exclusive use period for data submitted
in support of a registration under FIFRA
section 3(c)(1)(F)(ii) or a new exclusive
use period for data submitted to support
a registration under FIFRA section
3(c)(1)(F)(vi). These clauses are
intended to provide incentives to
registrants to obtain registrations for
uses that might otherwise go unfulfilled
because they offer low returns because
of low demand.
The information collection activities
associated with the activities described
in this PR Notice are already approved
by the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA), 44 U.S.C. 3501 et
seq. The corresponding Information
Collection Request (ICR) document for
the Application for New and Amended
Pesticide Registration has been assigned
EPA ICR number 0277.16 and is
approved OMB control number 2070–
0060.
III. Do PR Notices contain binding
requirements?
The PR Notice about the
determination of a minor use is
intended to provide guidance to EPA
personnel and decision-makers and to
pesticide registrants. While the
requirements in the statutes and Agency
regulations are binding on EPA and the
applicants, this PR Notice is not binding
on either EPA or pesticide registrants,
and EPA may depart from the guidance
where circumstances warrant and
without prior notice. Likewise, pesticide
registrants may assert that the guidance
is not appropriate generally or not
applicable to a specific pesticide or
situation.

Proposed Project
Presidential Youth Fitness Program
Evaluation—New—National Center for
Chronic Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
It is well documented that obesity and
a lack of physical activity (PA) among
children and adolescents are current
public health problems in the United
States. Because school-aged children
spend more than half of their waking
hours in school and engage in 20%–
30% of their total PA at school, schools
are ideal settings for reaching a diverse
cross-section of children with
interventions to increase PA, including
those children experiencing health
disparities. This is particularly
important in middle school, where
research shows lower levels of physical
activity when compared with younger
students.
Evidence shows that multicomponent
school-based physical education (PE)
programs are effective at improving
children’s health and academic
outcomes. Along with these
improvements, school-based PE should
provide fitness assessments,
development of personal fitness plans,
and improved cognitive understanding
about the importance of PA and a
healthy lifestyle. The Presidential Youth
Fitness Program (PYFP) incorporates
each of these factors. To replace
normative-referenced fitness measures
(i.e., the President’s Challenge Youth
Fitness Test), the PYFP has adopted a
criterion-based assessment, using the
FitnessGram® fitness measurement
system, which compares each student’s
measurements to a set of standards for

19:36 Jun 13, 2016

Jkt 238001

fitness and health. Each student can
determine where he or she falls in
relation to the standard and establish a
goal for reaching or exceeding it. The
PYFP also adds fitness education to PE,
provides professional development for
PE teachers, and includes a recognition
system for students who achieve
Healthy Fitness Zone standards.
In 2013, the Presidential Youth
Fitness Program began its first round of
funding to elementary, middle and high
school PE teachers who applied to the
program. A second round of funding
began in 2014 and a third in 2015. Each
participating school receives support to
implement the PYFP for three years.
The resources provided to PE teachers
include: Professional development
training, awards for student recognition
of fitness achievements, access to a
professional learning community and
access to FitnessGram® fitness
assessment software. For the schools
selected to receive PYFP support, the
requirements include: (1) Information
Technology (IT) manager and PE teacher
participation in the FitnessGram®
software training, (2) PE teacher
participation in PYFP professional
development training, (3) conducting
FitnessGram® assessments according to
the training, (4) recognizing student
achievement in fitness and physical
activity, (5) confirming continued
participation in the program at the end
of Years 1 and 2, and (6) participating
in evaluation activities. The PYFP is
designed to supplement the traditional
PE course and support physical
education (PE) teachers in laying the
foundation for students to lead an active
life.
CDC plans to conduct the first
rigorous evaluation of the PYFP. The
evaluation will assess the impact of the
program on student, PE teacher and
school level outcomes (outcome
evaluation) as well as barriers and
facilitators to program implementation
(process evaluation). Evaluation
activities will take place in 11 schools
implementing the PYFP and 11 match
comparison schools, contributing a total
of 82 sixth grade PE classes. Information
collection will be conducted in 6 PYFP
and 6 match comparison schools in
Spring 2017 and 5 PYFP and 5 match
comparison schools in Fall 2017. The
PYFP schools recruited to participate in
the PYFP Evaluation will be identified
from a list of schools receiving Round
2 or Round 3 PYFP funding and meeting
the following inclusion criteria: (1)
Middle school with a sixth grade, (2)
sixth grade enrollment of 150 or higher,
(3) 50% or more of students receiving
free or reduced lunch, and (4)
documented completion of PYFP

professional development training.
Comparison schools will be matched
based on criteria 1–3 above as well as
location to ensure similar PE policies
and standards. The process and
outcome evaluation will involve data
collection activities with four
respondent groups: (1) Students, (2) PE
teachers, (3) parents, and (4) school
administrators.
The specific aims of the outcome
evaluation are to examine how the PYFP
impacts student fitness and physical
activity, particularly how the program
impacts student: (1) Fitness knowledge
and health knowledge, (2) attitudes
toward physical activity, (3) motivation
to be physically active, (4) physical
activity levels, and (5) fitness. Surveys
to be conducted at all schools include
the: (1) Paper-based PYFP Student
Survey, (2) online PYFP PE Teacher
Survey, and (3) online PYFP School
Administrator Survey. There are minor
differences in the survey instruments
depending on whether the school is a
PYFP participant or a non-PYFP school.
The outcome evaluation will also
determine the changes made as a result
of the PYFP such as changes at the
school level (e.g., improved PE and
physical activity policies and practices,
increased parent awareness of school PE
and physical activity) and changes in PE
teaching practices (e.g., integration of
fitness education, increased use of
fitness assessment tools and improved
practices for fitness testing).
The outcome evaluation will include
fitness assessments with approximately
2,460 students as part of the standard PE
program (1,230 PYFP sixth grade
students and 1,230 non-PYFP sixth
grade students). Fitness assessments
will be conducted at both the beginning
and end of the semester using
FitnessGram®’s pacer and body
composition assessments. Finally, a
subset of 6 PYFP and 6 match
comparison schools will assess
students’ physical activity levels by
collecting student accelerometry data.
Accelerometry will be conducted in a
subset of 25 PYFP and 25 non-PYFP
classes to capture data from
approximately 500 students (250
students from PYFP schools and 250
students from match comparison
schools). Accelerometry data collection
will involve wearing the device for a
week at the beginning and a week at the
end of semester and noting hours of
wear time and class schedule.
Information collection for the process
evaluation will be conducted only in the
11 PYFP schools. The aims of the
process evaluation are to describe how
PYFP resources were used by teachers
and schools, the strategies used by

teachers and schools to integrate fitness
education and student recognition of
fitness achievement into the schools,
and barriers and facilitators relevant to
PYFP implementation. All PYFP
schools will complete cost and time use
worksheets. In addition, focus groups

curriculum and gather information

Evaluation is voluntary and there are no
costs to respondents other than their
time.

will be conducted in a subset of 6 PYFP
schools. Focus groups will take place on
school grounds during or outside of the
school day, depending on availability of
a given respondent group.
The information collected for the
PYFP evaluation will allow the CDC and
partners to assess the impact of the
