Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH) Study--3rd Wave (NIDA)

SUMMARY: Under the provisions of Section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has 
submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a request for 
review and approval of the information collection listed below. This 
proposed information collection was previously published in the Federal 
Register on February 11, 2015, pages 7619-7620 and allowed 60-days for 
public comment. One public comment was received. The purpose of this 
notice is to allow an additional 30 days for public comment. The 
National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), 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 
the estimated public burden and associated response time, should be 
directed to the: Office of Management and Budget, Office of Regulatory

    Proposed Collection: Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health 
(PATH) Study--Third Wave of Data Collection--0925-0664--Revision, 
National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), National Institutes of Health 
(NIH), in partnership with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
    Need and Use of Information Collection: This is a revision request 
(OMB 0925-0664, expires 9/30/2016) for the Population Assessment of 
Tobacco and Health (PATH) Study to conduct the third wave of data 
collection. The PATH Study is a national longitudinal cohort study of 
tobacco use behavior and health among the U.S. household population of 
adults age 18 and older and youth ages 12 to 17. The Study conducts 
annual interviews and collects biospecimens from adults to assess 
within-person changes and between-person differences in tobacco-product 
use behaviors and related health conditions over time. Its 
longitudinal, population-based data will help to enhance the evidence 
base that informs FDA's regulatory actions under the Family Smoking 
Prevention and Control Act to protect the Nation's public health and 
reduce its burden of tobacco-related morbidity and mortality.
    OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to 
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized 
burden hours are 54,434.
