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 ``Extended Evaluation of the National Tobacco 
Prevention and Control Public Education Campaign'' 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 June 2, 2022 to obtain comments from the 
public and affected agencies. CDC received two 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. Comments and recommendations for the proposed 
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of 
this notice to <a href="http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain">www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain</a>. Find this particular 
information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--
Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function. Direct 
written comments and/or suggestions regarding the items contained in 
this notice to the Attention: CDC Desk Officer, Office of Management 
and Budget, 725 17th Street NW, Washington, DC 20503 or by fax to (202) 
395-5806. Provide written comments within 30 days of notice 
publication.

Proposed Project

    Extended Evaluation of the National Tobacco Prevention and Control 
Public Education Campaign (OMB Control No. 0920-1083, Exp. 3/31/2023)--
Revision--National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health 
Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    In 2012, HHS/CDC launched the National Tobacco Prevention and 
Control Public Education Campaign (Tips). The primary objectives of 
Tips are to encourage smokers to quit smoking and to encourage 
nonsmokers to communicate with smokers about the dangers of smoking. 
Tips airs annually in all U.S. media markets on broadcast and national 
cable TV as well as other media channels including digital video, 
online display and banners, radio, billboards, and other formats. Tips 
ads rely on evidence-based paid media advertising that highlights the 
negative health consequences of smoking. Tips' primary target audience 
is adult smokers; adult nonsmokers constitute the secondary audience. 
Tips paid advertisements are aimed at providing motivation and support 
to smokers to quit, with information and other resources to increase 
smokers' chances of success in their attempts to quit smoking. A key 
objective for the nonsmoker audience is to encourage nonsmokers to 
communicate with smokers they may know (including family and friends) 
about the dangers of smoking and to encourage them to quit. Tips ads 
also focus on increasing audience's knowledge of smoking-related 
diseases, intentions to quit, and other related outcomes.
    The goal of the proposed information collection is to evaluate the 
reach of Tips among intended audiences and to examine the effectiveness 
of these efforts in impacting specific outcomes that are targeted by 
Tips, including quit attempts and intentions to quit among smokers, 
nonsmokers' communications about the dangers of smoking, and knowledge 
of smoking-related diseases among both audiences. This will require 
customized surveys that will capture all unique messages and components 
of Tips. Information will be collected through Web surveys to be self-
administered by adults 18 and over on computers in the respondent's 
home or in another convenient location. Evaluating Tips' impact on 
behavioral outcomes is necessary to determine campaign cost 
effectiveness and to allow program planning for the most effective 
campaign outcomes. Because Tips content changes, it is necessary to 
evaluate each yearly implementation of Tips.
    The proposed information collection will include three survey 
collections per year (nine surveys in total) generally conducted 
before, during, and after Tips in each year. Using the same methods 
outlined in the currently approved information collection (OMB Control 
No. 0920-1083, Exp. 3/31/2023), participants will be recruited from two 
sources: (1) an online longitudinal cohort of adult smokers and 
nonsmokers, sampled randomly from postal mailing addresses in the 
United States (address-based sample, or ABS); and (2) the existing 
Ipsos KnowledgePanel, an established long-term online panel of U.S. 
adults. All online surveys, regardless of sample source, will be 
conducted via the GfK/Ipsos KnowledgePanel Web portal for self-
administered surveys.
    Information will be collected about smokers' and nonsmokers' 
awareness of and exposure to specific Tips advertisements; knowledge, 
attitudes, beliefs related to smoking and secondhand smoke; and other 
marketing exposure. The surveys will also measure behaviors related to 
smoking cessation (among the smokers in the sample) and behaviors 
related to nonsmokers' encouragement of smokers to quit smoking, 
recommendations of cessation services, and attitudes about other 
tobacco and nicotine products.
    It is important to evaluate Tips in a context that assesses the 
dynamic nature of tobacco product marketing and uptake of various 
tobacco products, particularly since these may affect successful 
cessation rates. Survey instruments may be updated to include new or 
revised items on relevant topics, including cigars, noncombustible 
tobacco products, and other emerging trends in tobacco use.

    The total response burden is estimated at 27,924 hours over three 
years between summer 2023 and December 2025. The total annualized 
burden hours during this period are estimated at 9,308. Participation 
is voluntary and there are no costs to respondents other than their 
time.
