Information Collection Request Title:
Prevention Communication Formative
Research—Revision—OMB No. 0990–
0281—Office of Disease Prevention and
Health Promotion.
Abstract: The Office of Disease
Prevention and Health Promotion’s
(ODPHP) focus includes developing and
disseminating prevention information to
the public. ODPHP faces increasingly
urgent interest in finding effective ways
to communicate health information to
America’s diverse population. As a
federal government agency, ODPHP
strives to be responsive to the needs of
America’s diverse audiences while
simultaneously serving all Americans
across a range of channels, from print
through new communication
technologies. To carry out its prevention
information efforts, ODPHP is
committed to conducting formative and
usability research to provide guidance
on the development and
implementation of its disease
prevention and health promotion
communication and education efforts.
The information collected will be
used by ODPHP to improve its
communication, products, and services
that support key office activities
including: Healthy People, Dietary
Guidelines for Americans, Physical
Activity Guidelines for Americans,
healthfinder.gov, and increasing health
care quality and patient safety. ODPHP
communicates through its Web sites
(www.healthfinder.gov,
www.HealthyPeople.gov,
www.health.gov) and through other
channels including social media, print
materials, interactive training modules,
and reports.
The primary methods of data
collection will be qualitative and may
include in-depth interviews, focus
groups, web-based surveys, card sorting,
and various forms of usability testing of
materials and interactive tools to assess
the public’s understanding of disease
prevention and health promotion
content, responses to prototype
materials, and barriers to effective use.
The research methods outlined in this
supporting statement have five major
purposes:
1. To obtain useful target audience
information for the formation of
messages and materials
2. To further explore messages and
materials in contexts that would be
most beneficial for target audiences
3. To identify and verify audience
segmentation strategies for
providing disease prevention and
health promotion information
4. To inform the development and
refinement of user-friendly Web
sites and other interactive tools
5. To identify user challenges and
obstacles to accessing health
information to guide Web site,
material, and interactive tool
development and refinement
The program is requesting a 3-year
clearance.
Likely Respondents: Respondents are
likely to be either consumers or health
professionals.

of the consumer and producer response
to menu labeling requirements.
ASPE is requesting comment on the
burden for this study aimed at
understanding the impact that the new
FDA rule on calorie labeling will have
on consumer choice when ordering from
a restaurant. The goal of developing this
activity is to examine consumer and
producer responses to restaurant menu
labeling requirements recently enacted
by the FDA. The participants will
include members of the RAND
American Life Panel (ALP) which
includes participants from several
sources, including the University of
Michigan Monthly Survey, the National
Survey Project cohort, and several
specific recruitment methods to add
specific populations (e.g. active
recruitment for vulnerable populations).

restaurants can utilize presentation
effects on menus and menu boards to
influence consumer perceptions and
choices. By analyzing the consumer

The Office of Medicare Hearings and
Appeals (OMHA), a staff division within
the Office of the Secretary of the U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS), administers the
nationwide Administrative Law Judge
hearing program for Medicare claim,
organization and coverage
determination, and entitlement appeals
under sections 1869, 1155,
1876(c)(5)(B), 1852(g)(5), and 1860D–
4(h) of the Social Security Act (the Act).
OMHA ensures that Medicare
beneficiaries and the providers and
suppliers that furnish items or services
to Medicare beneficiaries, as well as
Medicare Advantage Organizations
(MAOs) and Medicaid State Agencies,
have a fair and impartial forum to
address disagreements with Medicare
coverage and payment determinations
made by Medicare contractors, MAOs,
or Part D Plan Sponsors (PDPSs), and
determinations related to Medicare
eligibility and entitlement, Part B late
enrollment penalty, and income-related
monthly adjustment amounts (IRMAA)

made by the Social Security
Administration (SSA).
The Medicare claim, organization and
coverage determination appeals
processes consist of four levels of
administrative review, and a fifth level
of review with the Federal district
courts after administrative remedies
under HHS regulations have been
exhausted. The first two levels of review
are administered by the Centers for
Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)
and conducted by Medicare contractors
for claim appeals, by MAOs and an
independent review entity for Part C
organization determination appeals, or
by PDPSs and an independent review
entity for Part D coverage determination
appeals. The third level of review is
administered by OMHA and conducted
by Administrative Law Judges. The
fourth level of review is administered by
the HHS Departmental Appeals Board
(DAB) and conducted by the Medicare
Appeals Council. In addition, OMHA
and the DAB administer the second and
third levels of appeal, respectively, for
Medicare eligibility, entitlement, Part B
late enrollment penalty, and IRMAA
reconsiderations made by SSA; a fourth
level of review with the Federal district
courts is available after administrative
