fund includes serving geographies or
individuals located within the
institution’s assessment area(s) or a
broader statewide or regional area that
includes the institution’s assessment
area(s). Typically, information about
where a fund’s investments are expected
to be made or targeted will be found in
the fund’s prospectus, or other
documents provided by the fund prior
to or at the time of the institution’s
investment, and the institution, at its
option, may provide such
documentation in connection with its
CRA evaluation.
Nationwide funds are important
sources of investments in low- and
moderate-income and underserved
communities throughout the country
and can be an efficient vehicle for
institutions in making qualified
investments that help meet community
development needs. Nationwide funds
may be suitable investment
opportunities, particularly for large
financial institutions with a nationwide
branch footprint. Other financial
institutions, including those with a
nationwide business focus, may find
such funds to be efficient investment
vehicles to help meet community
development needs in their assessment
area(s) or the broader statewide or
regional area that includes their
assessment area(s). Prior to investing in
such a fund, an institution should
consider reviewing the fund’s
investment record to see if it is generally
consistent with the institution’s
investment goals and the geographic
considerations in the regulations.
Examiners will consider investments in
nationwide funds that benefit the
institution’s assessment area(s).
Examiners will also consider
investments in nationwide funds that
benefit the broader statewide or regional
area that includes the institution’s
assessment area(s) consistent with the
treatment detailed in Q&A § l.12(h)–6.

Proposed Project
Evaluation of the National Tobacco
Prevention and Control Public
Education Campaign (OMB No. 0920–
0923, exp. 4/30/2014)—Revision—
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 a two-year
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) approval to conduct a Web-based
longitudinal study of smokers and nonsmokers in the U.S. This study will be
fielded for purposes of evaluating the
CDC’s National Tobacco Prevention and
Control Public Education Campaign
(The Campaign) and monitoring its
longer term impact. We will conduct 5
survey waves of data collection among
E:\FR\FM\20NON1.SGM
20NON1
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 224 / Wednesday, November 20, 2013 / Notices
smokers and nonsmokers to facilitate
repeated measures on outcomes relevant
to the evaluation. Information will be
collected about smokers’ and nonsmokers’ awareness of and exposure to
specific campaign advertisements,
knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs related
to smoking and secondhand smoke. The
surveys will also measure behaviors
related to smoking cessation (among the
smokers in the sample) and behaviors
related to non-smokers’ encouragement
of smokers to quit smoking and
recommendations of cessation services.
Data from these surveys will be used to
examine the statistical relationships
between exposure to The Campaign and
changes in outcome variables relevant to
the evaluation. This approach builds on
previous phases of The Campaign and
the evaluations of those phases.
This study will rely on Web surveys
to be self-administered at home on
personal computers. Specifically, we
will conduct a multi-wave longitudinal
study of smokers (5 waves) and nonsmokers (4 waves) to facilitate repeated
measures on outcomes related to the
evaluation and to the work of CDC’s
Office on Smoking and Health. The
wave 1 survey will be fielded in early
2014, upon OMB approval. Participants
who complete the wave 1 survey will be
surveyed again in a follow-up survey
approximately three months later.
Subsequent follow-up surveys (3 for
smokers, 2 for nonsmokers) will occur
periodically after the initial wave 1 and
wave 2 surveys to assess long-term,
lasting impacts of The Campaign. One of
the primary purposes of the subsequent
follow-up surveys will be to track
longer-term cigarette abstinence among
smokers who initially report quitting as
a result of The Campaign. This will be
essential to properly estimating the
impact of The Campaign on long-term
successful quitting. Tracking of longer
term abstinence will require assessment
of use of different products over time. In
addition, the three additional follow-up
surveys may include additional survey
items on other topics of interest to the
CDC and its stakeholders, including
more in-depth information on marketing
exposure and use of cigars,
noncombustible tobacco products, and
other emerging trends in tobacco use
including electronic delivery devices
(e.g., e-cigarettes). It is important to
evaluate The Campaign in a context that
assesses the dynamic nature of tobacco
product marketing and uptake of
various tobacco products as these can
impact the success of The Campaign in
motivating long-term quitting.
Therefore, it may be necessary in the
future to make additional requests to
OMB for changes in the planned followup instruments to re-balance the content
69681
of the surveys to reflect these and other
emerging trends in the tobacco product
environment.
The sample for this study will
originate from two sources: (1) A new
online longitudinal cohort of smokers
and nonsmokers, sampled randomly
from postal mailing addresses in the
U.S. using address based sampling
(ABS) methods; and (2) the existing GfK
KnowledgePanel, an established longterm online panel of U.S. adults. The
new ABS-sourced longitudinal cohort
will consist of smokers and nonsmokers
who have not previously participated in
any established online panels. This new
cohort will be recruited by GfK,
utilizing identical recruitment methods
that are used in the recruitment of
KnowledgePanel. The GfK
KnowledgePanel will be used in
combination with the new ABS-sourced
cohort to support larger sample sizes
that will allow for more in-depth
subgroup analysis, which is a key
objective of the CDC. All online surveys,
regardless of sample source, will be
conducted via the GfK KnowledgePanel
Web portal for self-administered
surveys.
Participation is voluntary and there
are no costs to respondents other than
their time.
