Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has submitted 
the following information collection request to the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with 
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The notice for the proposed 
information collection is published to obtain comments from the public 
and affected agencies.
    Written comments and suggestions from the public and affected 
agencies concerning the proposed collection of information are 
encouraged. Your comments should address any of the following: (a) 
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; (b) Evaluate the 
accuracy of the agencies estimate of the burden of the proposed 
collection of information, including the validity of the methodology 
and assumptions used; (c) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of 
the information to be collected; (d) 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 submission of responses; and 
(e) Assess information collection costs.
    To request additional information on the proposed project or to 
obtain a copy of the information collection plan and instruments, call 
(404) 639-7570 or send an email to [email protected]. Written comments and/or 
suggestions regarding the items contained in this notice should be

comments should be received within 30 days of this notice.

Proposed Project

    Older Adult Safe Mobility Assessment Tool (OMB Control No. 0920-
1005, Discontinued 10/31/2014)--Reinstatement--National Center for 
Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The CDC seeks to reinstate, with change, a previously approved 
information collection entitled ``Older Adult Safe Mobility Assessment 
Tool'' (OMB Control No. 0920-1005).
    Within the NCIPC, preventing falls and ensuring safe transportation 
for older adults are strategic priorities. The purpose of this 
information collection is to evaluate whether the Mobility Planning 
Tool is effective for promoting readiness to adopt mobility-protective 
behaviors in older adults and 2) assess

[[Page 45978]]

potential strategies for dissemination of the MPT.
    Information will be collected by surveying older adults, aged 60-74 
years, who are living in the community (non-institutionalized), and 
have good mobility. An initial survey will be administered to 1000 
adults, half (500) will be sent the MPT, and then 900 adults will be 
surveyed again.
    Effectiveness of the tool will be assessed using two different 
comparisons: (1) A comparison between individuals' attitudes and 
behaviors related to protecting their mobility as they age before and 
after receiving the MPT in the group that received the MPT, and (2) a 
comparison of both mobility-related attitudes and behaviors and changes 
between the group that received the MPT and the group that did not 
receive the MPT.
    Study findings will be used to identify areas of the MPT that may 
need revision before it is disseminated publicly.
    The previous data collection gathered older adults' impressions, 
and based on their feedback, MPT tool has now been redesigned and 
oriented toward mobility planning rather than mobility assessment. This 
reinstatement request is to conduct a randomized controlled trial on 
the revised tool to determine if the tool promotes readiness in older 
adults to adopt mobility-protective behaviors, and appropriate ways to 
disseminate the tool.
    There are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total 
estimated annual burden hours are 734.
