This proposed information collection was previously published in the Federal Register on November 17, 2010 (Volume 75, Number 221), page 70270–70271 and allowed 60-days for public comment. In response, NIAID received two requests for copies of the clearance package, which were provided. No additional requests, comments or suggestions were received. The purpose SUMMARY: 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: Pretesting of NIAID’s Biomedical HIV Prevention Research Communication Messages. Type of Information Collection Request: Revision of a previously approved collection. Need and Use of Information Collection: This is a request for clearance to pretest messages, materials and program activities about biomedical HIV prevention research. The primary objectives of the pretests are to (1) assess audience knowledge, attitudes, behaviors and other characteristics for the planning/development of health messages, education products, communication strategies, and public information programs; and (2) pretest these health messages, products, strategies, and program components while they are in developmental form to assess audience comprehension, reactions, and perceptions. The information obtained from audience research and pretesting results in more effective messages, materials, and programmatic strategies. By maximizing the effectiveness of these messages and strategies for reaching targeted audiences, the frequency with which publications, products, and programs need to be modified is reduced. Frequency of Response: On occasion. Affected Public: Individuals. Type of Respondents: Adults at risk for HIV/ AIDS; healthcare providers; representatives of organizations disseminating HIV-related messages or materials. The total reporting burden over the 3-year period is shown in the table below. There are no Capital Costs to report. There are no Operating or Maintenance Costs to report.

SUMMARY: Under the provisions of Section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious
Diseases (NIAID), the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has submitted

on November 17, 2010 (Volume 75, Number 221), page 70270-70271 and
allowed 60-days for public comment. In response, NIAID received two
requests for copies of the clearance package, which were provided. No

education products, communication strategies, and public information
programs; and (2) pretest these health messages, products, strategies,
and program components while they are in developmental form to assess
