The STLT agency is represented by a STLT entity or delegate with a task to protect and/or improve the public’s health. Information will be used to: (1) assess situational awareness of current public health emergencies; (2) make decisions that affect planning, response and recovery activities of subsequent emergencies; (3) fill CDC and HHS gaps in knowledge of programs and/or STLT governments that will strengthen surveillance, epidemiology, and laboratory science; and (4) improve CDC’s support and technical assistance to states and communities. CDC and HHS will conduct brief data collections, across a range of public health topics related to essential public health services. CDC estimates up to 30 data collections with STLT governmental staff or delegates, and 10 data collections with local/county/city governmental staff or delegates will be conducted on an annual basis. Approximately 95% of these data collections will be web-based and 5% will be conducted via telephone, inperson, or focus groups. CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 54,000 annual burden hours. There are no costs to respondents other than their time to participate. Support (CSTLTS), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description The mission of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is to enhance the health and well-being of all Americans. As part of HHS, CDC conducts critical science and provides health information to people and communities to save lives and protect people from health threats. To this end, CDC and HHS seek to accomplish their mission by collaborating with partners throughout the nation and the world to monitor health, detect and investigate health problems, conduct research to enhance prevention, develop and advocate sound public health policies, implement prevention strategies, promote healthy behaviors, foster safe and healthful environments, and provide leadership and training.

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.

Proposed Project Message Testing for Tobacco Communication Activities (MTTCA) (OMB Control No. 0920–0910, Exp. 01/ 31/2024)—Revision—National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPH), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description CDC has employed the Message Testing for Tobacco Communication Activities (MTTCA, OMB Control No. 0920–0910) clearance since 2012. The MTTCA clearance collects information about attitudes and perceptions among adults who smoke and adults who don’t smoke, and is designed 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 consequences of tobacco use and exposure to secondhand smoke. The MTTCA clearance has also supported formative research relating to the development of health messages for a campaign to encourage educators to speak with middle and high school students about the risks of e-cigarette use and empower them to avoid or quit e-cigarettes. PO 00000 Frm 00028 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 3993 Information collection modes under the MTTCA clearance that are supported include in-person and online in-depth interviews; in-person and online focus groups; and online surveys. Each project approved under the MTTCA framework is outlined in a project specific Generic Information Collection Request (GenIC) 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 for a Revision to the MTTCA clearance, for three years. Requested changes are to increase the number of respondents and burden hours. These adjustments will support data collections among people who smoke and people who do not smoke, including, but not limited to, people who smoke and are members of populations that are disproportionately affected by commercial tobacco (e.g., people from racial and ethnic minority groups, people who are LGBTQ+, people of lower socioeconomic status, etc.), adult influencers of middle and high school students (e.g., educators, parents and health care providers), and youth aged 13–17 years. No modification is requested for information collection activities, methodology, or populations of interest from the existing Generic Clearance. This Revision and requested changes are 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 collaborative efforts with other federal partners including, but not limited to, the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) Center for Tobacco Products. 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. CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 20,039 annualized burden hours. Participation is voluntary and there are no costs to respondents other than their time.

Background and Brief Description

    CDC has employed the Message Testing for Tobacco Communication 
Activities (MTTCA, OMB Control No. 0920-0910) clearance since 2012. The 
MTTCA clearance collects information about attitudes and perceptions 
among adults who smoke and adults who don't smoke, and is designed to

The MTTCA clearance has also supported formative research relating to 
the development of health messages for a campaign to encourage

including, but not limited to, people who smoke and are members of
