Background As the nation’s consumer protection agency, the FTC is responsible for enforcing laws that prohibit unfair and deceptive advertising and marketing practices. Part of this mission involves educating consumers, including young consumers. In April 2010, the FTC launched a youth-directed multi-media advertising literacy campaign called Admongo and distributed accompanying lesson plans to 100,000 educators in every U.S. public school with a fifth or sixth grade class. The Admongo program aims to help children from 8 to 12 become more discerning consumers of information. The program has three broad objectives: (1) Raising awareness of advertising and marketing messages; (2) teaching critical thinking skills that will help children analyze and interpret advertisements; E:\FR\FM\03MRN1.SGM 03MRN1 11790 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 41 / Monday, March 3, 2014 / Notices mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES and (3) demonstrating the benefits of being an informed consumer. The program is designed to teach students specific skills: how to identify ads, how to identify the ways advertisers target certain groups of consumers, how to spot persuasive techniques commonly employed by ads, and how to apply an understanding of advertising techniques to make smarter purchases. The campaign includes an online game, inschool lesson plans, training videos for teachers, and sample ads that can be used at home and in the classroom. The public can utilize individual components of Admongo as desired, or alternatively, schools can integrate all the components to build a cohesive unit on advertising literacy. All materials are free and can be viewed at www.admongo.gov. The proposed evaluation is designed to assess the impact of the Admongo online game. The game is an interactive teaching tool in which players advance levels by mastering progressively more sophisticated topics in advertising. Players start by identifying ads, including logos and product placement; they advance to learning about the elements of advertising (graphics, copy, video and audio) and then how ads are targeted. The game culminates in players creating their own video ad to target a specific audience. The proposed evaluation seeks to measure the effect of playing the Admongo game on a child’s level of advertising literacy, as measured by a test specially written for this purpose by FTC staff. The online game is the one component of the Admongo program that children can most easily discover, engage with, and learn from on their own. The FTC would like to evaluate the effectiveness of the online game. Cost effectiveness data will enable FTC staff to evaluate both this program and the potential use of other similar programs in the future. The FTC is particularly interested in the effect of game play on the ability to interpret real ads (i.e., to differentiate explicit and implied claims, to identify particular persuasive techniques and understand why they were chosen, etc.), as well as the ways in which this effect varies by age and other family and demographic characteristics. II. Paperwork Reduction Act Under the PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501–3521, federal agencies must obtain approval (‘‘clearance’’) from OMB for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor. ‘‘Collection of information’’ includes disclosure to an agency, third parties, or the public of information by or for an agency through identical VerDate Mar<15>2010 19:40 Feb 28, 2014 Jkt 232001 questions posed to, or identical reporting, recordkeeping, or disclosure requirements imposed on, ten or more persons. 44 U.S.C. 3502(3)(A). As required by section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, the FTC is providing an opportunity for public comment before seeking OMB clearance for the information collections presented here. The FTC invites comments on: (1) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information will have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information. A. Description of the collection of information and proposed use Subject to OMB approval, the FTC will conduct a randomized trial of the Admongo online game, involving 800 students, ages 8–12. A market research contractor will select students for participation from among its existing panelists. Students must have parental permission to participate in the evaluation. A randomly selected half of the participants will be assigned to a treatment group, and the remaining students will be assigned to a control group. Treatment students will be instructed to play the Admongo online game from their homes for one hour and then to complete an advertising literacy test (also online) within the allotted time (20 minutes). To ensure that each treatment student’s true exposure to the game is accurately recorded, her time spent playing (and other measures of her performance within the game) will be monitored and logged by the game’s server. Control students will be instructed to take the test without playing the Admongo game. To ensure that control group members do not play the game, no mention will be made to these students about the existence of Admongo or its connection to the test they are instructed to take. To further ensure the integrity of the evaluation, the market research company will screen out any panelist who has been exposed to Admongo prior to this study. Admongo’s effect on ad literacy will be estimated from the difference in test scores between the control and treatment groups. Additional variables measuring demographic, financial, and family characteristics of the students, to the extent this information can be PO 00000 Frm 00041 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 captured through a screening questionnaire that is administered to participants’ parents, will increase the precision of the estimate of Admongo’s impact and also will reveal the influence of these factors on ad literacy. The sample will be selected to mirror the 8–12 year-old U.S. population along a number of observable dimensions. However, because participation in the study is voluntary, the sample may suffer from selection bias and may not constitute a nationally representative sample of 8–12 year-old American children. Therefore, the estimate of Admongo’s impact, derived from this sample, will not generalize to the broader audience of all 8–12 year-old Americans. B. Estimated Burden Hours The proposed evaluation will involve 800 students ages 8–12. The half of the sample assigned to the treatment group will play the Admongo online game for one hour and then take a 20-minute advertising literacy test immediately afterwards. The time burden for the treatment-group totals 533 hours. The half of the sample assigned to the control group will take the quiz without playing the game. The time burden for the control group will be only the time required to take the test—133 hours in total. Finally, a parent of each participating student will be asked to complete a screening questionnaire, estimated to take 5 minutes. The aggregate time burden from the questionnaire totals 67 hours. Therefore, the total time burden for all participants equals 733 hours. C. Estimated Costs The costs to respondents involve only the time cost of playing the Admongo online game and/or taking the online advertising literacy test. Participation in the evaluation is voluntary; respondents are drawn from existing pools of internet panelists (i.e., households that have already indicated they are willing and able to take part in internet research), and participants and their parents are free to refuse the invitation to participate in any particular study. All students (or their parents) will be compensated at the standard rate by the market research company that recruits them and runs the experiment. Treatment-group students are expected to be compensated more than controlgroup students due to the former group’s substantially larger time commitment. D.

