SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA)
(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal agencies
must obtain approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for each
collection of information they conduct
or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also
requires Federal agencies to provide a
60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each new
proposed collection, each proposed
extension of existing collection of
information, and each reinstatement of
previously approved information
collection before submitting the
collection to the OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are
publishing this notice of a proposed
data collection as described below.
The OMB is particularly interested in
comments that will help:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
4. Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.
5. Assess information collection costs.

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 currently approved to collect
information needed to plan and tailor
cancer communication campaigns (OMB
No. 0920–0800, expiration date 12/31/
2017), 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
healthcare 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 healthcare
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
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. Participation is voluntary
and there are no costs to respondents
except their time.
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

submission contains no changes to the
actual data collection forms. However,
the number of respondent for the
monthly and annual forms have shifted
from 91 and 58 respectively to 58 and
91, since the 33 New Mexico Counties
only send marriage and divorce
information that is now only captured
in the annual report.

that can be used to develop a discussion guide for each focus group
