The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as part of its continuing efforts to reduce public burden and maximize the utility of government information, invites the general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on proposed and/or continuing information collections, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This notice invites comment on the information collection request for reinstatement with change of the collection previously approved under OMB control number 0920-1005--``Conduct an Older Adult Mobility Assessment Tool Impact Evaluation and Develop a Dissemination Plan''. This collection will help evaluate whether the Mobility Planning Tool is effective for promoting readiness to adopt mobility-protective behaviors in older adults.

Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on proposed and/or 
continuing information collections, as required by the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995. This notice invites comment on the information 
collection request for reinstatement with change of the collection 
previously approved under OMB control number 0920-1005--``Conduct an 
Older Adult Mobility Assessment Tool Impact Evaluation and Develop a 
Dissemination Plan''. This collection will help evaluate whether the 
Mobility Planning Tool is effective for promoting readiness to adopt 
mobility-protective behaviors in older adults.

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

[[Page 18849]]

collection to OMB for approval. To comply with this requirement, we are 
publishing this notice of a proposed data collection as described 
below.
    Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the agency, including whether the information shall have practical 
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; (d) ways to 
minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, 
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other 
forms of information technology; and (e) estimates of capital or start-
up costs and costs of operation, maintenance, and purchase of services 
to provide information. Burden means the total time, effort, or 
financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, 
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This 
includes the time needed to review instructions; to develop, acquire, 
install and utilize technology and systems for the purpose of 
collecting, validating and verifying information, processing and 
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; to 
train personnel and to be able to respond to a collection of 
information, to search data sources, to complete and review the 
collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise disclose the 
information.

Proposed Project

    Conduct an Older Adult Mobility Assessment Tool Impact Evaluation 
and Develop a Dissemination Plan (OMB Control No. 0920-1005)--
Reinstatement with Change--National Center for Injury Prevention and 
Control (NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    CDC's National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC) 
requests approval for 3 years, from the Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) for a reinstatement with change for the previously approved OMB 
No. 0920-1005 (Exp. Date: 12-31-2014) designed to evaluate whether the 
Mobility Planning Tool is effective for promoting readiness to adopt 
mobility-protective behaviors in older adults and assess potential 
strategies for dissemination of the Mobility Planning Tool. With this 
reinstatement, NCIPC requests a change of title from ``Older Adult Safe 
Mobility Assessment Tool'' to ``Conduct an Older Adult Mobility 
Assessment Tool Impact Evaluation and Develop a Dissemination Plan.''
    The population of older adults in the U.S. is growing rapidly. By 
2030, this segment of the population will increase to an estimated 72 
million (20% of the U.S. population). A critical public health issue 
for the older adult population is mobility--how well people are able to 
get to places they need to go. The goals of this study are to evaluate 
(1) whether the Mobility Planning Tool (MPT) is effective for promoting 
readiness to adopt mobility-protective behaviors in older adults and 
(2) assess potential strategies for dissemination of the MPT.
    NCIPC will collect study data using telephone interviews. The study 
population is community-living older adults ages 60-74 with no known 
mobility limitations. A total of 1,000 individuals will participate in 
the study. Prospective respondents will answer a series of screening 
questions. Individuals who meet the screening criteria and are willing 
to participate will complete a baseline and follow-up interview each 
lasting approximately 10 minutes.
    NCIPC will analyzed the collected data using descriptive statistics 
and a series of t-tests, chi-square analyses, and Mann-Whitney U-tests. 
Multivariate analyses will include a series of repeated measures 
Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), and logistic regressions.
    The data collected from this study will help CDC identify what 
further revisions to the MPT might be necessary before it is 
disseminated publicly. Selected study findings may eventually be 
presented in oral and poster presentations and published in a peer-
reviewed journal. Without this information collection, CDC will not 
know whether the MPT is an effective tool for promoting readiness to 
adopt mobility-protective behaviors in older adults and will not know 
whether additional revisions to the tool are necessary before the MPT 
is disseminated publicly. Without this study, CDC will have limited 
information about what strategies are most likely to be effective for 
disseminating the MPT publicly to the target audience.
    The total estimated annual burden hours are 734.
