BILLING CODE 6210–01–S DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Background and Brief Description This project involves the evaluation of the HIV Testing Social Marketing Campaign (HTSMC), a CDC-sponsored social marketing campaign aimed at increasing HIV testing rates among young, single, African American women. The CDC has designed an efficacy study to evaluate the HTSMC and its messages under controlled conditions. The study entails selecting a sample of single African American females, ages 18 to 34, with less than 4 years of college education and collecting baseline data on their knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, intentions, and behaviors related to HIV testing. The study represents an ‘‘efficacy’’ methodology in that participants will be divided into treatment and control Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [60Day-06–06BL] Proposed Data Collections Submitted for Public Comment and Recommendations In compliance with the requirement of section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 for opportunity for public comment on proposed data collection projects, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) will publish periodic summaries of proposed projects. To request more information on the proposed projects or to obtain a copy of the data collection plans and instruments, call 404–639–5960 and conditions. Participants in the treatment condition, will be exposed to campaign materials including radio advertisements, a billboard, and an informational booklet that will be distributed over the Internet. Thus the study participants’ exposure will occur under controlled conditions, without the distractions and variability of potential exposure in the real world. As part of the advertisement stimuli package, the billboard advertisement will appear as part of the online log-in for each stimuli session in order to simulate the appearance of a sign. Therefore, we do not estimate any additional burden for exposure to the billboard advertisement. Key outcomes related to the HTSMC will be measured in two follow-up surveys. The first follow-up survey will occur 2 weeks after the baseline survey. The second follow-up survey will occur 6 weeks after the baseline survey. Comparisons of changes in these outcomes would then be made between participants in the treatment and control conditions. Findings from this study will be used by CDC and its partners to inform current and future program activities. We expect a total of 1,630 participants to complete the baseline survey. The 1,630 participants who complete the baseline survey will be randomly assigned to the treatment or control condition. 815 participants (the treatment condition) will be exposed to the radio ad and booklet. Of the 1,630 participants who completed the baseline survey, we expect 1,140 to complete the first follow-up survey. Of the 1,140 who complete the first follow-up survey, we expect 800 to complete the second follow-up survey, which will have fewer questions than the first follow-up survey because it will only pertain to questions about behavior change and selected behavioral intentions. There are no costs to the respondents other than their time.

ACTION: Notice. SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing that a proposed collection of information has been submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and clearance under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. DATES: Fax written comments on the collection of information by August 17, 2006. ADDRESSES: OMB is still experiencing significant delays in the regular mail, including first class and express mail, and messenger deliveries are not being accepted. To ensure that comments on the information collection are received, OMB recommends that written comments be faxed to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, OMB, Attn: FDA Desk Officer, FAX: 202–395–6974. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jonna Capezzuto, Office of Management Programs (HFA–250), Food and Drug Administration, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, MD 20857, 301–827–4659. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, FDA has submitted the following proposed collection of information to OMB for review and clearance. wwhite on PROD1PC61 with NOTICES Draft Guidance: Emergency Use Authorization of Medical Products The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act) permits the Commissioner of FDA (the Commissioner) to authorize the use of unapproved medical products or unapproved uses of approved medical products during an emergency declared under section 564 of the act (21 U.S.C. 360bbb–3). The data to support issuance of an emergency use VerDate Aug<31>2005 16:25 Jul 17, 2006 Jkt 208001 authorization (EUA) must demonstrate that, based on the totality of the scientific evidence available to the Commissioner, including data from adequate and well-controlled clinical trials (if available), it is reasonable to believe that the product may be effective in diagnosing, treating, or preventing a serious or life-threatening disease or condition (21 U.S.C. 360bbb–3(c)). Although the exact type and amount of data needed to support an EUA may vary depending on the nature of the declared emergency and the nature of the candidate product, FDA recommends that a request for consideration for an EUA include scientific evidence evaluating the product’s safety and effectiveness, including the adverse event profile for diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of the serious or life-threatening disease or condition, as well as data and other information on safety, effectiveness, risks and benefits, and (to the extent available) alternatives. Under section 564 of the act, the Commissioner may establish conditions on the approval of an EUA. Section 564(e) requires the Commissioner (to the extent practicable given the circumstances of the emergency) to establish certain conditions on an authorization that the Commissioner finds necessary or appropriate to protect the public health and permits the Commissioner to establish other conditions that he finds necessary or appropriate to protect the public health. Conditions authorized by section 564(e) of the act include, for example: Requirements for