Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) requires Federal agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of information before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To comply with this requirement, FDA is publishing notice of the proposed collection of information set forth in this document. With respect to the following collection of information, FDA invites comments on these topics: (1) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of FDA’s functions, including whether the information will have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of FDA’s estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques, when appropriate, and other forms of information technology.

In conducting such research, FDA will employ formative pretests to assess the likely effectiveness of tobacco communications with specific target audiences. The information collected will serve two major purposes. First, as formative research it will provide the critical knowledge needed about target audiences. FDA must first understand critical influences on people’s decisionmaking process when choosing to use, not use, or quit using tobacco products. In addition to understanding the decisionmaking processes of adults, it is also critical to understand the decisionmaking processes among adolescents (ages 13 to 17), where communications will aim to discourage tobacco use before it starts. Knowledge of these decisionmaking processes will be applied by FDA to help design effective communication strategies, messages, and warning labels. Second, as initial testing, it will allow FDA to assess the potential effectiveness of messages and materials in reaching and successfully communicating with their intended audiences. Pretesting messages with a sample of the target audience will allow FDA to refine messages while they are still in the developmental stage. By utilizing appropriate qualitative and quantitative methodologies, FDA will be able to: (1) Better understand characteristics of the target audience-its attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors-and use E:\FR\FM\01MRN1.SGM 01MRN1 9226 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 39 / Monday, March 1, 2010 / Notices these in the development of effective risk communications; (2) more efficiently and effectively design messages and select formats that have the greatest potential to influence the target audience’s attitudes and behavior in a favorable way; (3) determine the best promotion and distribution channels to reach the target audience with appropriate messages; and (4) expend limited program resource dollars wisely and effectively.

Human Tissue Intended for Transplantation—21 CFR Part 1270 (OMB Control Number 0910–0302)— Extension Under section 361 of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C. 264), FDA issued regulations under part 1270 (21 CFR part 1270) to prevent the transmission of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B, and hepatitis C through the use of human tissue for transplantation. The regulations provide for inspection by FDA of persons and tissue establishments engaged in the recovery, screening, testing, processing, storage, or distribution of human tissue. These facilities are required to meet provisions intended to ensure appropriate screening and testing of human tissue donors and to ensure that records are kept documenting that the appropriate screening and testing have been completed. Section 1270.31(a) through (d) requires written procedures to be prepared and followed for the following steps: (1) All significant steps in the infectious disease testing process under § 1270.21; (2) all significant steps for obtaining, reviewing, and assessing the relevant medical records of the donor as prescribed in § 1270.21; (3) designating and identifying quarantined tissue; and (4) for prevention of infectious disease contamination or cross-contamination by tissue during processing. Section 1270.31(a) and (b) also requires recording and justification of any deviation from the written procedures. Section 1270.33(a) requires records to be maintained concurrently with the performance of each significant step in the performance of infectious disease screening and testing of human tissue E:\FR\FM\01MRN1.SGM 01MRN1

Pretesting of Tobacco Communications

    In order to conduct educational and public information programs 
relating to tobacco use, as authorized by section 903(d)(2)(D) of the 
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 393(d)(2)(D)) and to 
develop stronger health warnings on tobacco packaging as authorized by 
the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (Tobacco Control 
Act), it is beneficial for FDA to conduct research and studies relating 
to the control and prevention of disease as authorized by section 301 
of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C 241(a)). In conducting such 
research, FDA will employ formative pretests to assess the likely 
effectiveness of tobacco communications with specific target audiences. 
The information collected will serve two major purposes. First, as 
formative research it will provide the critical knowledge needed about 
target audiences. FDA must first understand critical influences on 
people's decisionmaking process when choosing to use, not use, or quit 
using tobacco products. In addition to understanding the decisionmaking

appropriate messages; and (4) expend limited program resource dollars
