No public comments were received. The purpose of this notice is to allow an additional 30 days for public comment. The National Cancer Institute (NCI), National Institutes of Health, may not conduct or sponsor, and the 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, OIRA_submission@ omb.eop.gov or by fax to 202–395–6974, Attention: NIH Desk Officer. DATES: Comment Due Date: Comments regarding this information collection are best assured of having their full effect if received within 30-days of the date of this publication. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To obtain a copy of the data collection plans and instruments or request more information on the proposed project contact: Gordon Willis, Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences, 9609 Medical Center Drive, Rm 3E358, Bethesda, MD 20892–9762 or call non-toll-free number 240–276–6788 or Email your request, including your address to: willis@mail.nih.gov. Formal requests for additional plans and instruments must be requested in writing. Proposed Collection: Questionnaire Cognitive Interviewing and Pretesting (NCI), 0925–0589, Revision, National Cancer Institute (NCI), National Institutes of Health (NIH). Need and Use of Information Collection: For many surveys and selfreport-based data collection efforts, it is advantageous to the government if development follows a pretesting sequence equivalent to that used at National Center for Health Statistics or the Census Bureau. For example, the Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS: OMB No. 0925–0538) has undergone multiple cycles of cognitive testing to refine both the questionnaire, and supporting materials such as advance letters and brochures. The types of activities covered by this Generic request include: (1) Survey material development and pretesting based on cognitive interviewing methodology and use of focus groups, (2) Research on the cognitive aspects of survey methodology, (3) Research on computer-user interface design for computer-assisted instruments, also known as Usability Testing, (4) Pilot Household interviews are pilot tests (either personal, telephone, or Webbased) conducted with respondents using professional field interviewers; and (5) Formative research that depends on the use of interviewing techniques to develop products such as research priorities, or expert consensus on best practices. Additionally, formative research has been increasingly used to develop new data collection instruments using psychometric procedures, including Computerized Adaptive Testing (CAT). Test-retest reliability testing can also be used as a type of formative research in the development of questionnaires, software applications that depend on self-report, and other measurement instruments. OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 3,600. 3-YEAR ESTIMATED BURDEN HOURS Type of respondents Number of respondents Physicians, Scientists and similar Respondents .............................................

Need and Use of Information Collection: The 2014–15 Tobacco Use Supplement—Current Population DATES: Survey (TUS–CPS) will be conducted by the Census Bureau and is co-sponsored by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Fielded since 1992, most recently in 2010–11, this survey is part of a continuing series of surveys (OMB No. 0925–0368) sponsored by NCI that has been administered triennially as part of the Census Bureau’s and the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ CPS. For the TUS–CPS, data will be collected from the U.S. civilian non-institutionalized population on smoking, other tobacco use, including switching, flavors, dependence, cessation attempts, and policy and social norms. The TUS–CPS has been a key source of national, state, some local-level, and health disparity data on these topics in U.S. households because it uses a large, nationally representative sample. The 2014–15 TUS–CPS is designed to meet both NCI’s and FDA’s goals. The NCI and FDA are co-sponsoring the 2014–15 TUS–CPS through parallel, but separate interagency agreements with the Census Bureau. The NCI is particularly focused on policy information such as home and workplace smoking policies, cigarette price, and impact of these on subsequent purchase and use behavior; and changes in smoking norms and attitudes. The FDA aims to support research to aid the development and evaluation of tobacco product regulations. The research findings generated from this program are expected to provide data to inform FDA regulation of the manufacture, distribution, and marketing of tobacco products to protect public health. A unique feature is the ability to link other social and economic Census Bureau and Bureau of Labor Statistics data, other sponsor-supported supplement data, and the National Longitudinal Mortality Study cancer incidence and causespecific mortality data to the TUS–CPS data. Data will be collected in July 2014, January 2015, and May 2015 from about 255,000 respondents. OMB approval is requested for 2 years. There are no costs to respondents other than their time.

    Proposed Collection: Next Series of Tobacco Use Supplements to the 
Current Population Survey (TUS-CPS), 0925-0368, Reinstatement with 
Change, National Cancer Institute (NCI), National Institutes of Health

    Need and Use of Information Collection: The 2014-15 Tobacco Use 
Supplement--Current Population Survey (TUS-CPS) will be conducted by 
the Census Bureau and is co-sponsored by the National Cancer Institute 
(NCI) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Fielded since 1992, 
most recently in 2010-11, this survey is part of a continuing series of 
surveys (OMB No. 0925-0368) sponsored by NCI that has been administered 
triennially as part of the Census Bureau's and the Bureau of Labor 
Statistics' CPS. For the TUS-CPS, data will be collected from the U.S. 
civilian non-institutionalized population on smoking, other tobacco 
use, including switching, flavors, dependence, cessation attempts, and 
policy and social norms. The TUS-CPS has been a key source of national,

U.S. households because it uses a large, nationally representative 
sample. The 2014-15 TUS-CPS is designed to meet both NCI's and FDA's 
goals. The NCI and FDA are co-sponsoring the 2014-15 TUS-CPS through 
parallel, but separate interagency agreements with the Census Bureau. 
The NCI is particularly focused on policy information such as home and 
workplace smoking policies, cigarette price, and impact of these on

attitudes. The FDA aims to support research to aid the development and 
evaluation of tobacco product regulations. The research findings

July 2014, January 2015, and May 2015 from about 255,000 respondents.
    OMB approval is requested for 2 years. There are no costs to

burden hours are 12,750.
