reference 0920-0214 to facilitate
tracking changes to the study (and burden) over time.

The National Health and Nutrition
Examination Survey (NHANES) is a continuous nationally
representative sample of the civilian, non-institutionalized U.S.
population. The survey is unique in that it contains interview,
laboratory and physical examination segments. The examination
component is conducted in mobile examination centers that travel to
fifteen survey locations each year. NHANES data have been the
cornerstone for numerous national health and nutrition policy and
surveillance activities. This request seeks approval for the
2011-2012 survey, which has an Asian oversample added to the survey
design.

The request is for an extension
to the currently approved data collection. The number of
respondents and burden hours have been decreased due to the
programs request to only collect one-quarter of the year's data. As
per previous discussion with OMB a separate/new request will be
submitted to support data collection beyond 2012-2013.

the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
