Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork
Reduction Act Review
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) publishes a list of
information collection requests under
review by the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) in compliance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
chapter 35). To request a copy of these
requests, call the CDC Reports Clearance
Officer at (404) 639–5960 or send an
email to omb@cdc.gov. Send written
comments to CDC Desk Officer, Office of
Management and Budget, Washington,
DC or by fax to (202) 395–5806. Written

Proposed Project
Testing and Evaluation of Tobacco
Communication Activities—New—
Office on Smoking and Health (OSH),
National Center for Chronic Disease
Prevention and Health Promotion
(NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description
Tobacco use remains the leading
preventable cause of death in the United
States. Recent legislative developments
highlight the importance of tobacco
control—and appropriate tobacco
control messages—in efforts to improve
the nation’s health. These developments
include the Prevention and Public
Health Fund, established by the
Affordable Care Act (ACA), which
supports initiatives designed to reduce
the health and financial burden of
tobacco use through prevention and
cessation approaches.
CDC requests OMB approval of a new,
generic clearance mechanism to support
information collection for the
development, implementation and
evaluation of tobacco-related health
messages, health communication
programs, and campaigns. The proposed
generic mechanism will establish a
unified clearance framework for a broad
array of tobacco-related communication
activities, which may occur on an asneeded basis, or in the context of a
coordinated series of activities. A
generic clearance is needed to support
the breadth, flexibility and timesensitivity of information collections
required to plan, execute and evaluate
an ACA-funded tobacco communication
campaign, as well as ongoing health
communication efforts in CDC’s Office
on Smoking and Health (OSH). OSH
employs a strategic and systematic
approach to the design and evaluation
of high-quality health messages and
campaigns, by applying scientific
methods to the development of health
messages, obtaining input from public
health partners, and pre-testing with
target audiences.
OMB approval for each data
collection activity conducted under the
generic clearance will be requested
through a specific Information
Collection Request that describes the
activity’s purpose, use, methodology,
and burden on respondents. A variety of
methods will be employed, including:
(1) In-depth interviews, such as
cognitive interviews and interviews
with key informants. In-depth
interviews will typically be conducted
in-person with an average burden per
response of one hour. The total
18,525
Number of
responses per
respondent

Average
burden per

(in hours)

estimated annualized burden for indepth interviews is 67 hours.
(2) In-person focus groups, primarily
for creative concept testing, and online
focus groups, primarily for social media
concept testing. The estimated burden
per response is 1–1.5 hours. The total
estimated annualized burden for focus
groups is 360 hours.
(3) Short surveys involving an average
burden per response of 10 minutes,
conducted online or through bulletin
boards, for message platform testing,
message validation and copy testing,
pilot evaluation activities, and rough cut
testing. The total estimated annualized
burden for short surveys is 1,334 hours.
(4) Medium-length surveys involving
an average burden of 25 minutes per
response, conducted by telephone or
online, for campaign evaluation,
quantitative social media concept
testing, and validation of advertisements
and Surgeon General report materials.
The total estimated annualized burden
for medium-length surveys is 5,555
hours.
(5) In-depth surveys involving an
average burden of one hour per
response, for formative testing, outcome
evaluation, and analyses of exposure,
awareness, and knowledge, attitudes or
behavior. The total estimated
annualized burden for in-depth surveys
is 1,292 hours.
Results of these information
collections will be used to improve the
clarity, salience, appeal, and
persuasiveness of messages and
campaigns that support the prevention
and control of tobacco use.
Approval of the generic mechanism is
requested for three years. Respondents
will be members of the general public or
target populations. Participation in data
collection is voluntary, and there are no
costs to respondents other than their
time. The total estimated annualized
burden hours are 8,608.
