communities. Information will be
collected about the following topics:
community-wide planning efforts for
healthy eating and active living, the
built environment and policies that
support physical activity, and policies
and practices that support access to
healthy food and healthy eating. Data
will be collected using a secure, webbased survey data collection system,
with telephone and mail follow-up for
non-response.
The proposed survey content and data
collection procedures incorporate
lessons learned during an initial pilot
study (OMB No. 0920–0934, ‘‘Pilot
Study of Community-Based
Surveillance and Supports for Healthy
Eating/Active Living’’, expiration 5–31–
2013).
Assessment of policy and
environmental supports for healthful
eating and physical activity will serve
multiple uses. First, the collected data
will describe the characteristics of
communities that have specific policy
and practice supports favorable for
healthy diets and regular physical
activity. Second, the collected data will
help identify the extent to which
communities implement strategies
consistent with current national
recommendations. Third, local agencies
may use the data collected to consider
how they compare nationally or with
other municipalities of a similar
geography, population size, or
urbanicity. Fourth, this information can
help guide communities in their local
decision-making efforts on feasible
policy and environmental interventions
or solutions for healthy behaviors or
choices. Finally, information collected
through this survey may serve as a
baseline to track community-level
policies and practices across time.
Participation is voluntary and there
are no costs to respondents other than
their time.

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 404–639–7570 or send
comments to Ron Otten, 1600 Clifton
Road, MS D–74, Atlanta, GA 30333 or
send an email to [email protected].
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

According to the Dietary Guidelines
for Americans and Physical Activity
Guidelines for Americans, both
published by the federal government,
the consumption of a healthful diet and
regular physical activity are important
behaviors for the prevention of obesity
and other chronic diseases.
Behavior change is made at the level
of the individual. However, models
such as the socioecological model
suggest that health and behavior are
determined by many factors or ‘‘levels
of influence’’ that extend beyond the
individual. There is growing consensus
among experts that one of these factors
is the environment that surrounds the
individual. Characteristics of the
environment can support or discourage
the choices individuals make. Within
communities, the establishment of
policies by local governments is an
initial step to changing the
environments that support healthier
behaviors for diets and physical activity.
Currently, little is known about the
environmental and policy supports for
healthful diets and regular physical
activity within a community and how
these supports are changing across time.
As a result, CDC plans to conduct a
survey to address this gap in knowledge.
The survey will be administered to a
nationally representative sample of
4,484 communities. Respondents will be

Proposed Project
Salt Sources Study—New—National
Center for Chronic Disease Prevention
and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Stroke and heart disease are directly
related to high blood pressure, a
condition that affects about 67 million
Americans (31 percent of U.S. adults).
Sodium intake directly and
progressively increases blood pressure
and subsequently increases the risk of
heart disease and stroke. It has been

estimated that an average reduction of
as little as 400 mg of sodium daily, or
about 11% of average U.S. sodium
intake, would prevent more than 28,000
deaths and save 7 billion health care
dollars annually. The U.S. Department
of Health and Human Services (HHS)
has designated reduction in sodium
intake as one of CDC’s Winnable Battles,
as a component of the Million HeartsTM
initiative, and as a Healthy People 2020
objective.
There is a critical need for current,
accurate information about the sources
of sodium intake among diverse groups
of adults living in the United States.
CDC plans to conduct a new Salt
Sources Study to obtain information
about the amount of sodium consumed
from various sources (including sodium
from processed and restaurant foods,
sodium inherent in foods, and salt
added at the table and during cooking)
and to examine variability across
population subgroups. Data collection
will include an observational
component as well as a sub-study
designed to refine the accuracy of
estimates of total sodium intake and
discretionary sodium intake.
Information will be collected in three
distinct geographic regions: (1)
Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota, (2)
Birmingham, Alabama, and (3) Palo
Alto, California. Over a two-year period,
a study center in each location will
recruit 150 participants (total N=450)
with the aim of selecting an equal
number of adults ages 18–74 years by
approximately 10-year age groups in
each sex-race group, including whites,
blacks, Hispanics, and Asians. A substudy will be conducted among a
subgroup of 150 of these participants
(50 per site). One study center will serve
as a study coordinating center and will
transmit de-identified information to
CDC through a secure Web site. CDC is
authorized to conduct this information
collection under section 301 of the

Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C.
241).
For the observational study
component, CDC estimates that each
study site will enroll 75 participants per
year. After completing a screening
process, each participant will complete
a personal questionnaire, a tap water
questionnaire, four 24-hour dietary
recalls, and four qualitative food
records. In addition, height and weight
information on each participant will be
collected, and each participant will
collect duplicate portions of their
cooking/table salt. Fifteen participants
at each site will also provide water
samples that will be analyzed to
produce estimates of the amount of
sodium in private sources of tap water.
The Salt Sources Study will include
a sub-study to help determine the
accuracy of estimates of total sodium
intake and discretionary salt intake.
CDC will ask about 25 participants at
each site to use a Study Salt for 11 days
instead of their own household salt,
provide additional information based on
four 24-hour urine collections, four
follow-up urine collection
questionnaires, and three follow-up
questionnaires on Study Salt use. The
Study Salt contains a very small amount
of lithium, a metal found in trace
amounts in all plants and animals.
Results from the Salt Sources Study
will be used to inform public health
strategies to reduce sodium intake,
determine if substantial variability in
sources of sodium intake exists by
socio-demographic subgroups, and
better inform estimates of salt added at
the table used in Healthy People 2020
objectives related to sodium reduction.
OMB approval is requested for two
years. Participation in the Salt Sources
Study is voluntary and there are no
costs to participants other than their
time. The total estimated annualized
burden hours are 1,372.
