Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review

    In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers 
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has submitted the information 
collection request titled ``School Health Profiles Test-Retest 
Reliability Study'' to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for 
review and approval. CDC previously published a ``Proposed Data 
Collection Submitted for Public Comment and Recommendations'' notice on 
March 16, 2020 to obtain comments from the public and affected 
agencies. CDC received two comments related to the previous notice. 
This notice serves to allow an additional 30 days for public and 
affected agency comments.

    CDC will accept all comments for this proposed information 
collection project. The Office of Management and Budget is particularly 
interested in comments that:
    (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

Proposed Project

    School Health Profiles Test-Retest Reliability Study--New--National 
Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), 
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The purpose of this request is to obtain OMB approval to conduct 
the School Health Profiles Test-Retest Reliability Study to establish 
the reliability of the School Health Profiles (``Profiles''). Profiles 
is a system of school-based surveys conducted by state and local 
education and health agencies among school principals and lead health 
education teachers at the secondary school level to assess school 
health policies and practices related to health education, physical 
education and physical activity, tobacco use prevention, nutrition, 
school-based health services, family and community involvement in 
school health, and school health coordination. CDC seeks a one-year 
approval to conduct the School Health Profiles Test-Retest Reliability 
Study.
    Profiles surveys are administered widely. In 2018, 48 states, 21 
large urban school districts, and two territories conducted School 
Health Profiles. Across all of these jurisdictions, questionnaires were 
completed by approximately 10,000 principals and by approximately 9,000 
lead health education teachers. States and large urban school districts 
use Profiles as a data source for performance measures for two CDC 
cooperative agreements: CDC-RFA-PS18-1807, Promoting Adolescent Health 
Through School-Based HIV Prevention (PS18-1807), and CDC-RFA-DP18-1801 
Improving Student Health and Academic Achievement Through Nutrition, 
Physical Activity and the Management of Chronic Conditions in Schools 
(DP18-1801). No other surveillance system measures school health 
policies and programs nationwide.
    Between January and June of 2021, approximately 200 principals and 
200 lead health education teachers from regular public secondary 
schools in the United States containing at least one of grades 6 
through 12 will complete both a Time 1 and Time 2 Profiles 
questionnaire. Five questions will be added at the end of both the 
principal and lead health education teacher questionnaires at the Time 
2 administration to gather data on why responses to the same questions 
may have changed or stayed the same between the two administrations.
    There are no costs to respondents except their time. The total 
estimated annualized burden hours are 686. OMB approval is requested 
for one year. Participation is voluntary.
