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

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
Update seat belt fit recommendation for children--New--National
Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is seeking OMB
approval to conduct a new information collection for a study entitled,
``Update Seat Belt Fit Recommendation for Children,'' over a period of
three years.
CDC seeks to measure how seat belts fit children in vehicles with
and without booster seats. The scientific basis for the current height
recommendation for when children can transition from using a booster
seat to just a seat belt is from a 1993 study that is outdated (Durbin
et al., 2011; Reed et al., 2013). The goal of the new collection is to
use the latest technology among the largest sample of children to date
to help inform when children can safely transition from using a booster
seat with a seat belt to using only a seat belt.
Findings from this data collection will inform CDC's child
passenger safety recommendation regarding when children can safely
transition from using a booster seat with the seat belt to using only
the seat belt. This study will also provide information on ways to
further reduce motor vehicle-related injuries and deaths among
children.
Prospective study participants will be children aged 6-12 years old
in the greater District of Columbia (DC) area. Parents of prospective
study participants will answer a series of screening questions to
determine eligibility. Children who meet the screening criteria and are
willing to participate will complete an in-person measurement session.
Data will be analyzed using descriptive statistics, mean, standard
deviation, and logistic regression. Selected findings will eventually
be published in a peer-reviewed journal.
The estimated annual burden hours are 466. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time.