    As the nation's consumer protection agency, the FTC is responsible 
for enforcing laws that prohibit unfair and deceptive advertising and 
marketing practices. Part of this mission involves educating consumers, 
including young consumers. In April 2010, the FTC launched a youth-
directed multi-media advertising literacy campaign called Admongo and 
distributed accompanying lesson plans to 100,000 educators in every 
U.S. public school with a fifth or sixth grade class. The Admongo

II. Paperwork Reduction Act

    Under the PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501-3521, federal agencies must obtain 
approval (``clearance'') from OMB for each collection of information 
they conduct or sponsor. ``Collection of information'' includes 
disclosure to an agency, third parties, or the public of information by 
or for an agency through identical questions posed to, or identical 
reporting, recordkeeping, or disclosure requirements imposed on, ten or 
more persons. 44 U.S.C. 3502(3)(A). As required by section 
3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, the FTC is providing an opportunity for 
public comment before seeking OMB clearance for the information 
collections presented here.
    The FTC invites comments on: (1) Whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the agency, including whether the information will have practical 
utility; (2) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways 
to minimize the burden of the collection of information.

A. Description of the collection of information and proposed use

    Subject to OMB approval, the FTC will conduct a randomized trial of 
the Admongo online game, involving 800 students, ages 8-12. A market 
research contractor will select students for participation from among 
its existing panelists. Students must have parental permission to 
participate in the evaluation. A randomly selected half of the 
participants will be assigned to a treatment group, and the remaining 
students will be assigned to a control group.
    Treatment students will be instructed to play the Admongo online 
game from their homes for one hour and then to complete an advertising 
literacy test (also online) within the allotted time (20 minutes). To 
ensure that each treatment student's true exposure to the game is 
accurately recorded, her time spent playing (and other measures of her 
performance within the game) will be monitored and logged by the game's 
server. Control students will be instructed to take the test without 
playing the Admongo game. To ensure that control group members do not 
play the game, no mention will be made to these students about the 
existence of Admongo or its connection to the test they are instructed 
to take. To further ensure the integrity of the evaluation, the market 
research company will screen out any panelist who has been exposed to 
Admongo prior to this study.
    Admongo's effect on ad literacy will be estimated from the 
difference in test scores between the control and treatment groups. 
Additional variables measuring demographic, financial, and family 
characteristics of the students, to the extent this information can be 
captured through a screening questionnaire that is administered to 
participants' parents, will increase the precision of the estimate of 
Admongo's impact and also will reveal the influence of these factors on 
ad literacy.
    The sample will be selected to mirror the 8-12 year-old U.S. 
population along a number of observable dimensions. However, because 
participation in the study is voluntary, the sample may suffer from 
selection bias and may not constitute a nationally representative 
sample of 8-12 year-old American children. Therefore, the estimate of 
Admongo's impact, derived from this sample, will not generalize to the 
broader audience of all 8-12 year-old Americans.

B. Estimated Burden Hours

    The proposed evaluation will involve 800 students ages 8-12. The 
half of the sample assigned to the treatment group will play the 
Admongo online game for one hour and then take a 20-minute advertising 
literacy test immediately afterwards. The time burden for the 
treatment-group totals 533 hours. The half of the sample assigned to 
the control group will take the quiz without playing the game. The time 
burden for the control group will be only the time required to take the 
test--133 hours in total. Finally, a parent of each participating 
student will be asked to complete a screening questionnaire, estimated 
to take 5 minutes. The aggregate time burden from the questionnaire 
totals 67 hours. Therefore, the total time burden for all participants 
equals 733 hours.

C. Estimated Costs

    The costs to respondents involve only the time cost of playing the 
Admongo online game and/or taking the online advertising literacy test. 
Participation in the evaluation is voluntary; respondents are drawn 
from existing pools of internet panelists (i.e., households that have 
already indicated they are willing and able to take part in internet 
research), and participants and their parents are free to refuse the 
invitation to participate in any particular study. All students (or 
their parents) will be compensated at the standard rate by the market 
research company that recruits them and runs the experiment. Treatment-
group students are expected to be compensated more than control-group 
students due to the former group's substantially larger time 
commitment.
