Proposed Project

    Evaluation of State Nutrition and Physical Activity Programs to 
Prevent Obesity and Other Chronic Diseases [OMB<greek-i> 0920-0669 exp. 
6/30/2011]--Revision--National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention 
and Health Promotion (NCCDHP), Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    In order to prevent and control obesity and other chronic diseases, 
CDC established state-based nutrition and physical activity programs to 
support the development and implementation of nutrition and physical 
activity interventions, particularly through population-based 
strategies such as policy-level changes, environmental supports and the 
social marketing process. The overall programmatic goal is to promote 
population-based 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 sugar-sweetened beverages and 
consumption of high energy-dense 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.
