These focus groups will be conducted in Atlanta, Georgia (4) and San Diego, California (4). Findings from the focus groups will inform revisions to existing CDC messages and materials, which will be further tested in the second information collection activity, the online survey. Phase II research will include an online survey to test the revised messages and materials. This web survey will: (1) Examine baseline awareness and knowledge regarding CMV, (2) assess baseline CMV prevention behaviors prior to viewing CMV communication interventions (factsheet and video), (3) assess appeal and evaluate the impact of CMV communication interventions on their attitudes, beliefs, and behavioral intentions regarding prevention behaviors and (4) assess knowledge, attitudes and behaviors pre- and postinterventions with a larger target audience sample (N=500). We estimate that we will screen 3,000 women in order to recruit 500 respondents for the online survey. All survey responses (100%) will be submitted through a secure survey Web site established for this project. No Information in Identifiable Form (IIF) collected will be transmitted to CDC. The only IIF being collected (respondent name, address, and phone number) is to be used by the focus group facilities to screen potential respondents to determine eligibility for the focus groups.

Proposed Project Communications Research to Inform Messages and Materials about Cytomegalovirus (CMV)—NEW— Prevention Research Branch, National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities (NCBDDD), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is the most common congenital infection in the U.S., causing disabilities in more than 5,500 children born each year (CDC, 2010). Disabilities related to congenital CMV are more common than other wellknown childhood conditions, such as Down syndrome, fetal alcohol syndrome, and neural tube defects, and can include hearing or vision loss, mental retardation, psychomotor delays, and speech and language impairment. This is a multiphase communication research study that will help inform CDC’s development materials and prevention messaging about congenital CMV. The information collection activities will consist of focus groups and an online survey. First, we plan to conduct 8 focus groups with 9 respondents each to identify potential messaging frames for communicating information about congenital CMV to the target audiences and adopting CMV preventive guidelines.

List of Ingredients Added to Tobacco in the Manufacture of Cigarette Products—Extension—Office on Smoking and Health, National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description Cigarette smoking is the leading preventable cause of premature death and disability in the United States. Each year, more than 440,000 premature deaths occur as the result of diseases related to cigarette smoking. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Office on Smoking and Health (OSH) has the primary responsibility for the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) smoking and health program. HHS’s overall goal is to reduce death and disability resulting from cigarette smoking and other forms of tobacco use through programs of information, education and research. The Comprehensive Smoking Education Act of 1984 (CSEA, 15 U.S.C. 1336 or Pub. L. 98–474) requires each person who manufactures, packages, or imports cigarettes to provide the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) with a list of ingredients added to tobacco in the manufacture of cigarettes. The legislation also authorizes HHS to undertake research, PO 00000 Frm 00064 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 and to report to the Congress (as deemed appropriate) discussing the health effects of these ingredients. HHS has delegated responsibility for implementing the CSEA’s ingredient reporting requirements to CDC’s Office on Smoking and Health (OSH). OSH has collected ingredient reports on cigarette products since 1986. Respondents are commercial cigarette manufacturers, packagers, or importers, or their designated representatives. Respondents are not required to submit specific forms, however, they are required to submit a list of all ingredients used in their products. CDC requires the ingredient report to be submitted by chemical name and Chemical Abstract Service (CAS) Registration Number, consistent with accepted reporting practices for other companies currently required to report ingredients added to other consumer products. Typically, respondents submit a summary report to CDC with the ingredient information for multiple products, or a statement that there are no changes to their previously submitted ingredient report. The estimated burden per response is 6.5 hours. Ingredient reports for new products are due at the time of first importation. Thereafter, ingredient reports are due annually on March 31. Information is submitted to OSH by mailing a written report on the respondent’s letterhead, by CD, three-inch floppy disk, or thumb drive. Electronic mail submissions are not accepted. Upon receipt and verification of the annual ingredient report, OSH issues a Certificate of Compliance to the respondent. There are no costs to respondents other than their time.

Proposed Project

    Communications Research to Inform Messages and Materials about 
Cytomegalovirus (CMV)--NEW--Prevention Research Branch, National Center 
on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities (NCBDDD), Centers for 
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is the most common congenital infection in 
the U.S., causing disabilities in more than 5,500 children born each 
year (CDC, 2010). Disabilities related to congenital CMV are more 
common than other well-known childhood conditions, such as Down 
syndrome, fetal alcohol syndrome, and neural tube defects, and can 
include hearing or vision loss, mental retardation, psychomotor delays, 
and speech and language impairment.
    This is a multiphase communication research study that will help 
inform CDC's development materials and prevention messaging about 
congenital CMV. The information collection activities will consist of 
focus groups and an online survey. First, we plan to conduct 8 focus 
groups with 9 respondents each to identify potential messaging frames 
for communicating information about congenital CMV to the target 
audiences and adopting CMV preventive guidelines. We estimate that we 
will screen 144 women between the ages of 18-40 who are either pregnant 
or plan to get pregnant in the next 12 months, and who have a child 
under age 5, in order to recruit 72 participants for the focus groups. 
These focus groups will be conducted in Atlanta, Georgia (4) and San 
Diego, California (4). Findings from the focus groups will inform 
revisions to existing CDC messages and materials, which will be further 
tested in the second information collection activity, the online 
survey. Phase II research will include an online survey to test the 
revised messages and materials. This web survey will: (1) Examine 
baseline awareness and knowledge regarding CMV, (2) assess baseline CMV 
prevention behaviors prior to viewing CMV communication interventions 
(factsheet and video), (3) assess appeal and evaluate the impact of CMV 
communication interventions on their attitudes, beliefs, and behavioral 
intentions regarding prevention behaviors and (4) assess knowledge, 
attitudes and behaviors pre- and post- interventions with a larger 
target audience sample (N=500). We estimate that we will screen 3,000 
women in order to recruit 500 respondents for the online survey.
    All survey responses (100%) will be submitted through a secure 
survey Web site established for this project. No Information in 
Identifiable Form (IIF) collected will be transmitted to CDC. The only 
IIF being collected (respondent name, address, and phone number) is to
