Proposed Data Collections Submitted
for Public Comment and
Recommendations
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
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) will publish periodic
summaries of proposed projects. To
request more information on the
proposed projects or to obtain a copy of
the data collection plans and
instruments, call 404–639–5960 and
send comments to Seleda Perryman,
CDC Assistant Reports Clearance
Officer, 1600 Clifton Road, MS–D74,
Atlanta, GA 30333 or send an e-mail to
omb@cdc.gov.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology. Written comments should
be received within 60 days of this
notice.
Proposed Project
Assessment and Monitoring of
Breastfeeding-Related Maternity Care
Practices in Intra-partum Care Facility
in the United States and Territories New
National Center for Chronic Disease
Prevention and Health Promotion
(NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
There is substantial evidence of the
social, economic and health benefits of
breastfeeding for both the mother and
infant and the importance of the health
care system in promoting the initiation
and maintenance of breastfeeding. Yet
breastfeeding initiation rates and
duration in the United States did not
achieve Healthy People 2000 goals, and
significant disparities continue to exist
for breastfeeding rates between African
American and white women. The
Healthy People 2010 goals are to
increase the proportion of mothers who
breastfeed in the early postpartum
period from 64% (1998 estimate) to
75%, the proportion who breastfeed
their babies through 6 months of age
from 29% to 50%, and to increase from
16% to 25% the proportion of mothers
who breastfeed to 1 year of age and to
decrease the disparities in breastfeeding
initiation, exclusivity, and duration
between African American and white
women. In addition to ethnic and racial
disparities, there is evidence of
significant variation in state
breastfeeding rates. For example, the
breastfeeding initiation rate in Louisiana
was 46.4% in 2003, while in Oregon it
was 88.8%.
One important and effective means to
promote and support the initiation and
maintenance of breastfeeding is through
the health care system. While the few
studies on breastfeeding practices at
intra-partum care facilities in individual
states and facilities show significant
variation in practices, it is not currently
possible to assess and monitor
breastfeeding-related practices and
policies in hospitals and free-standing
childbirth centers across the United
States with the data currently available.
CDC plans to conduct an assessment
of breastfeeding-related maternity care
practices in intra-partum care facilities
in the United States and Territories to
provide information to individual
facilities, state health departments, and
CDC on the extent to which facilities are
providing effective breastfeeding-related
maternity care. The assessment will
provide detailed information on general
facility characteristics related to
maternity care such as facility policies
related to breastfeeding-related
maternity care practices, practices
related to the training of health care staff
on breastfeeding instruction,
management and support, rooming-in,

infant supplementation, and discharge
from facility. CDC will provide facilityspecific information based on the
assessment to the individual facilities
and state-specific information to state
health departments. The information
from the survey can be used by facilities
to evaluate and modify breastfeedingrelated maternity care practices, and by
states and CDC to inform and target
programs and policies to improve
breastfeeding-related maternity care
practices at intra-partum care facilities.
Approximately 4,375 facilities
providing maternity care in the United
States and Territories will be mailed a
survey every other year in this study.
The survey will be administered for the
first time in 2006 and for the second
time in 2008. Survey content will be
similar in each of the administrations to
examine changes in practices and
policies over time. It is expected that
approximately 3,719 facilities will
complete the thirty minute
questionnaire in each administration.
The facilities will be identified from the
American Hospital Association’s
Annual Survey of Hospitals (AHA) and
the National Association of
Childbearing Centers (NACC). A five
minute screening telephone call will be
made prior to survey administrations to
all facilities identified as providing
maternity care in AHA and NACC to
ensure they are currently providing
maternity care, to identify possible
satellite clinics providing maternity
care, and to identify survey respondent
in each of the facilities. The respondents
will have the option of either
responding by mail or through a Webbased system. The survey will provide
detailed information about
breastfeeding-related maternity care
practices and policies at hospitals and
free-standing birthing centers. The
approximate annualized burden is 1,483
hours. The burden estimate is based on
CDC’s experience with surveys with
similar administration protocols and
lengths.
There are no costs to respondents
except their time to participate in the
survey.
