The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have submitted a request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for approval of a new information collection project called the National Survey of Community-Based Survey of Supports for Healthy Eating and Active Living (CBS HEAL). This project aims to survey city planners and managers in 4,417 communities across the U.S. to gather data on policies and environments that support healthy eating and physical activity. The information collected will aid in understanding community characteristics that promote healthful diets and activity, comparing community strategies nationally, and guiding local initiatives. Public comments are invited within 30 days of the notice publication to evaluate the necessity, burden, and costs associated with this proposed data collection.
Simple Explanation
The CDC wants to ask people who plan cities about what makes it easy for people to eat healthy and play outside in different communities, and they are hoping people share their thoughts on this plan.
