SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposed information collection was 
previously published in the Federal Register on April 5, 2019, page 
13670, (Vol 84, No. 66, Page 13670) and allowed 60 days for public 
comment. No public comments were received. The purpose of 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.
    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: A Generic Submission for Formative Research, 
Pretesting and Customer Satisfaction of NCI's Communication and 
Education Resources (NCI), 0925-0046, Expiration Date 07/31/2019, 
REVISION, National Cancer Institute (NCI), National Institutes of 
Health (NIH).
    Need and Use of Information Collection: This information collection 
request is to approve the Generic Submission for Formative Research, 
Pretesting and Customer Satisfaction of NCI's Communication and 
Education Resources (NCI) for three years. As part of NCI's mandate 
from Congress to disseminate information on cancer research, detection, 
prevention, and treatment, the Institute develops a wide variety of 
messages and materials. Testing these messages and materials assesses 
their potential effectiveness in reaching and communicating with their 
intended audience while they are still in the developmental stage and 
can be revised. The formative research and pretesting process thus 
contributes to maximizing NCI's limited dollar resources for 
information dissemination and education. NCI also must ensure the 
relevance, utility, and appropriateness of the many educational 
programs and products that the Institute produces. Customer 
satisfaction studies help NCI identify modifications necessary to meet 
the needs of NCI's various target audiences. Since the previous 
submission, there have been 10 approved sub-studies (and 1 pending) 
with an approved request of 2,426 burden hours over 2.5 years. Approval 
is requested for the conduct of multiple studies annually using such 
methods as interviews, focus groups, and various types of surveys. The 
content, timing, and number of respondents to be included in each sub-
study will vary, depending on the nature of the message/material/
program being assessed, the methodology selected, and the target 
audiences.
    OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to 
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized 
burden hours are 7,200.
