This is a request for OMB to approve a revision for this generic submission for three years. As part of NCI’s mandate from Congress to disseminate information on cancer research, detection, prevention, and treatment, the Institute develops a wide variety of messages and materials. Testing these messages and materials assesses their potential effectiveness in reaching and communicating with their intended audience while they are still in the developmental stage and can be revised.
US Code:
42 USC 285a-2
Name of Law: Public Health Service Act
This information collection request is a revision, due to an increase in the incentives to the respondents, the proposed incentive amount for Physicians has been increased by $50.00, and for Individuals (General Public) by $25.00, a reduction in the number of respondents from 18,000 per year to 9,000 per year, and the Average Time Per Response (in hours) from 12 minutes to 45 minutes, which will increase our Burden Hours from 7,200 to 13,500. As discussed in A.9, the proposed incentive amount increases for Physicians and for Individuals (General Public) will ensure that NCI can attract hard-to-recruit populations to improve response rates, data quality, and motivate respondents to participate.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
