cprice-sewell on DSK2BSOYB1PROD with NOTICES
B. Certificate of Compliance: Total
filers (executive branch): 10; private
citizen filers (100%): 10; private citizen
burden hours (20 minutes/certificate): 3;
and
ii. Model Qualified Trust Documents:
A. Blind Trust Communications: Total
users (executive branch): 5; private
citizen users (100%): 5;
communications documents (private
citizens): 25 (based on an average of five
communications per user, per year);
private citizen burden hours (20
minutes/communication): 8.
B. Model Qualified Blind Trust: Total
users (executive branch): 2; private
citizen users (100%): 2; private citizen
burden hours (100 hours/model): 200.
C. Model Qualified Diversified Trust:
Total users (executive branch): 1;
private citizen users (100%): 1; private
citizen burden hours (100 hours/model):
100.
D.–H. Of the five remaining model
qualified trust documents: total users
(executive branch): 2; private citizen
users (100%): 2; private citizen burden
hours (100 hours/model): 200.
I.–J. Of the two model confidentiality
agreements: total users (executive
branch): 1; private citizen users (100%):
1; private citizen burden hours (50
hours/agreement): 50.
However, the total annual reporting
hour burden on filers themselves is zero
and not the 563 hours estimated above
because OGE’s estimating methodology
reflects the fact that all respondents hire
private trust administrators or other
private representatives to set up and
maintain the qualified blind and
diversified trusts. Respondents
themselves, typically incoming private
citizen Presidential nominees, therefore
incur no hour burden. The estimated
total annual cost burden to respondents
resulting from the collection of
information is $1,000,000. Those who
use the model documents for guidance
are private trust administrators or other
private representatives hired to set up
and maintain the qualified blind and
diversified trusts of executive branch
officials who seek to establish such
qualified trusts. The cost burden figure
is based primarily on OGE’s knowledge
of the typical trust administrator fee
structure (an average of 1 percent of
total assets) and OGE’s experience with
administration of the qualified trust
program. The $1,000,000 annual cost
figure is based on OGE’s estimate of an
average of five possible active trusts
anticipated to be under administration
for each of the next two years with
combined total assets of $100,000,000.
However, OGE notes that the $1,000,000
figure is a cost estimate for the overall
administration of the trusts, only a
portion of which relates to information
collection and reporting. For want of a
precise way to break out the costs
directly associated with information
collection, OGE is continuing to report
to OMB the full $1,000,000 estimate for
paperwork clearance purposes.
Public comment is invited on each
aspect of the model qualified trust
certificates and model trust documents,
and underlying regulatory provisions, as
set forth in this notice, including
specific views on the need for and
practical utility of this set of collections
of information, the accuracy of OGE’s
burden estimate, the potential for
enhancement of quality, utility and
clarity of the information collected, and
the minimization of burden (including
the use of information technology).
Comments received in response to
this notice will be summarized for, and
may be included with, the OGE request
for extension of the OMB paperwork
approval for the set of the various
existing qualified trust model
certificates, the model communications
package, and the model trust
documents. The comments will also
become a matter of public record.
Approved: September 4, 2009.

requests, call the CDC Reports Clearance
Officer at (404) 639–4766 or send an email to omb@cdc.gov. Send written

Proposed Project
Evaluation of State Nutrition and
Physical Activity Programs to Prevent
Obesity and Other Chronic Diseases
[OMB# 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.
