This proposed information collection was previously published in the Federal Register on June 17, 2011, Pages 35452– 3 and allowed 60 days for public comment. Three (3) comments were received. The purpose of this notice is to allow an additional 30 days for public comment. The National Institutes of Health may not conduct or sponsor, and the respondent is not required to respond to, an information collection that has been extended, revised, or implemented on or after October 1, 1995, unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. Proposed Collection: Title: Healthy Communities Study: How Communities Shape Children’s Health (HCS). Type of Information Collection Request: New. Need and Use of Information Collection: The HCS will address the need for a cross-cutting national study of community programs and policies and their relationship to childhood obesity. The HCS is an observational study of communities conducted over five years that aims to (1) Determine the associations between community programs/policies and Body Mass Index (BMI), diet, and physical activity in children; and (2) identify the community, family, and child factors that modify or mediate the associations between community programs/policies and BMI, diet, and physical activity in children. A total of 279 communities and over 23,000 children and their parents will be part of the HCS over the five-year study. A HCS community is defined as a high school catchment area and the age range of children is 3–15 years upon entry into the study. The study examines quantitative and qualitative information obtained from community-based initiatives; community characteristics (e.g., school environment); measurements of children’s physical activity levels and dietary practices; and children’s and parents’ BMIs. Results from the Healthy Communities Study may influence the future development and funding of policies and programs to reduce childhood obesity. Furthermore, HCS results will be published in scientific journals and will be used for the development of future research initiatives targeting childhood obesity. Frequency of Response: Varies by participant type from once to 2.74 times. Affected Public: Families or households; businesses, other for-profit, and nonprofit. Type of Respondents: Parents, children, community key informants (who have knowledge about community programs/policies related to healthy nutrition, physical activity, and healthy weight of children), food service personnel, physical education instructors, state health department employees, and physicians or medical secretaries. The annual reporting burden is as follows: Estimated number of respondents: 247,619; Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 1.1; Average (Annual) Burden Hours per Response: 0.12; and Estimated Total Burden Hours Requested: 33,144. The annualized cost to respondents is estimated at $434,789. There are no Capital Costs to report. There are no Operating or Maintenance Costs to report.
