The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), as part of its
continuing effort to reduce public
burden, invites the general public and
other Federal agencies to take this
opportunity to comment on proposed
and/or continuing information
collections, as required by the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. To
request more information on the below
proposed project or to obtain a copy of
the information collection plan and
instruments, call 404–639–7570 or send
comments to Leroy Richardson, 1600
Clifton Road, MS–D74, Atlanta, GA
30333 or send an email to omb@cdc.gov.
Comments submitted in response to
this notice will be summarized and/or
included in the request for Office of
Management and Budget (OMB)
approval. Comments are invited on: (a)
Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information shall have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate
of the burden of the proposed collection
of information; (c) ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; (d) ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of
information on respondents, including
through the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology; and (e) estimates of capital
or start-up costs and costs of operation,
maintenance, and purchase of services
to provide information. Burden means
the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to
generate, maintain, retain, disclose or
provide information to or for a Federal
agency. This includes the time needed
to review instructions; to develop,
acquire, install and utilize technology
and systems for the purpose of
collecting, validating and verifying
currently approved to collect
information needed to plan and tailor
cancer communication campaigns (OMB
No. 0920–0800, exp. 11/30/2014), and
seeks OMB approval to extend the
existing generic clearance.
Information collection will involve
focus groups to assess numerous
qualitative dimensions of cancer
prevention and control messages
including, but not limited to, cancer
knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, behavioral
intentions, information needs and
sources, clinical practices (among health
care providers), and compliance with
recommended cancer screening. Insights
gained from the focus groups will assist
in the development and/or refinement
of future campaign messages and
materials. Respondents will include
health care providers as well as
members of the general public.
Communication campaigns and
messages will vary according to the type
of cancer, the qualitative dimensions of
the message described above, and the
type of respondents.
DCPC plans to conduct or sponsor up
to 80 focus groups per year over a threeyear period. An average of 10
respondents will participate in each
focus group discussion. DCPC has
developed a set of example questions
that can be used to develop a discussion
guide for each focus group activity. The
average burden for response for each
focus group will be two hours. DCPC
has also developed a set of example
questions that can be tailored to screen
for targeted groups of respondents. The
average burden per response for
screening and recruitment is three
minutes. A separate information
collection request will be submitted to
OMB for approval of each focus group
activity. The request will describe the
purpose of the activity and include the
customized information collection
instruments.
OMB approval is requested for three
years. There are no changes to
information collection purpose or
methodology. There are minor
reductions in the annualized estimates
for the number of respondents and the
number of burden hours. Participation
is voluntary and there are no costs to
respondents except their time.

Background and Brief Description
The mission of the CDC’s Division of
Cancer Prevention and Control (DCPC)
is to reduce the burden of cancer in the
United States through cancer
prevention, reduction of risk, early
detection, better treatment, and
improved quality of life for cancer
survivors. Toward this end, the DCPC
supports the scientific development and
implementation of various health
communication campaigns with an
emphasis on specific cancer burdens.
This process requires testing of
messages, concepts, and materials prior
to their final development and
dissemination, as described in the
second step of the health
communication process. The health
communication process is a scientific
model developed by the U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services’ National Cancer Institute to
guide sound campaign development.
The communication literature
supports various data collection
methods, one of which is focus groups,
to conduct credible formative, concept,
message, and materials testing. The
purpose of focus groups is to ensure that
the public and other key audiences, like
health professionals, clearly understand
cancer-specific information and
concepts, are motivated to take the
desired action, and do not react
negatively to the messages. CDC is

Background and Brief Description
Tobacco use is the single most
preventable cause of death and disease
in the United States. Tobacco use causes
heart disease and strokes, lung cancer
and many other types of cancer, chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease, lung
disorders, pregnancy problems, sudden
infant death syndrome, gum disease,
and vision problems. Approximately
480,000 Americans die from tobaccorelated illnesses annually, a higher
number of deaths than the combined
total deaths from HIV/AIDS, alcohol
use, cocaine use, heroin use, homicides,
suicides, motor vehicle crashes, and
fires. For every person who dies from
tobacco use, 20 more people suffer with
at least one serious tobacco-related
illness. There are also severe economic
consequences of tobacco use as the U.S.
spends approximately $280 billion
annually in direct medical expenses and

lost productivity attributable to the
effects of tobacco use.
The National Center for Chronic
Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion (NCCDPHP) provides
funding to health departments in States,
territories, and the District of Columbia
to implement and evaluate chronic
disease prevention and control
programs, including tobacco control
programs. Currently, CDC has
cooperative agreements to support
tobacco control programs in all 50 states
and the District of Columbia under FOA
DP14–1415, an extension of FOA DP09–
901. These cooperative agreements
technically ended on March 28, 2014,
however a one-year cost extension
(DP14–1415) was granted. Due to the
cost extension, final reports on awardee
activities are due to CDC approximately
90 days after the end of the funding
period (June 26, 2015).
In order to maintain continuity in
progress reporting through the end of
the cost extension, CDC requests OMB
approval to continue the collection of
information from tobacco control
program awardees for one year.
Awardees will continue to submit semiannual progress reports through a Webbased management information system
(MIS).
CDC will continue to collect
information about each awardee’s
tobacco control objectives, planning,
activities, resources, partnerships,
strategies, and progress toward meeting
objectives. Awardees will use the
information reported through the
electronic MIS to manage and
coordinate their activities and to
improve their efforts. CDC will use the
information reported through the MIS to
document and monitor each awardee’s
progress and to make adjustments, as
needed, in the type and level of
technical assistance provided to them.
The information collection allows CDC
to oversee the use of federal funds, and
identify and disseminate information
about successful tobacco control
strategies implemented by awardees.
CDC also uses the information to
respond to Congressional and
stakeholder inquiries about awardee
