Administration (FDA) and the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Health 
Communication Survey (FDA-NCI)

SUMMARY: In compliance with the requirement of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, for opportunity for public comment 
on proposed data collection projects, the National Cancer Institute 
(NCI), National Institutes of Health (NIH), will publish periodic 
summaries of proposed projects to be submitted to the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval.
    Written comments and/or suggestions from the public and affected

Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the 
proper performance of the function of the agency, including whether the 
information will have practical utility; (2) The accuracy of the 
agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of 
information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions 
used; (3) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and (4) Ways to minimize the burden of the 
collection of information on those who are to respond, including the 
use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other 
technological collection techniques or other forms of information 
technology.
    To Submit Comments and for Further Information: To obtain a copy of 
the data collection plans and instruments, submit comments in writing, 
or request more information on the proposed project contact: Bradford 
W. Hesse, Ph.D., Health Communication and Informatics Research Branch,

call non-toll free number 240-276-6721 or Email your request, including

    Comment Due Date: Comments regarding this information collection 
are best assured of having their full effect if received within 60 days 
of the date of this publication.
    Proposed Collection: Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the 
National Cancer Institute (NCI) Health Communication Survey (FDA-NCI), 
0925-NEW, National Cancer Institute (NCI), National Institutes of 
Health (NIH).
    Need and Use of Information Collection: This partnership between 
NCI and FDA will include assessing the public's knowledge of medical 
devices, communications related to product recalls, nutritional 
supplement labeling, and topics to inform FDA's regulatory authority 
over tobacco, such as risk perceptions about new tobacco products, 
product pack color gradations, perceptions of product harm, and tobacco 
product claims and labels. This NCI-FDA survey will couple knowledge-
related questions with inquiries into the communication channels 
through which understanding is being obtained, and assessment of FDA-
regulated material. This survey will extend the information collected 
and priorities from the Health Information National Trends Survey 
(HINTS) which has been to provide a comprehensive assessment of the 
American public's current access to, and use of, information about 
cancer across the cancer care continuum from cancer prevention, early 
detection, diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship.
    OMB approval is requested for 1 year. There are no costs to 
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized 
burden hours are 2,159.
