SUBJECT CATEGORY:
Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review
DOCUMENT SUMMARY:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) publishes a list of information collection requests under review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request a copy of these requests, call the CDC Reports Clearance Officer at (404) 6394766 or send an email to omb@cdc.gov. Send written comments to CDC Desk Officer, Office of Management and Budget, Washington, DC or by fax to (202) 3955806. Written comments should be received within 30 days of this notice. Proposed Project
Evaluation of State Nutrition and Physical Activity Programs to
Prevent Obesity and Other Chronic Diseases [OMB
Background and Brief Description
In order to prevent and control obesity and other chronic diseases, CDC established statebased nutrition and physical activity programs to support the development and implementation of nutrition and physical activity interventions, particularly through populationbased strategies such as policylevel changes, environmental supports and the social marketing process. The overall programmatic goal is to promote populationbased behavior change, such as increased physical activity and better dietary habits, thus leading to a reduction in the prevalence of obesity, and ultimately to a reduction in the prevalence of chronic diseases. CDC funding for state nutrition and physical activity programs may be used for capacity building, collaboration, planning, monitoring the burden of obesity, intervention, and evaluation.
CDC is currently approved to collect information from funded states as described in ``Evaluation of State Nutrition and Physical Activity Programs to Prevent Obesity and Other Chronic Diseases'' (OMB no. 0920 0669, exp. date 06/30/2011). The evaluation framework for the information collection was designed to focus on recipient activities as outlined in the original funding announcement. Since that time, CDC reissued the cooperative agreement with minor adjustments to program focus and reporting requirements. In the current Revision request, CDC proposes to implement changes to the information collection which reflect those adjustments. Planned modifications include: collection of additional data items pertaining to ``success stories'' and two new behavioral target areas (consumption of sugarsweetened beverages and consumption of high energydense foods); deletion of questions that are no longer relevant; wording changes to improve clarity; and minor changes to the response categories for some questions. CDC also proposes a new, simplified title for the OMB Information Collection Request: ``Monitoring State Nutrition, Physical Activity and Obesity Programs.''
CDC anticipates an overall reduction in burden based on a reduction
in the number of respondents, reduction of the estimated burden per
response, and reduction in the frequency of information (from a semi
annual schedule to an annual schedule). OMB approval is requested for
three years. There are no costs to the respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 250.
