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 National Survey of Community-Based Survey of 
Supports for Healthy Eating and Active Living (CBS HEAL) 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 July 20, 2020 to obtain comments from the 
public and affected agencies. CDC received three comments 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/do/PRAMain. Find this particular 
information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--
Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function. Direct 
written comments and/or suggestions regarding the items contained in 
this notice to the Attention: CDC Desk Officer, Office of Management 
and Budget, 725 17th Street NW, Washington, DC 20503 or by fax to (202) 
395-5806. Provide written comments within 30 days of notice 
publication.

Proposed Project

    National Survey of Community-Based Survey of Supports for Healthy 
Eating and Active Living (CBS HEAL)--New--National Center for Chronic 
Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease 
Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    Currently, little is known about the environmental and policy 
supports for healthful diets and regular physical activity within a 
community across the U.S. and how these supports are changing across 
time. As a result, CDC plans to conduct a survey to address this gap in 
knowledge. The survey will be administered to a nationally 
representative sample of 4,417 communities. Respondents will be city 
planners/managers in these communities. Information will be collected 
about the following topics: Community-wide planning efforts for healthy 
eating and active living, the built environment and policies that 
support physical activity, zoning that supports healthy eating and 
active living, public transportation policies that support healthy 
eating and active living, other policies and practices that support 
access to healthy food and healthy eating and policies that support 
employee breastfeeding. Data will be collected using a secure, web-
based survey data collection system, with telephone and mail follow-up 
for non-response.
    The proposed survey content and data collection procedures 
incorporate lessons learned during an initial pilot study (OMB Control 
No. 0920-0934, ``Pilot Study of Community-Based Surveillance and 
Supports for Healthy Eating/Active Living'', Expiration 5/31/2013) as 
well as the 2014 baseline study (OMB Control Number 0920-1007, 
``National Survey of Community Based Policy and Environmental Supports 
for Healthy Eating and Active Living'', Expiration 1/1/2015).
    Assessment of policy and environmental supports for healthful 
eating and physical activity will serve multiple uses. First, the 
collected data will describe the characteristics of communities that 
have specific policy and practice supports favorable for healthy diets 
and regular physical activity and progress since 2014. Second, the 
collected data will help identify the extent to which communities 
implement strategies consistent with current national recommendations. 
Third, local agencies may use the data collected to consider how they 
compare nationally or with other municipalities of a similar geography, 
population size, or urban status. Finally, this information can help 
guide communities and researchers in local efforts to implement and 
evaluate policies and practices that support healthy behaviors and 
choices.
    OMB approval is requested for two years. Participation is voluntary 
and there are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total 
estimated annualized burden hours is 1693.
