Abstract: The Annual Vital Statistics Occurrence Report is used by State and/or county vital registration offices to report to the Federal government annual counts of marriages and divorces/annulments in support of the National Vital Statistics System. The data is routinely available in each reporting office as a by-product of ongoing activities. Final counts of marriages and divorces are requested from all 50 States, District of Columbia, New York City, American Samoa, Guam, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, as well as the counties of New Mexico for all months of a given year. NCHS has submitted a Reinstatement ICR for an additional three-year approval. There is no change to the previously approved burden hours.
