The Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC), as part of
its continuing effort to reduce public
burden and maximize the utility of
government information, invites the
general public and other Federal
agencies the opportunity to comment on
a proposed and/or continuing
information collection, as required by
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
This notice invites comment on the
existing information collection project
titled The Childcare Survey of Activity
and Wellness (C–SAW) Pilot Study. The
pilot study will determine the current
practices and policies of early care and
education (ECE) providers in four states
around nutrition, physical activity, and
wellness and will inform the
development of a potential national
surveillance system.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA)
(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal agencies
must obtain approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for each
collection of information they conduct
or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also
requires Federal agencies to provide a
60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each new
proposed collection, each proposed
extension of existing collection of
information, and each reinstatement of
previously approved information
collection before submitting the
collection to the OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are
publishing this notice of a proposed
data collection as described below.
The OMB is particularly interested in
comments that will help:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions 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 through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.
5. Assess information collection costs.
Proposed Project
The Childcare Survey of Activity and
Wellness (C–SAW) Pilot Study—
Revision—National Center for Chronic
Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) works to promote
optimal nutrition, physical activity, and
wellness in early care and education
(ECE) facilities for children 0–5 years of
age. Consistent with this mission, and
with clear evidence that ECE facilities
can impact the habits and preferences of
young children, CDC obtained OMB
approval (OMB Control No. 0920–1277,
Expiration Date 12/31/2020) to conduct
a pilot survey to better understand ECE
center practices related to nutrition,
physical activity, and wellness. CDC
was unable to collect the information as
planned due to closures of ECE centers
because of the COVID–19 pandemic.
CDC is requesting an extension of the
collection for two years due to the
COVID–19 pandemic and its impact on
information collection and to collect 10
additional COVID–19 related questions
on the survey to understand the impact
of COVID–19 on our topic areas of child
care center status, nutrition, physical
activity and wellness The additional
questions are expected to minimally
affect burden. These critical data are
used to effectively inform state and
national programs.
Data collected from this pilot survey
will be used to understand the current
practices of ECE centers in a
representative sample in four states.
This initial C–SAW will establish
baseline measures of the prevalence of
specific practices related to nutrition,
physical activity, and wellness in a
standard way across states. This
baseline will also allow CDC and state
partners to better understand ECE center
needs and provide opportunities for
collaboration and areas for improvement
at the state and national levels. Second,
the survey will be used to inform the
development of a potential national

surveillance system enabling states and
CDC to track changes over time and
obtain data to guide the planning,
implementation, and evaluation of
national and state obesity prevention
efforts.
A sample of approximately 1,200 ECE
centers across four states will be
recruited to participate in this one-time
data collection effort. Each center will
receive a recruitment letter introducing
the survey, explaining its objectives and
the importance of their participation,
and instructions for completing the
survey. It is anticipated that most
responses will be submitted online via
the internet. However, paper surveys
will be available upon request.
Approximately two weeks after the
initial recruitment letter is mailed, all
sampled centers will receive a reminder
postcard. Approximately four weeks
after the initial recruitment letter is
mailed, non-respondents will be sent
another letter along with a hardcopy of
the questionnaire.
Participation in this study is
completely voluntary and there are no
costs to the respondent other than their
time. The estimated annualized burden
hours is 409. The approval request is for
two years.
