of its continuing effort to reduce public burden and maximize the 
utility of Government information, invites the general public and other 
Federal agencies the opportunity to comment on a proposed and/or 
continuing information collection, as required by the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995. This notice invites comment on a proposed 
information collection project titled Feeding My Baby and Me: Infant 
Feeding Practices Study III (FMB&M-IFPS III). This study is designed to 
understand the current state of mothers' intentions, behaviors, feeding 
decisions, and practices from pregnancy through their child's first two 
years of life.

DATES: CDC must receive written comments on or before August 8, 2023.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. CDC-2023-
0045 by either of the following methods:
     Federal eRulemaking Portal: www.regulations.gov. Follow 
the instructions for submitting comments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 
(PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), Federal agencies must obtain approval from 
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of 
information they conduct or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also requires 
Federal agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal Register 
concerning each proposed collection of information, including each new 
proposed collection, each proposed extension of existing collection of 
information, and each reinstatement of previously approved information 
collection before submitting the collection to the OMB for approval. To 
comply with this requirement, we are publishing this notice of a 
proposed data collection as described below.
    The OMB is particularly interested in comments that will help:
    1. 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;
    2. Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of 
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used;
    3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to 
be collected;
    4. 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 
submissions of responses; and
    5. Assess information collection costs.

Proposed Project

    Feeding My Baby and Me: Infant Feeding Practices Study III (FMB&M-
IFPS III) (OMB Control No. 0920-1333, Exp. 4/30/2024)--Extension--
National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotions 
(NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    Infant Feeding Practices Study (IFPS) III is a longitudinal study 
that will follow pregnant women and their new baby for two years. Data 
will be collected using web-based surveys at multiple time points over 
two years. This includes: (1) a prenatal survey; (2) 14 follow-up 
surveys after the baby is born; and (3) 2-4 maternal dietary data 
recalls. The data from IFPS III will be used to: (1) fill research gaps 
on how feeding behaviors, patterns, and practice changes over the first 
two years of life and the health-related impacts; (2) inform multiple 
Federal agency efforts targeting maternal and infant and toddler 
nutrition through work in hospitals, with health care providers, with 
early care and education providers, and outreach to families and 
caregivers; and (3) provide context to policy level documents such as 
the U.S. Dietary Guidelines for Americans, which will include pregnant 
women and children birth to 24 months of age for the first time in 
2020-2025.
    This is an Extension of previously approved data collection 
efforts. No changes are proposed. OMB approval is requested for one 
year. Participation is voluntary, and there are no costs to respondents 
other than their time. The total estimated annualized burden hours 
requested are 5,051.
