SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposed information collection was 
previously published in the Federal Register on Monday, August 28, 
2017, page 40776-40777 (82 FR 40776-40777) and allowed 60 days for 
public comment. NICHD received one comment in response to the 60-Day 
Federal Register Notice. The purpose of this notice is to allow an 
additional 30 days for public comment.
    The Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and 
Human Development (NICHD), 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.
    In compliance with 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.
    Proposed Collection: Generic Clearance to Support the Safe to 
Sleep[supreg] Campaign 0925-0701, REINSTATEMENT WITH CHANGE at the 
Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute for Child Health and Human 
Development (NICHD), National Institutes of Health (NIH).
    Need and Use of Information Collection: This is a request to 
reinstate with change a generic clearance that would be used for 
submissions specific to the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute 
of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) Safe to Sleep[supreg] 
(STS) public education campaign. Submissions for the STS campaign will 
be used to assess the understanding and reach of STS campaign materials 
and messages, and to monitor and improve campaign activities such as 
training workshops and overall implementation. The purpose of this 
information collection is to monitor and modify campaign activities, to 
plan future campaign activities, to develop messages and materials, and 
to develop distribution and outreach strategies that are effective at 
communicating their message to bring about the intended response, 
awareness, and/or behavioral change for the target audiences. This 
generic clearance will enable the NICHD to: (1) More efficiently assess 
the implementation of campaign activities; (2) better understand the 
target audiences' knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs toward STS messages 
and materials; (3) better understand how the campaign activities have 
influenced the target audiences' behaviors and practices; and (4) 
monitor and improve activities such as trainings, materials, and 
messages. Having a way to gather feedback on the STS campaign 
activities is critical to assessing the reach and effect of campaign 
efforts. Data collected for the campaign can inform where future STS 
campaign resources can produce the most meaningful results.
    Data collected for the STS campaign generic clearance will be used 
by a number of audiences, including STS campaign staff, NICHD 
leadership, STS campaign collaborators, Federal SUID/SIDS Workgroup 
members, SUID/SIDS stakeholders, clinical and maternal and child health 
professionals. These audiences may use the information collections to: 
(1) Develop new campaign messages, materials, and/or training 
curricula; (2) monitor and improve campaign activities; (3) make 
decisions about campaign activities; (4) inform current campaign 
activities; and (5) inform and/or change practices and behaviors of 
program participants.
    Examples of the types of information collections that could be 
included under this generic clearance include: Focus groups and in-
depth interviews with parents/caregivers and/or health professionals to 
get feedback on distribution and outreach activities, and/or campaign 
messages; and Surveys with parents/caregivers and/or health 
professionals to: (1) Assess the usefulness of the new STS campaign 
materials, including print and on-line materials and a video, (2) track 
outreach experiences of program participants, (3) assess training 
participants' changes in knowledge related to safe infant sleep 
behavior and implementation of outreach methods taught, and (4) assess 
program participants' resource needs.
    The sub-studies for this generic clearance will be small scale, 
designed to obtain results frequently and quickly to guide campaign 
development and implementation, inform campaign direction, and be used 
internally for campaign management purposes. NICHD's current scope and 
capacity for STS generic sub-studies is non-existent and this request 
would fill this gap.
    Changes have been made to the annualized burden hours to reflect 
the anticipated data collections during the next 3 years.
    OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to 
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized 
burden hours are 12,920.
