Evaluation of "State Nutrition and Physical Activity Programs to
Prevent Obesity and Other Chronic Diseases"
May 14, 2009
Justification
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) requests OMB approval of changes to a currently approved collection entitled "Evaluation of Nutrition and Physical Activity Programs to Prevent Obesity and Other Chronic Diseases" (approved 06/12/2008; expiration date 6/30/2011). The proposed changes are a result of the CDC program reissuing its cooperative agreement with state health departments in June 2008 and the program was retitled “Nutrition, Physical Activity and Obesity Programs.” The revised cooperative agreement included minor adjustments to the program’s focus and national program requirements, which necessitate changes to the data collection instrument. We also reduced the number of questions because the system will monitor only the key actions and outcomes of the program which can be accomplished with fewer questions and only annual data collection versus the previous semiannual frequency. This information collection will support the CDC in program management, monitoring, and oversight to improve the program (share and use lessons learned) and to assess what the states have produced using the CDC funds. Changes to data collection forms are proposed and the burden estimate has decreased. With this revision, we have renamed the data collection system to be State Program Interim Reporting System (SPIRS).

The proposed changes are a result of CDC reissuing its cooperative agreement with state health departments in June 2008. At that time the program was retitled “Nutrition, Physical Activity and Obesity Programs.”
The following types of changes are proposed:
Title of the OMB clearance
From Evaluation of “State Nutrition and Physical Activity Programs to Prevent Obesity and Other Chronic Diseases”
To Monitoring State Nutrition, Physical Activity and Obesity Programs
Information collection instrument and process
Addition of data elements relating to new behavioral target areas and success stories
Deletion of selected data elements
Modification of selected data elements
Modification of the name of the information collection instrument
From Progress Monitoring Report
To State Program Interim Reporting System (SPIRS)
Reassignment of information collection responsibilities from a data collection contractor to CDC
Burden estimate
Decrease in the number of respondents
Decrease in the estimated time per response
Decrease in the frequency of data collection
The information collection will continue to support the CDC in managing, monitoring, and overseeing cooperative agreements with state-based programs.
