There is no direct cost to respondents
other than their time to voluntarily
complete the forms and submit them for
consideration. The estimated cost in
time to respondents, as a group, is
$99,355.00 (9639 burden hours x 2009
GS–3 base pay rate = $10.31 per burden
hour). This total dollar amount is based
upon the number of burden hours per

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND
HUMAN SERVICES
National Institutes of Health
Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request; A Generic
Submission for Formative Research,
Pretesting, and Customer Satisfaction
of NCI’s Communication and
Education Resources (NCI)
SUMMARY: Under the provisions of
Section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the National
Cancer Institute (NCI), the National
Institutes of Health (NIH) has submitted
to the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) a request for review and
approval of the information collection
listed below. This proposed information
collection was previously published in
the Federal Register on October 28,
2009 (74 FR 55558) and allowed 60 days
for public comment. One comment in
regards to NCI’s communication on
October 28, 2009, and we responded on
October 28, 2009, ‘‘We received your
comment. We will take your comments
into consideration’’. The purpose of this
notice is to allow an additional 30 days
for public comment. The National
Institutes of Health may not conduct or
sponsor, and the respondent is not
required to respond to, an information
collection that has been extended,
revised, or implemented on or after
October 1, 1995, unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number.
Proposed Collection: Title: A Generic
Submission for Formative Research,
Pretesting, and Customer Satisfaction of
NCI’s Communication and Education
Resources (NCI). Type of Information
Collection Request: REVISION. Need
and Use of Information Collection: In
order to carry out NCI’s legislative
mandate to educate and disseminate
information about cancer prevention,
detection, diagnosis, and treatment to a
wide variety of audiences and
organizations (e.g., cancer patients, their
families, the general public, health
providers, the media, voluntary groups,
scientific and medical organizations), it
is beneficial for NCI, through its Office
of Communications and Education
(OCE), to pretest NCI communications
strategies, concepts, and messages while
they are under development. This
pretesting, or formative evaluation,
helps ensure that the messages,
communication materials, and
information services created by NCI
have the greatest capacity of being
received, understood, and accepted by
their target audiences. Since NCI’s OCE
also is responsible for the design,
implementation, and evaluation of
education programs over the entire
cancer continuum and management of
NCI initiatives that address specific
challenges in cancer research and
treatment, it is also necessary to ensure
that customers are satisfied with
programs. This customer satisfaction
research helps ensure the relevance,
utility, and appropriateness of the many
educational programs and products that
OCE and NCI produce. OCE will use a
variety of qualitative (focus groups,
interviews) and quantitative (paper,
phone, in-person, and web surveys)
methodologies to conduct this formative
and customer satisfaction research,
allowing NCI to: (1) Understand
characteristics (attitudes, beliefs, and
behaviors) of the intended target
audience and use this information in the
development of effective
communication tools and strategies; (2)
use a feedback loop to help refine,
revise, and enhance messages, materials,
products, and programs—ensuring that
they have the greatest relevance, utility,
appropriateness, and impact for/to
target audiences; and (3) expend limited
program resource dollars wisely and
effectively. This package represents the
combination of a currently approved
generic submission, ‘‘Pretesting of NCI’s
Office of Communications Messages,’’
(OMB No. 0925–0046) and a previously
approved generic submission,
‘‘Customer Satisfaction with
Educational Programs and Products of
the NCI’’ (OMB No. 0925–0526).
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households; Businesses or other for
profit; Not-for-profit institutions;
Federal Government; State, local, or
tribal Government. Type of
Respondents: Adult cancer patients;
members of the public; health care

representatives. The table below
outlines the estimated burden hours
required for a three-year approval of this
generic submission. There are no

Maintenance Costs to report.

* For ease of understanding, burden hours are also provided in actual minutes.
There is no direct cost to respondents other than their time to
voluntarily complete the forms and submit them for consideration. The
estimated cost in time to respondents, as a group, is $99,355.00 (9639
burden hours x 2009 GS-3 base pay rate = $10.31 per burden hour). This
total dollar amount is based upon the number of burden hours per data
collection instrument, rounded to the nearest dollar.
