through group interviews, and cognitive
interviewing.
For adolescents, data collection
instruments will include questions on
experiences with programs and services
to reduce the risk of HIV and other STD
transmission, and knowledge, attitudes,
behaviors, and skills related to sexual
risk and protective factors on the
individual, interpersonal, and
community levels.
For parents and caregivers, data
collection instruments will include
questions on parents’/caregivers’ (1)
perceptions about programs and
services provided to adolescents; (2)
knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions
about their adolescents’ health risk and
protective behaviors; and (3) parenting
knowledge, attitudes, behaviors, and
skills.
Because this request includes a wide
range of possible data collection
instruments, specific requests will
include items of information to be
collected and copies of data collection
instruments. It is expected that all data
collection instruments will be pilottested, and will be culturally,
developmentally, and age appropriate
for the adolescent populations included.
Similarly, parent data collection
instruments will be pilot-tested, and the
data collection instruments will reflect
the culture, developmental stage, and
age of the parents’ adolescent children.
All data collection procedures will
receive review and approval by an
Institutional Review Board for the
Protection of Human Subjects and
follow appropriate consent and assent
procedures as outlined in the IRBapproved protocols and these will be
described in the individual information
collection requests put forward under
this generic package. Participation of
respondents is voluntary. There is no
cost to the participants other than their
time.
The table below provides the
estimated annualized response burden
for up to 15 individual data collections
under this generic information
collection plan at 57,584 hours. Average
burden per response is based on pilot
testing and timing of quantitative and
qualitative instrument administration
during previous studies. Response times
include the time to read and respond to
consent forms and to read or listen to
instructions.

In accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
has submitted the information
collection request titled Message Testing
for Tobacco Communication Activities
(MTTCA) to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) for review and
approval. CDC previously published a
‘‘Proposed Data Collection Submitted
for Public Comment and

13, 2017 to obtain comments from the
public and affected agencies. CDC did

not receive comments related to the
previous notice. This notice serves to
allow an additional 30 days for public
and affected agency comments. CDC’s
Office on Smoking and Health has used
the MTTCA clearance to support the
development and testing of tobaccorelated health messages, including
messages supporting CDC’s National
Tobacco Education Campaign (NTEC)
called the Tips from Former Smokers®

CDC will accept all comments for this
proposed information collection project.
The Office of Management and Budget
is particularly interested in comments
that:
(a) 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;
(b) Evaluate the accuracy of the
agencies estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
(c) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected;
(d) Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including, through the

Background and Brief Description
In 2012, CDC’s Office on Smoking and
Health obtained OMB approval of a
generic clearance to support the
development and testing of tobaccorelated health messages, including
messages disseminated through
multiple phases of a media campaign
(Message Testing for Tobacco
Communication Activities (MTTCA),
OMB Control Number 0920–0910,
expiration date 1/31/2015). In 2014,
OSH obtained approval for a
modification to the MTTCA clearance
that granted a three-year extension and
an increase in respondents and burden
hours (MTTCA, OMB Control Number
0920–0910, expiration date 3/31/2018).
CDC’s authority to collect information
for public health purposes is provided
by the Public Health Service Act (41
U.S.C. 241) Section 301.
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.
The MTTCA clearance has been used to
obtain OMB approval for a variety of
message testing activities, with
particular emphasis on communications
supporting CDC’s National Tobacco
Education Campaign (NTEC) called the
Tips from Former Smokers® campaign.
This national campaign is designed to
increase public awareness of the health
collaborative efforts with other federal
partners including, but not limited to,
the Food and Drug Administration’s
Center for Tobacco Products. At this
time, the respondents and burden
outlined in the existing MTTCA
clearance are expected to be sufficient to
test tobacco related messages developed
by CDC for the general US population
and subpopulations of interest. The
MTTCA clearance should not replace
the need for additional generic
clearance mechanisms of HHS and other
federal partners that may need to test
tobacco messages related to their
campaigns and initiatives.
The existing MTTCA clearance was
granted approval for a total of 132,648
respondents and 32,994 burden hours
over a three-year period (annualized
number of respondents of 44,216 and
annualized burden hours to 10,998). To
date, there have been 63,475
respondents and 11,737 burden hours
used in this clearance, leaving a balance
of 69,173 respondents and 21,257
burden hours (annualized number of
respondents of 23,057 and annualized
burden hours to 7,085 for each of the
three years in the requested extension).
CDC will continue to use the MTTCA
information collection plan to develop
and test messages and materials.
Participation is voluntary and there are
no costs to respondents, other than their
time.
consequences of tobacco use and
exposure to secondhand smoke. The
MTTCA clearance has also supported
formative research relating to the
development of health messages that are
not specifically associated with the
national campaign.
Information collection modes under
the MTTCA clearance that are
supported include in-depth interviews;
in-person focus groups; online focus
groups; computer-assisted, in-person, or
telephone interviews; and online
surveys. Each project approved under
the MTTCA framework is outlined in a
project-specific Information Collection
Request that describes its purpose and
methodology. Messages developed from
MTTCA data collection have been
disseminated via multiple media
channels including television, radio,
print, out-of-home, and digital formats.
CDC requests OMB approval to extend
the MTTCA clearance, without changes,
for three years. No modification is
requested for information collection
activities, methodology, respondents, or
burden from the existing generic
clearance. The extension is 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
