Revision—National Center for Chronic
Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
In 2012, CDC’s Office on Smoking and
Health obtained OMB approval of a
generic clearance that established a
unified information collection
framework for the development of
tobacco-related health messages,
including messages related to CDC’s
ACA-funded tobacco education
campaign (Message Testing for Tobacco
Communication Activities (MTTCA),
OMB No. 0920–0910, exp. 1/31/2015).
The MTTCA clearance was initially
approved with the following estimates:
14,974 annualized responses and 5,775
annualized burden hours. On January 2,
2014, CDC obtained OMB approval to
increase the capacity of the MTTCA
clearance to 36,847 annualized
responses and 7,219 burden hours.
CDC has employed the MTTCA
clearance to collect information about
adult smokers’ and nonsmokers’
attitudes and perceptions, and to pretest draft messages and materials for
clarity, salience, appeal, and
persuasiveness. A variety of information
collection strategies are supported
through this mechanism, including indepth interviews, in-person focus
groups, online focus groups, computerassisted, in-person, or telephone
interviews, and online surveys. CDC
requests OMB approval for each data
collection by submitting a project-
E:\FR\FM\11AUN1.SGM
11AUN1
46830
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 154 / Monday, August 11, 2014 / Notices
specific request that describes project
purpose, use, and methodology.
CDC plans to request OMB approval
to extend the MTTCA clearance, with
changes, for three years. The Revision
information collection request (ICR) will
propose further increases in the
annualized estimated number of
respondents and the annualized
estimated burden hours. These increases
are needed to support CDC’s planned
information collections and to
accommodate additional needs that CDC
may identify during the next three
years. For example, the MTTCA generic
clearance may be used to facilitate the
development of tobacco-related health
communications of interest for CDC’s
collaborative efforts with other federal
partners including, but not limited to,
the Food and Drug Administration
(FDA), the Substance Abuse and Mental
Health Services Administration
(SAMHSA), the National Institutes of
Health (NIH), and the National Cancer
Institute (NCI). At this time the MTTCA
clearance is expected to be sufficient to
test tobacco related messages developed
by CDC. However, the MTTCA
clearance should not replace the need
for additional generic clearance
Finally, there may be a need to test
prevention and cessation messages
related to products that are not currently
regulated, including non-combustible
tobacco products (electronic nicotine
delivery systems such as electronic
cigarettes or e-cigarettes) and some
combustible products (such as cigars/
little cigars and cigarillos). In the event
that the FDA receives authority to
regulate these products and decides to
do a campaign about them, CDC will
work closely with FDA to avoid
duplication. Additionally, CDC will
share with FDA the findings from any
formative work related to the youth
audience.
CDC will continue to use the MTTCA
clearance to develop and test messages
and materials for current and future
phases of the ACA-funded media
campaign, OSH’s ongoing programmatic
initiatives including, but not limited to,
the Media Campaign Resource Center,
reports from the Office of the Surgeon
General, and other communication
efforts and materials. Participation is
voluntary and there are no costs to
respondents other than their time.
mechanisms HHS and other federal
partners may need to test tobacco
messages related to their campaigns and
initiatives.
CDC’s revised MTTCA clearance will
also describe expansion of the target
audience(s) that may be involved in
message testing, such as youth ages 13–
17 years. The 2014 Surgeon General’s
Report concluded that there is already
sufficient evidence to caution youth
against the use of electronic cigarettes.
Tobacco and electronic cigarette
advertising and promotional activities
can prompt smoking initiation,
especially among youth. Recent studies
have found that 90.7% of middle school
students and 92.9% of high school
students have been exposed to protobacco advertisements in stores,
magazines and on the internet. Media
campaigns have been shown to be
effective as part of a comprehensive
tobacco control program to decrease the
initiation of tobacco use among youths
and young adults. A coordinated series
of health message testing activities will
be required to support future
development of effective, audiencespecific and channel-specific messages
for CDC’s ACA-funded campaign.
