    Abstract: SuperTracker is an Internet based diet and physical 
activity self-

[[Page 17715]]

assessment tool, which allows users to monitor their daily food intakes 
and physical activity information. Based on the Dietary Guidelines for 
Americans, the SuperTracker delivers nutrition education by allowing 
users to monitor their intake and explore ways to improve their food 
and physical activity choices. Motivational education messages are 
generated and tailored to the user's personal assessment results.
    Individuals can use the SuperTracker without registration. However, 
all users may voluntarily enter and save information by registering 
with a username and password. The historical and trend data entered 
allows users to identify areas for improvement and reference short- and 
long-term changes to diet and physical activity behaviors. SuperTracker 
includes optional functions that consumers may use at their discretion, 
including a journaling feature to capture information for a selected 
category. Consumers may also post system-generated congratulatory and 
tip messages to Facebook or Twitter using their personal social media 
account. Through leveraging the user's existing social network, the 
user is more likely to experience positive feedback and encouragement 
in achieving their dietary and/or physical activity goals. Social media 
functionality is provided as a consumer benefit but does not impact 
consumer results or reports. Access to the SuperTracker is obtained at 
SuperTracker.usda.gov.
    Affected Public: Individual/Households.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: The following total annual burden 
estimates are based on the data obtained from current web trend tool, 
Google Analytics from January 2014-December 2014.
     The number of annual visitors to the Web site is expected 
to be about 11.2 million, and they will spend approximately 5 minutes 
one time only.
     Approximately 30 percent of annual visitors will complete 
a one-time registration, log-in and assessment for the revised online 
assessment tool. This information is based on data from Google 
Analytics (rounded up = 3.3 million).
     The average number of weekly visitors is approximately 
200,000.
     30 percent of the weekly visitors return each week to 
complete tracking activities (approximately 60,000).
    Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 4.5.
    Estimated Total Annual Responses: 11,200,000.
    Estimated Time per Response: 0.236448065.
    For the SuperTracker, it will take individuals approximately 1 
minute (.0167) to initially register for a system logon ID and 
password. It typically takes users 30 seconds (.0083) to routinely 
login to the system and approximately 15 minutes (.25) to complete food 
and physical activity data entry log for 1 day. Repeat users will enter 
data on average 3 times per week. The amount of time spent completing 
entry and using functionality is estimated at 45 minutes per week.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 3,787,898 hours.
