main reasons: (1) To collect crucial
information required to report on the
Administration for Native Americans’
(ANA) established Government

ANA’s congressionally-mandated
statute (42 United States Code 2991 et
seq.) found within the Native American
Programs Act of 1974, as amended,
which states that ANA will evaluate
projects assisted through ANA grant
dollars ‘‘including evaluations that
describe and measure the impact of
such projects, their effectiveness in
achieving stated goals, their impact on
related programs, and their structure
and mechanisms for delivery of
services.’’ The information collected

serve as an important planning and
performance tool for ANA.
Respondents: Tribal Governments,

The Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) is announcing

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Daniel Gittleson, Office of Information
Management, Food and Drug

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, FDA
has submitted the following proposed
collection of information to OMB for
review and clearance.
Pretesting of Tobacco
Communications—(OMB Control
Number 0910–0674)—Extension
In order to conduct educational and
public information programs relating to
tobacco use, as authorized by section
1003(d)(2)(D) of the Federal Food, Drug,
and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act) (21
U.S.C. 393(d)(2)(D)), and to develop
stronger health warnings on tobacco
packaging as authorized by the Family
Smoking Prevention and Tobacco
Control Act (Tobacco Control Act), it is
beneficial for FDA to conduct research
and studies relating to the control and
prevention of disease as authorized by
section 301 of the Public Health Service
Act (42 U.S.C. 241(a)). In conducting
such research, FDA will employ
formative pretests to assess the likely
effectiveness of tobacco

communications with specific target
audiences.
The information collected will serve
two major purposes. First, as formative
research it will provide the critical
knowledge needed about target
audiences. FDA must first understand
critical influences on people’s
decisionmaking process when choosing
to use, not use, or quit using tobacco
products. In addition to understanding
the decisionmaking processes of adults,
it is also critical to understand the
decisionmaking processes among
adolescents (ages 13 to 17), where
communications will aim to discourage
tobacco use before it starts. Knowledge
of these decisionmaking processes will
be applied by FDA to help design
effective communication strategies,
messages, and warning labels. Second,
as initial testing, it will allow FDA to
assess the potential effectiveness of
messages and materials in reaching and
successfully communicating with their
intended audiences. Pretesting messages
with a sample of the target audience
will allow FDA to refine messages while
they are still in the developmental stage.
By utilizing appropriate qualitative and
quantitative methodologies, FDA will be
able to: (1) Better understand
characteristics of the target audience—
its attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors—and
use risk communications; (2) more
efficiently and effectively design
messages and select formats that have
the greatest potential to influence the
target audience’s attitudes and behavior
in a favorable way; (3) determine the
best promotion and distribution
channels to reach the target audience
with appropriate messages; and (4)
expend limited program resource
dollars wisely and effectively.
In the Federal Register of August 17,
2012 (77 FR 49819), FDA published a
60-day notice requesting public
comment on the proposed collection of
information. Three comments were
received, which included one comment
that was not PRA-related and beyond
the scope of this document, and one
comment that was in full support of
pretesting tobacco communications. The
third commenter indicated that the
authorizing statute was incorrectly
identified. The correct authorizing
statute is section 1003(d)(2)(D) of the
FD&C Act. The commenter also
