SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: SuperTracker Information Collection for Registration, Login and Food Intake and Physical Activity Assessment. OMB Number: 0584-0535. Expiration Date: September 30, 2015. Type of Request: Extension, without change, of a currently approved collection. 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.
