Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork
Reduction Act Review
In accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
has submitted the information
collection request titled Focus Group
Testing to Effectively Plan and Tailor
Cancer Prevention and Control
Communication Campaigns to the Office
of Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and approval. CDC previously
published a ‘‘Proposed Data Collection
Submitted for Public Comment and
Recommendations’’ notice on December
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 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
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses; and
(e) Assess information collection
costs.
To request additional information on
the proposed project or to obtain a copy
of the information collection plan and
instruments, call (404) 639–7570 or
send an email to omb@cdc.gov. Direct
written comments and/or suggestions

Background and Brief Description
CDC requests a reinstatement of the
information collection with OMB
Control Number 0920–0800. 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, exp. 12/31/2017), and
seeks OMB approval to reinstate this
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
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 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. Annual estimated Burden
Hours are 1,680. Participation is
voluntary and there are no costs to
respondents except their time.
