Request for Comments: Written
comments and/or suggestions from the
public and affected agencies are invited
on one or more of the following points:
(1) Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the function of the

and clarity of the information to be
collected; and (4) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on those who are to respond, including
the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.

Proposed Project
Audience Analysis for Environmental
Health Issues—New—National Center
for Environmental Health/Agency for
Toxic Substances and Disease Registry
(NCEH/ATSDR), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The health effects associated with
climate change include injuries and
fatalities related to severe weather
events and heat waves, infectious
diseases related to changes in vector
biology, water and food contamination,
and respiratory illness due to increased
allergen production. Despite these
potentially devastating public health
consequences, few in the general public
connect climate change with health
effects. In general, the majority of
Americans associate climate change
with nonhuman impacts and
environmental problems rather than
health effects. They are more likely to be
concerned about climate change impacts
on plant and animal extinctions rather
than on human health. Thus, it is not
surprising that few in the general public
are well prepared to deal with climate
change health effects. The Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is
interested in developing communication
materials to increase the public’s
awareness and knowledge, and prepare
for the potential health effects
associated with climate change. To this
end, focus groups will be conducted
with members of a local California
community to understand motivations
and factors influencing target audience’s
decision process. There will also be an
emphasis on the health effects, framing
devices, and channels that might be
most effective for disseminating public
health messages and having them
motivate the intended audiences. With
that in hand it will be possible to
identify the most valuable information
and optimal strategies for
communicating with target audiences.
Focus groups will be conducted with
the residents of Santa Rosa, California.
During phase one, three exploratory
focus groups will be conducted to
develop messaging strategies. Results
from the exploratory focus groups will
be used in the development of
preliminary messaging strategies and
draft materials. This material will be
tested with the target audience during
the second phase of research. The
second phase will include three
materials testing focus groups to
determine which materials and
messages are most attractive and
compelling in terms of educating the
public about health effects and
promoting preparedness behaviors.
Participants will be recruited via
standard focus group recruitment
methods. Most will come from an
existing database (or list) of potential
participants maintained by the focus
group facility or recruited through local
newspapers. There is no cost to
respondents.
The total estimated annual burden
hours are 117.

existing regulations governing the
foreign quarantine activities (42 CFR 71)
authorize quarantine officers and other
personnel to inspect and undertake
necessary control measures with respect
to conveyances, persons, and shipments
of animals and etiologic agents entering
the United States from foreign ports in
order to protect the public’s health.
Under the foreign quarantine
regulations, the master of a ship or
captain of an airplane entering the
United States from a foreign port is
required by public health law to report
certain illnesses among passengers (42
CFR 71.21(b)). In addition to the
aforementioned list of illnesses which
must be reported to CDC, the master of
a ship or captain of an airplane must
also report (1) Hemorrhagic Fever
Syndrome (persistent fever
accompanied by abnormal bleeding
from any site); or (2) acute respiratory
syndrome (severe cough or severe
respiratory disease of less than 3 weeks
in duration); or (3) acute onset of fever