information dissemination to health care providers or authorized dispensers and product recipients; adverse event monitoring and reporting; data collection and analysis; recordkeeping and records access; restrictions on product advertising, distribution, and administration; and limitations on good manufacturing practices requirements. Some conditions, the statute specifies, are mandatory to the extent practicable for authorizations of unapproved products and discretionary for authorizations of unapproved uses of approved products. Moreover, some conditions may apply to manufacturers of an EUA product, while other conditions may apply to any person who carries out any activity for which the authorization is issued. Section 564 of the act also gives the Commissioner authority to establish other conditions on an authorization that the Commissioner finds to be necessary or appropriate to protect the public health. For purposes of estimating the burden of reporting, FDA has established six PO 00000 Frm 00037 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 categories of respondents which include: (1) Those who file a Request for Consideration for an EUA after a determination of actual or potential emergency and, in lieu of submitting the data, provide reference to a pending or approved application; (2) those who file a Request for Consideration for an EUA and the data after a determination of actual or potential emergency, without reference to a pending or approved application; (3) those who submit data to FDA on a candidate EUA product, which is subject to a pending or approved application, prior to a determination of actual or potential emergency; (4) those who submit data to FDA prior to a determination of actual or potential emergency about a candidate EUA product for which there is no pending or approved application; (5) manufacturers of an unapproved EUA product who must report to FDA regarding such activity; and (6) State and local public health officials who carry out an activity related to an unapproved EUA product (e.g., administering the product to civilians) and who must report to FDA regarding such activity. For purposes of estimating the burden of recordkeeping, FDA has calculated the anticipated burden on manufacturers of unapproved products authorized for emergency use. The agency anticipates that the Federal Government will perform some of the additional recordkeeping necessary for unapproved products (e.g., related to the administration of unapproved EUA products to military personnel). FDA also anticipates that some State and local public health officials may be required to perform additional recordkeeping (e.g., related to the administration of unapproved EUA products to civilians) and calculated a recordkeeping burden for those activities. No burden was attributed to reporting or recordkeeping for unapproved uses of approved products, because those products already are subject to approved collections of information (adverse experience reporting for biological products is approved under OMB control number 0910–0308 through May 31, 2005; adverse drug experience reporting is approved under OMB control number 0910–0230 through September 30, 2005; and investigational new drug applications (IND) regulations are approved under OMB control number 0910–0014 through January 31, 2006), and any additional burden imposed by this proposed collection would be minimal. Thus, FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as follows: E:\FR\FM\18JYN1.SGM 18JYN1

New--National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB 
Prevention (NCHHSTP), Coordinating Center for Infectious Diseases 
(CCID), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    This project involves the evaluation of the HIV Testing Social 
Marketing Campaign (HTSMC), a CDC-sponsored social marketing campaign 
aimed at increasing HIV testing rates among young, single, African 
American women. The CDC has designed an efficacy study to evaluate the 
HTSMC and its messages under controlled conditions. The study entails 
selecting a sample of single African American females, ages 18 to 34, 
with less than 4 years of college education and collecting baseline 
data on their knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, intentions, and behaviors 
related to HIV testing. The study represents an ``efficacy'' 
methodology in that participants will be divided into treatment and 
control conditions. Participants in the treatment condition, will be 
exposed to campaign materials including radio advertisements, a 
billboard, and an informational booklet that will be distributed over 
the Internet. Thus the study participants' exposure will occur under 
controlled conditions, without the distractions and variability of 
potential exposure in the real world. As part of the advertisement 
stimuli package, the billboard advertisement will appear as part of the 
online log-in for each stimuli session in order to simulate the 
appearance of a sign. Therefore, we do not estimate any additional 
burden for exposure to the billboard advertisement.
    Key outcomes related to the HTSMC will be measured in two follow-up 
surveys. The first follow-up survey will occur 2 weeks after the 
baseline survey. The second follow-up survey will occur 6 weeks after 
the baseline survey. Comparisons of changes in these outcomes would 
then be made between participants in the treatment and control 
conditions. Findings from this study will be used by CDC and its 
partners to inform current and future program activities.
    We expect a total of 1,630 participants to complete the baseline 
survey. The 1,630 participants who complete the baseline survey will be 
randomly assigned to the treatment or control condition. 815 
participants (the treatment condition) will be exposed to the radio ad 
and booklet. Of the 1,630 participants who completed the baseline 
survey, we expect 1,140 to complete the first follow-up survey. Of the 
1,140 who complete the first follow-up survey, we expect 800 to 
complete the second follow-up survey, which will have fewer questions 
than the first follow-up survey because it will only pertain to 
questions about behavior change and selected behavioral intentions.
    There are no costs to the respondents other than their time.
