Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review, 508-509 [2011-33799]

Download as PDF 508 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 3 / Thursday, January 5, 2012 / Notices organizations, and private public health organizations. FMS provides an efficient and effective way for processing fellowship application data, selecting qualified candidates, maintaining a current alumni database, documenting the impact of the fellowships on alumni careers, and generating reports. This proposed revision will provide a secure site within this existing electronic system for designated employees of public health agencies and organizations to submit fellowship assignment proposals electronically. Designated employees of public health agencies or organizations will answer a standardized set of core questions within FMS about the proposed assignments, including the type of public health agency or organization submitting the proposal; proposed fellow activities, including training and opportunities for service and collaboration; and how the fellow will be supported, including the type and extent of mentorship and supervision the fellow will receive. This revision enhances FMS to include a function that will result in a standardized process for submitting and reviewing host assignment proposals across fellowships. The electronic assignment proposal process that FMS provides optimizes the matching of qualified fellowship candidates with host sites and will result in an optimal fit between fellows and their assignments—ultimately leading to long-term employment and sustained public health capacity of state and local health departments and other nonfederal public health agencies and organizations. The annual burden table has been updated to reflect the number of respondents from nonfederal public health agencies or organizations that submit assignment proposals to host fellows. Some alumni are deceased or cannot be located. Response burden assumes response from an individual responding alumnus, on average, every 3 years (which is likely an overestimate of frequency). There is no cost to respondents other than their time. The total estimated annual burden hours are 1201.

Background and Brief Description The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) requests OMB approval to collect information needed for evaluating the CDC’s National Tobacco Prevention and Control Public Education Campaign (The Campaign). This campaign, which is expected to launch in February/March 2012, is the first Federally-funded media campaign in the U.S. that describes the harms from smoking and will feature televised advertisements that will air nationally along with complementary ads on radio, the Internet, in print, and other forms of media. CDC plans to conduct an initial baseline survey of adults before the launch of The Campaign and a longitudinal follow-up survey of those participants approximately three to four months later. Information will be collected about adult smokers’ awareness of and exposure to campaign advertisements, and about their knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs related to smoking and secondhand smoke.

Information will also be collected on demographic variables including age, sex, race, education, income, primary language, and marital status. Data from this survey will be used to estimate the extent to which smokers and non-smokers in the U.S. were exposed to The Campaign and to examine the statistical relationships between adults’ exposure to The Campaign and changes in outcome variables of interest including attempts to quit smoking. Information will be collected through on-line questionnaires involving adult smokers and non-smokers in the U.S., ages 18–54. Respondents who are smokers will be recruited from two sources: a probability sample drawn from the Knowledge Networks KnowledgePanel®, a panel that uses address-based postal mail sampling to generate a probability-based online panel of U.S. adults, and a supplemental sample from SSI, a leading provider of online sampling in the U.S. Respondents who are non-smokers will be recruited from Knowledge Networks. The target number of complete pre-/ post-campaign questionnaires for smokers is 5,000.

To obtain the target number of complete pre-/post-campaign responses, approximately 34,660 respondents will be contacted through an initial screening and consent process. The estimated burden per response is two minutes. An estimated 11,600 smokers will be recruited to complete the Smoker Baseline Questionnaire in order to yield 5,000 completed post-campaign Smoker Follow-Up Questionnaires. An estimated 2,666 non-smokers will be recruited to complete the Non-smoker Baseline Questionnaire in order to yield 2,000 completed post-campaign Nonsmoker Follow-up Questionnaires. For both respondent groups, the estimated burden per response is 25 minutes for each baseline questionnaire. In addition, the estimated burden per response is 25 minutes for each post-campaign (followup) questionnaire. Data from this information collection will be used to estimate awareness of and exposure to The Campaign among smokers and non-smokers nationally as well as among the planned subset of smokers in high-delivery geographic areas for The Campaign. These estimates will take the form of self-reported ad recognition and recall estimates that assess basic exposure as well as frequency of ad exposure. Data from this information collection will also be used to examine statistical associations between exposure to The Campaign and pre-post changes in specific outcomes of interest which will include knowledge, attitudes, beliefs and intentions related to smoking and cessation as well as behavioral outcomes including quit attempts and cigarette consumption. OMB approval is requested for one year. There are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total estimated burden hours are 10,015.

