Respondents will be asked to give their reaction to the messages in either individual or group settings. Third, as evaluative research, it will allow FDA to ascertain the effectiveness of the messages and the distribution method of these messages in achieving the objectives of the message campaign. Evaluation of campaigns is a vital link in continuous improvement of communications at FDA. FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as follows: TABLE 1.—ESTIMATED ANNUAL REPORTING BURDEN1 No. of Respondents 21 U.S.C. 393(d)(2)(D) Annual Frequency per Response Total Annual Responses Hours per Response Total Hours Individual indepth interviews 360 1 360 .75 270 General public focus group interviews 144 1 144 1.5 216 Intercept interviews: Central location 600 1 600 .25 150 10,000 1 10,000 .08 800 2,400 1 2,400 .25 600 400 1 400 .50 200 2,400 1 2,400 .17 408 Intercept Interviews: Telephone2 Self-administered surveys Gatekeeper reviews Omnibus surveys Total (general public) 2,644 Total veterinarian/scientific expert focus group interviews 144 1 144 Total Burden 1 There 2 These 1.5 216 2,860 are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information. are brief interviews with callers to test message concepts and strategies following their call-in request to an FDA Center 1–800 number. FDA’s estimate for the annual reporting burden of the proposed collection of information requirements is based on recent prior experience with the various types of data collection methods described previously. FDA projects about 30 studies for which the annual reporting burden is estimated to be 2,860 hours. Dated: August 13, 2010. Leslie Kux, Acting Assistant Commissioner for Policy.

Proposed Collection; Comment Request; STAR METRICS--Science and 
Technology in America's Reinvestment: Measuring the Effects of Research 
on Innovation, Competitiveness and Science

SUMMARY: 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 Office of Science Policy 
Analysis (OSPA), the National Institutes of Health (NIH) will publish 
periodic summaries of proposed projects to be submitted to the Office 
of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval.
    Proposed Collection: Title: STAR METRICS--Science and Technology 
for America's Reinvestment: Measuring the Effects of Research on 
Innovation, Competitiveness and Science.
    Type of Information Collection Request: Extension.
    Need and Use of Information Collection: The aim of STAR METRICS is 
twofold. The initial goal of STAR METRICS is to provide mechanisms that 
will allow participating universities and Federal agencies with a 
reliable and consistent means to account for the number of scientists 
and staff that are on research institution payrolls, supported by 
Federal funds. In subsequent generations of the program, it is hoped 
that STAR METRICS will allow for measurement of science impact on 
economic outcomes (such as job creation), on knowledge generation (such 
as citations and patents) as well as on social and health outcomes.
    Frequency of Response: Quarterly.
    Affected Public: Universities.
    Type of Respondents: University administrators.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 100.
    Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 4.
    Average Burden Hours per Response: Reduced by 156.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours Requested: Reduced by 15,600.
    The annualized cost to respondents is estimated to be reduced by 
$780,000. There are no Capital Costs to report. There are no Operating 
or Maintenance Costs to report.

    Note: The following table is acceptable for the Respondent and 
Burden Estimate information, if appropriate, instead of the text as 
shown above.
