Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork 

Reduction Act Review 

In accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) 

has submitted the information 

collection request titled Feeding My 

Baby and Me: Infant Feeding Practices 

Study III to the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) for review and 

approval. CDC previously published a 

‘‘Proposed Data Collection Submitted 

for Public Comment and 

Recommendations’’ notice on May 15, 

2020 to obtain comments from the 

public and affected agencies. CDC 

received one comment related to the 

previous notice. This notice serves to 

allow an additional 30 days for public 

and affected agency comments. 

CDC will accept all comments for this 

proposed information collection project. 

The Office of Management and Budget 

is particularly interested in comments 

that: 

(a) Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; b) Evaluate the 

accuracy of the agencies estimate of the 

burden of the proposed collection of 

information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(c) Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; 

(d) Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including, through the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submission of 

responses; and 

(e) Assess information collection 

costs. 

To request additional information on 

the proposed project or to obtain a copy 

of the information collection plan and 

instruments, call (404) 639–7570. 

Comments and recommendations for the 

proposed information collection should 

be sent within 30 days of publication of 

this notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/

the items contained in this notice to the 

Attention: CDC Desk Officer, Office of 

Management and Budget, 725 17th

Proposed Project 

Feeding My Baby and Me: Infant 

Feeding Practices Study III—New— 

National Center for Chronic Disease 

Prevention and Health Promotion 

(NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control 

and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

A child’s first two years of life can 

have profound impacts on their later 

dietary behaviors and health outcomes. 

Early feeding behaviors (e.g., 

breastfeeding; timing of complementary 

food introduction; intake of different 

foods and beverages such as fruits, 

vegetables, sugar sweetened beverages; 

and, maternal and infant feeding styles) 

can play a role in the establishment of 

later dietary behaviors and may be 

associated with health outcomes (e.g., 

risk of infections, obesity, and weight 

gain). However, limited data is available 

to track how prenatal and maternal 

practices impact infant feeding and 

health in the early years of life. Findings 

from the Feeding My Baby and Me: 

Infant Feeding Practices Study III 

(‘‘FMB&M–IFPS III’’) will be used to fill 

research gaps on how feeding behaviors, 

patterns, and practices change over the 

first two years of life and the healthrelated impacts; inform multiple federal 

agency efforts targeting maternal and 

infant and toddler nutrition through 

work in hospitals, with health care 

providers, with early care and education 

providers, and outreach to families and 

caregivers; and provide context to 

documents such as the U.S. Dietary 

Guidelines for Americans, which will 

include pregnant women and children 

birth to 24 months of age for the first 

time in 2020–2025. 

CDC requests OMB approval for a new 

information collection designed to 

address current gaps in knowledge and 

strengthen programmatic efforts aimed 

at promoting optimal nutrition and 

health in children less than two years of 

age. FMB&M–IFPS III will be a 

longitudinal study of pregnant women 

and their new baby for two years. 

Throughout the study planning period, 

CDC engaged with subject matter 

experts from multiple federal agencies 

including the National Institutes of 

Health (NIH), the U.S. Department of 

Agriculture (USDA), and the Food and 

Drug Administration (FDA) to ensure 

that FMB&M–IFPS III applies lessons 

learned from previous studies and 

represents the priorities and needs of 

numerous stakeholders. The new study 

design is based on updated 

methodology and questions, and 

recruitment of a new cohort of study 

participants. 

CDC will collect information about 

mother’s intentions, behaviors, feeding 

decisions, and practices from pregnancy 

through their child’s first two years of 

life and how these change; child health 

outcomes; and emerging issues related 

to infant and toddler feeding practices. 

Data will be collected using web-based 

surveys at multiple time points. This 

includes (1) a prenatal survey, (2) 14 

follow-up surveys after the baby is born, 

and (3) 2–4 maternal dietary data 

recalls. CDC estimates that 7,477 

pregnant women, ages 18–49, must be 

screened in order to obtain complete 

data on 2,500 study participants. The 

goal is to recruit equal proportions of 

non-Hispanic white, non-Hispanic 

black, and Hispanic participants. 

OMB approval is requested for three 

years. Participation is voluntary, and 

there are no costs to respondents other 

than their time. The total estimated 

annualized burden hours are 5,051.
