Comment Request; Active Living by
Design Program Evaluation
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 of Environmental
Health Sciences (NIEHS), the National
Institute 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: Active
Living by Design Program Evaluation.
Type of Information Collection
Request: New.
Need and Use of Information
Collection: The purpose of this study is
to provide NIEHS with an overall
evaluation of the Active Living by
Design (ALbD) program to determine the
extent to which program strategies to
increase physical activity influence
change, as measured by increased
physical activity and reduction of Body
Mass Index (BMI), in residents of
participating communities. The two
objectives of this study are to determine:
• The degree to which the changes in
the built environment, communication
strategies and policy as a result of
ALbD’s program has impacted physical
activity and BMI in residents within the
twenty-five (25) participating
communities relative to a set of ten (10)
control communities; and
• The degree to which the ALbD
program’s communication strategies has
PO 00000
Frm 00041
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
positively impacted residents’
knowledge and perceptions of features
and conditions that impede and
facilitate physical activity within their
(participating) communities.
Two types of data collection will
occur throughout the study. A telephone
and Internet survey, which relies on
self-reports, will be conducted on a
large sample of the population. A
smaller population sample will be used
during clinical surveys, which will
collect physical activity data using
measures of physical activity such as,
accelerometers; measures of BMI and
include a face-to-face interview on
respondents’ perceptions of their
neighborhood. The findings of this
study will provide valuable information
concerning: (1) The direct impact ALbD
strategies have on increasing physical
activity and bringing about positive
changes in health associated with
exercise, such as weight loss: (2)
possible reduction of health risks and
diseases related to physical inactivity
through implementation of ALbD
strategies.
Frequency of Response: Three times
over a period of five (5) years;
specifically during study years One (1),
Three (3), and Five (5).
Affected Public: Individuals or
households.
Type of Respondents: Respondents to
telephone and internet surveys,
includes adults, children ages 12
through 17 years and parents
responding on behalf of children ages 6
through 11; Respondents to clinical
surveys, includes adults and children
ages 6–17. The clinical procedures
require respondents under 18 years of
age to be accompanied by their parent/
guardian, therefore the burden has been
doubled for these respondents. The
annual reporting burden is represented
in the following table:

Request For Comments: Written
comments and/or suggestions from the
public and affected agencies should
address one or more of the following
points: (1) Evaluate 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) evaluate 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) enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (4) minimize the burden
of the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including the use
of appropriated automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.
