Control Programs, OMB Control No.
0920–0841, Exp. 7/31/2023) to continue
electronic data collection of information
about the NCCCP, funded by the
Comprehensive Cancer Control Branch
of the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC). OMB approval is
requested for three years. This
information collection is authorized by
the Public Health Service Act, section
301, 241(a)
The Comprehensive Cancer Control
Branch administers the NCCCP, which
provides funding to 66 state health
departments and the District of
Columbia, US Territories and Freely
Associated States, Federally Recognized
American Indian Tribes, Tribal
Organizations, Alaska Native
Organizations, and Urban Indian
Organization; or their Bona Fide Agents,
to design, implement, and evaluate
comprehensive cancer control plans to
reduce the burden of cancer locally.
Support for these programs is a
cornerstone of CDC efforts to reduce the
burden of cancer throughout the nation.
Awards to individual applicants are
made for a five-year program period.
Continuation awards for subsequent
budget periods are made on the basis of
satisfactory progress in achieving both
national and program-specific goals and
objectives, as well as the availability of
funds.
In 2022, 66 recipients were selected
for funding for DP22–2202 (‘‘Cancer
Prevention and Control Programs for
State, Territorial, and Tribal
Organizations’’) to implement a program
to support cancer coalition efforts that
leverage resources to plan and
implement evidence-based strategies to
promote the primary prevention of
cancer; support cancer early detection
efforts, address the needs of cancer
survivors; and promote health equity.
Consistent with programmatic changes,
the proposed data collection plan for
DP22–2202 has been redesigned to
increase efficiency by updating existing
and adding new data collection
instruments, which were previously
approved under the current OMB
package (OMB Control No. 0920–0841)
and Generic package (OMB Control No.
0920–0879). This revised data collection
will allow CDC to continue providing
routine feedback to recipients based on
their data submissions, tailor technical
assistance as needed, support program
planning, and assess program outcomes.
Specifically, in this Revision request,
CDC seeks OMB approval to use an
interview and web-based survey to
collect, store, retrieve, share, and report
accurate and timely information to
monitor and evaluate recipient
performance. CDC requests OMB
approval for an estimated 342 annual
burden hours. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time.

for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Since 2012, OMB approval of a
Generic Clearance of Message Testing
for Tobacco Communication Activities
(MTTCA, OMB Control No. 0920–0910),
has been continuously maintained.
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 the attitudes
and perceptions of adults who smoke
and adults who do not smoke, 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 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.
Information collection modes under
the MTTCA clearance that are
supported include 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
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, with changes, for
three years. Requested changes are to
increase the number of respondents and
burden hours and remove the upper age
limit previously 54 years of age, to
include all adults aged 18 years and
older. These changes are needed to
support CDC’s planned information
collections and to accommodate
additional needs that CDC may identify
during the next three years. No
modification is requested for
information collection activities,
methodology, or populations of interest
from the existing Generic Clearance.
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 Center for Tobacco
Products. The MTTCA clearance does
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 is requesting increases to
accommodate planned message testing
needs for the NTEC, the campaign to
encourage educators to speak with
middle and high school students about
the risks of e-cigarettes use, as well as
ad hoc testing activities that may
involve other CDC/ATSDR programs.
CDC will continue to use the MTTCA
clearance to develop and test messages
and materials using data collection
methodologies including online
surveys, in-person or online focus
groups, in-depth interviews, etc.
Electronic data collection methods will
be employed where possible to
minimize COVID–19 and/or other
exposure risk. Any in-person data
collection will be conducted consistent
with current guidance for mitigating the
risk of transmitting COVID–19 and/or
other exposures. Participation is
voluntary and there are no costs to
respondents, other than their time. The
total estimated annualized burden hours
are 20,039.
