CDC Seeks Input on Improving Maternal Death Data Reviews
Published Date: 1/13/2026
Notice
Summary
The CDC wants your thoughts on updating a system that helps review and understand pregnancy-related deaths to prevent them in the future. This affects Maternal Mortality Review Committees who collect and analyze important data. Comments are open until March 16, 2026, and the update aims to make data collection easier without extra costs.
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 2 costs, 1 mixed.
Total Time Burden Rises by 8,307 Hours
CDC estimates total annual respondent burden will increase from 33,482 hours to 41,789 hours—an increase of 8,307 hours—under the revised MMRIA approval. CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 41,789 annual burden hours.
MMRIA Extended Three Years
The CDC is requesting a revision to continue collecting maternal mortality data through the Maternal Mortality Review Information Application (MMRIA) for three additional years. This continuation applies to 52 jurisdictions funded through CDC-RFA-DP24-0053, which are required to compile a defined set of information into MMRIA.
Per-Case Workload: 14–15 Hours Plus 24 Minutes
MMRIA burden is estimated for 2,832 pregnancy-associated deaths annually across the 52 funded jurisdictions. For 11 jurisdictions that manually abstract all data the average is 15 hours per death, for 41 jurisdictions the average is 14 hours per death (where CDC uploads vital records), and all jurisdictions need an additional 24 minutes on average to enter committee decisions per case.
No Direct Monetary Costs to Respondents
The CDC states there is no cost to respondents other than their time to participate in MMRIA data collection; CDC is seeking OMB approval for the information collection with that assumption. The OMB control number listed is 0920-1294 (expiration 05/31/2026).