Proposed Project

    Evaluation of the National Tobacco Prevention and Control Public 
Education Campaign--New--National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention 
and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) requests OMB 
approval to collect information needed for evaluating the CDC's 
National Tobacco Prevention and Control Public Education Campaign (The 
Campaign). This campaign, which is expected to launch in February/March 
2012, is the first Federally-funded media campaign in the U.S. that 
describes the harms from smoking and will feature televised 
advertisements that will air nationally along with complementary ads on 
radio, the Internet, in print, and other forms of media.
    CDC plans to conduct an initial baseline survey of adults before 
the launch of The Campaign and a longitudinal follow-up survey of those 
participants approximately three to four months later. Information will 
be collected about adult smokers' awareness of and exposure to campaign 
advertisements, and about their knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs 
related to smoking and secondhand smoke. In addition, the survey will 
measure behaviors related to smoking cessation and behaviors related to 
interpersonal communication about smoking. Information will also be 
collected on demographic variables including age, sex, race, education, 
income, primary language, and marital status.
    Data from this survey will be used to estimate the extent to which 
smokers and non-smokers in the U.S. were exposed to The Campaign and to 
examine the statistical relationships between adults' exposure to The 
Campaign and changes in outcome variables of interest including 
attempts to quit smoking.
    Information will be collected through on-line questionnaires 
involving adult smokers and non-smokers in the U.S., ages 18-54. 
Respondents who are smokers will be recruited from two sources: a 
probability sample drawn from the Knowledge Networks 
KnowledgePanel[supreg], a panel that uses address-based postal mail 
sampling to generate a probability-based online panel of U.S. adults, 
and a supplemental sample from SSI, a leading provider of online 
sampling in the U.S. Respondents who are non-smokers will be recruited 
from Knowledge Networks. The target number of complete pre-/post-
campaign questionnaires for smokers is 5,000. The target number of

[[Page 509]]

complete pre-/post-campaign questionnaires for non-smokers is 2,000.
    To obtain the target number of complete pre-/post-campaign 
responses, approximately 34,660 respondents will be contacted through 
an initial screening and consent process. The estimated burden per 
response is two minutes.
    An estimated 11,600 smokers will be recruited to complete the 
Smoker Baseline Questionnaire in order to yield 5,000 completed post-
campaign Smoker Follow-Up Questionnaires. An estimated 2,666 non-
smokers will be recruited to complete the Non-smoker Baseline 
Questionnaire in order to yield 2,000 completed post-campaign Non-
smoker Follow-up Questionnaires. For both respondent groups, the 
estimated burden per response is 25 minutes for each baseline 
questionnaire. In addition, the estimated burden per response is 25 
minutes for each post-campaign (follow-up) questionnaire.
    Data from this information collection will be used to estimate 
awareness of and exposure to The Campaign among smokers and non-smokers 
nationally as well as among the planned subset of smokers in high-
delivery geographic areas for The Campaign. These estimates will take 
the form of self-reported ad recognition and recall estimates that 
assess basic exposure as well as frequency of ad exposure. Data from 
this information collection will also be used to examine statistical 
associations between exposure to The Campaign and pre-post changes in 
specific outcomes of interest which will include knowledge, attitudes, 
beliefs and intentions related to smoking and cessation as well as 
behavioral outcomes including quit attempts and cigarette consumption.
    OMB approval is requested for one year. There are no costs to 
respondents other than their time. The total estimated burden hours are 
10,015.
