SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background FDA is announcing the availability of a document entitled ‘‘Revised Preventive Measures to Reduce the Possible Risk of Transmission of Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease and Variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease by Blood and Blood Products; Guidance for Industry.’’ The guidance document provides blood collecting establishments and manufacturers of plasma derivatives with comprehensive recommendations intended to minimize the possible risk of transmission of CJD and vCJD from blood and blood products. The guidance is the latest in a series of guidances addressing the risk of CJD and vCJD transmission by blood and blood products. The guidance amends the 2010 guidance (May 27, 2010; 75 FR 29768) and finalizes the 2012 draft guidance (June 11, 2012; 77 FR 34390) by providing revised labeling recommendations for plasma-derived products, including albumin and products containing plasma-derived albumin. The guidance also provides manufacturers of plasma-derived VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:39 Jan 13, 2016 Jkt 238001 products with recommendations on how to report the labeling changes to FDA under 21 CFR 601.12. Additional changes to the guidance include adding information in the background section relevant to the new labeling recommendations; providing updated information on the global vCJD and Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy epidemics; clarifying the reentry criteria for a donor with a family history of CJD; clarifying the requirements related to biological product deviation reporting; and, updating, adding, and removing certain footnotes and references. FDA received four comments on the 2012 draft guidance, and those comments were considered in the finalization of the draft guidance. This guidance does not address potential changes to the geographic exposure based deferrals for risk of vCJD. FDA discussed such potential changes with its Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies Advisory Committee in June 2015 and intends to address revised recommendations for geographic donor deferrals in future guidance documents. This guidance is being issued consistent with FDA’s good guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The guidance represents the current thinking of FDA on Revised Preventive Measures to Reduce the Possible Risk of Transmission of Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease and Variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease by Blood and Blood Products; Guidance for Industry. It does not establish any rights for any person and is not binding on FDA or the public. You can use an alternative approach if it satisfies the requirements of the applicable statutes and regulations. II. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 This guidance refers to previously approved collections of information found in FDA regulations. These collections of information are subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501– 3520). The collections of information in 21 CFR 601.12 have been approved under OMB control number 0910–0338; the collections of information in 21 CFR 606.100 have been approved under OMB control number 0910–0116; and the collections of information in 21 CFR 600.14 and 606.171 have been approved under OMB control number 0910–0458.

Proposed Collection: Self-affirmation Construct Validity, 0925–NEW, National Cancer Institute (NCI), National Institutes of Health (NIH). Need and Use of Information Collection: This information collection, seeks to refine a theory about how selfcompetence and values play a role in defensive responses to health communications. Although theoretically-driven research has shown that self-affirmation—a process by which individuals reflect on values that are important to them—can improve responses to health and cancer communications, the ‘‘active ingredient’’ (or mechanisms underlying effectiveness) of self-affirmations is unknown. Self-affirmation is a potent means of augmenting the effectiveness of threatening health communications. Individuals tend to be defensive against information suggesting their behavior puts them at risk for disease or negative health. Previous evidence suggests that self-affirmation may reduce defensiveness to threatening health information, increasing openness to the message and resulting in increased disease risk perceptions, disease-related worry, intentions to engage in preventive behavior, and actual behavioral change. Understanding the mechanisms that explain these robust effects would yield evidence important for dissemination, including ways to refine self-affirmation interventions and make them more potent, which could change the ways that public health messages are constructed. This research can inform NCI scientific priorities and investments in self-affirmation research. The results of the information collection will be used to further develop and improve self-affirmation theory. These findings may allow future researchers to develop and test cancer prevention interventions. OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to respondents other than their time.
