In 2012, CDC/OSH obtained OMB approval of a generic clearance to support the development of tobacco-related health messages (Message Testing for Tobacco Communication Activities (MTTCA), OMB No. 0920-0910). The MTTCA clearance has been used to obtain OMB approval for a variety of message testing activities. CDC is requesting OMB approval to extend the generic MTTCA clearance for three years.
CDC will continue to use the MTTCA clearance to develop and test messages and materials for current and future phases of the ACA-funded media campaign, as well as OSH's ongoing programmatic initiatives including, but not limited to, the Media Campaign Resource Center, reports from the Office of the Surgeon General, and other communication efforts and materials. The MTTCA generic clearance may also be used to facilitate the development of tobacco-related health communications of interest for CDC collaborative efforts with other federal partners including, but not limited to, the Food and Drug Administration, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, the National Institutes of Health, and the National Cancer Institute. The MTTCA clearance is sufficient to test tobacco related messages developed by CDC. No modification is requested for information collection activities or methodology.
The distribution of CDC’s needs for information collection through screening, surveys, interviews, and focus groups may change over time. The estimated revision is for approval for 60,117 burden hours for three years of approval.
