this notice is to allow an additional 30 days for public comment. The 
National Cancer Institute (NCI), National Institutes of Health, may not 
conduct or sponsor, and the respondent is not required to respond to, 
an information collection that has been extended, revised, or 
implemented on or after October 1, 1995, unless it displays a currently 
valid OMB control number.
    Direct Comments to OMB: Written comments and/or suggestions 
regarding the item(s) contained in this notice, especially regarding

    Proposed Collection: State and Community Tobacco Control Research 
Initiative Evaluation (SCTC), 0925-NEW, National Cancer Institute 
(NCI), National Institutes of Health (NIH).
    Need and Use of Information Collection: The National Cancer 
Institute State and Community Tobacco Control Research Initiative is a 
program within the Tobacco Control Research Branch in the Behavioral 
Research Program of the Division of Cancer Control and Population 
Sciences. The program targets 4 high-priority tobacco control research 
areas at the state and community level in the United States: (1) 
Secondhand smoke policies, (2) Tobacco tax and pricing policies, (3) 
Mass media countermeasures and community and social norms, and (4) 
Tobacco industry practices. The initiative supports innovative research 
to yield rapid and actionable findings for state and community tobacco 
control programs. The purpose of the evaluation is to assess the 
dissemination, implementation, and community collaboration processes of 
the grantees and their respective state and community partners and 
stakeholders. The evaluation will utilize archival grant project data 
and archival data collected from the scientists in the first two years 
of the initiative. The evaluation also will collect new data to: (1) 
Determine relationships, interactions, and connectedness among 
different network partnerships over time and with policy makers; (2) 
assess the utility of research tools, interventions, products, and 
findings from the perspective of key tobacco control stakeholders; and 
(3) determine key indicators for broad adoption of research products. 
Results will address research-to-practice gaps by providing a critical 
window into the process of disseminating evidence-based research tools, 
products, and science findings in community public health settings. 
Intended audiences include staff at NIH Institutes and Centers 
interested in supporting translation/dissemination and implementation 
science.
    OMB approval is requested for one year. There are no costs to 
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized 
burden hours are 112.
