Download as PDF 10259 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 39 / Monday, February 29, 2016 / Notices survey, respondents will be randomly assigned to view one of two ads for fictional prescription drugs intended to treat high cholesterol. They will be asked questions about FDA’s authority regarding specific claims within the ad. The survey will include a debriefing to inform respondents that the advertised drug was fictitious. We will also measure other potentially important nonresponse. We will examine the frequencies for survey items and the relation between survey items and demographic and health characteristics. We also plan to compare responses between this survey and FDA’s 2002 survey for repeated items. FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as follows: characteristics such as demographics, insurance coverage, and prescription drug use. The survey is available upon request. We will test for any differences between modes (online versus mail survey) and will account for any mode effects in our analyses. We will weigh the data to account for different probability of selection and TABLE 1—ESTIMATED ANNUAL REPORTING BURDEN 1 Number of respondents Activity Number of responses per respondent Total annual responses Average burden per response Total hours Pilot Study Survey invitation letter ..........................................
