Submission for OMB review; 30-day
Comment Request: A Generic
Submission for Formative Research,
Pretesting, and Customer Satisfaction
of NCI’s Communication and
Education Resources (NCI)
Under the provisions of
Section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the National
Institutes of Health (NIH) has submitted
to the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) a request for review and
approval of the information collection
listed below. This proposed information
collection was previously published in
the Federal Register on January 2, 2013
(Volume 78, Page 105) and allowed 60days for public comment. Two public
comments were received and responded
to. The purpose of this notice is to allow
an additional 30 days for public
comment. The National Cancer Institute
(NCI), the National Institutes of Health
may not conduct or sponsor, and the
SUMMARY:
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.
Direct Comments to OMB: Written
comments and/or suggestions regarding
the item(s) contained in this notice,
especially regarding the estimated
public burden and associated response
time, should be directed to the: Office
of Management and Budget, Office of
Regulatory Affairs,

of Communications and Education
(OCE), NCI, NIH, 6116 Executive Blvd.,

non-toll-free number (301) 435–7789 or
email your request, including your
address to: goodmann@mail.nih.gov.
Formal requests for additional plans and

Proposed Collection: A Generic
Submission For Formative Research,
Pretesting, and Customer Satisfaction of
NCI’s Communication and Education
Resources, 0925–0046, Expiration Date
2/28/2013, Reinstatement without
Change, National Cancer Institute (NCI),
National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Need and Use of Information
Collection: In order to carry out NCI’s
legislative mandate to educate and
disseminate information about cancer
prevention, detection, diagnosis, and
treatment to a wide variety of audiences
and organizations, it is beneficial for
NCI through its Office of
Communications and Education (OCE),
to pretest NCI communications
strategies, concepts, and messages while
they are under development. This
pretesting, or formative evaluation,
helps ensure that the messages,
communication materials, and
information services created by NCI
have the greatest capacity of being
received, understood, and accepted by
their target audiences. Since NCI’s OCE
is also responsible for the design,
implementation, and evaluation of
education programs over the entire
cancer continuum, and management of
NCI initiatives that address specific
challenges in cancer research and
treatment, it is also necessary to ensure
that customers are satisfied with
programs. This customer satisfaction
research helps ensure the relevance,
utility, and appropriateness of the many
educational programs and products that
OCE and NCI produce. OCE will use a
variety of qualitative (focus groups,
interviews) and quantitative (paper,
phone, in-person, and web surveys)
methodologies to conduct this formative
and customer satisfaction research,
allowing NCI to: (1) Understand
characteristics (attitudes, beliefs, and
behaviors) of the intended target
audience and use this information in the
development of effective
communication tools and strategies; (2)
use a feedback loop to help refine,
revise, and enhance messages, materials,
products, and programs—ensuring that
they have the greatest relevance, utility,
appropriateness, and impact for/to
target audiences; and (3) expend limited
program resource dollars wisely and
effectively. The participants may
include, but are not limited to, cancer
patients, their families, the general
public, health providers, the media,
voluntary groups, scientific and medical
organizations (affected public could
include individuals or households;
businesses or other for profit; not-forprofit institutions; and Federal
Government; State, Local, or Tribal
Government).
OMB approval is requested for 3
years. There are no costs to respondents
other than their time. The total
estimated burden, over three years for
this generic request are 6,600 hours.
