Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request; NIH Toolbox for
Assessment of Neurological and Behavioral Function
Summary: Under the provisions of Section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the National Institute on Aging (NIA),
the National Institutes of Health (NIH), has submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) a request to review and approve the
information collection listed below. This proposed information
collection was previously published in the Federal Register on January
11, 2011 (Vol. 76, No. 7, p. 1621) and allowed 60-days for public
comment. No comments were received.
Proposed Collection: Title: NIH Toolbox for Assessment of
Neurological and Behavioral Function. Type of Information Collection
Request: New. Need and Use of Information Collection: The overall goal
of the Toolbox project is to develop unified, integrated methods and
measures of four domains of neurological and behavioral functioning
(cognitive, emotional, motor and sensory) for use in large longitudinal
or epidemiological studies where functioning is monitored over time.
The current phase (``Norming''), will involve a large sample of 12,900
for the purpose of establishing comparative norms. The targeted
population will be non-institutionalized U.S. residents, aged 3-85
years, with 70% English-speaking and 30% Spanish-speaking. Frequency of
Response: Once or twice (depending on subsample). Affected Public:
Individuals. Type of Respondents: U.S. residents (persons aged 3-85
years). The annual reporting burden is as follows: Estimated Number of
Respondents: 12,900; Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 1-2;
Average Burden Hours per Response: 1.96; and Estimated Total Annual
Burden Hours Requested: 29,700. The annualized cost to respondents is
estimated at: $414,375. There are no Capital Costs, Operating Costs,
and/or Maintenance Costs to report.
