Proposed Collection; Comment 

Request; NIH Toolbox for Assessment 

of Neurological and Behavioral 

Function 

SUMMARY: In compliance with the 

requirement of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 

the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 

for opportunity for public comment on 

proposed data collection projects, the 

National Institute on Aging (NIA), the 

National Institutes of Health (NIH) will 

publish periodic summaries of proposed 

projects to be submitted to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for 

review and approval. 

Proposed Collection: Title: NIH 

Toolbox for Assessment of Neurological 

and Behavioral Function. Type of 

Information Collection Request: New. 

Need and Use of Information Collection: 

The overall goal of the NIH Toolbox 

project is to develop unified, integrated 

methods and measures of four domains 

of neurological and behavioral 

functioning (cognitive, emotional, motor 

and sensory) for use in large 

longitudinal or epidemiological studies 

where functioning is monitored over 

time. The current phase (‘‘Norming’’), 

will involve a large sample of 12,900 for 

the purpose of establishing comparative 

norms. Existing recruitment databases 

will be randomly sampled and screened 

for household members’ age, gender, 

race/ethnicity, education and primary 

language. The targeted population will 

be non-institutionalized U.S. residents, 

aged 3–85, with 70% English-speaking 

and 30% Spanish-speaking. Frequency 

of Response: Once or twice (depending 

on subsample). Affected Public: 

Individuals. Type of Respondents: U.S. 

residents (persons aged 3–85 years). The 

annual reporting burden is as follows: 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

12,900; Estimated Number of Responses 

per Respondent: 1–2; Average Burden 

Hours per Response: 1.96; and 

Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours 

Requested: 29,700. The annualized cost 

to respondents is estimated at: $414,375. 

There are no Capital Costs, Operating 

Costs, and/or Maintenance Costs to 

report.

Request for Comments: Written 

comments and/or suggestions from the 

public and affected agencies are invited 

on one or more of the following points: 

(1) Whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the function of the 

agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(2) The accuracy of the agency’s 

estimate of the burden of the proposed 

collection of information, including the 

validity of the methodology and 

assumptions used; (3) Ways to enhance 

the quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and 

(4) Ways to minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including the use of 

appropriate automated, electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology.
