SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposed information collection was 
previously published in the Federal Register on December 11, 2020, page 
80123-80124 (85 FR 80123-80124) 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 Eunice Kennedy 
Shriver National Institute for Child Health and Human Development, 
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 at the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute 
for Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), 0925-0701, exp., date 
02/28/2021, REVISION, Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of 
Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), National Institutes of 
Health (NIH).
    Need and Use of Information Collection: This is a request for a 
revision to a generic clearance 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,

[[Page 11548]]

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 key 
informant 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 multi-media materials, 
(2) track outreach experiences of program participants, (3) assess 
training participants' changes in knowledge related to safe infant 
sleep behavior and implementation of learned outreach and education 
methods, and (4) assess program participants' resource needs. The sub-
studies for this generic clearance will be small in 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.
    OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to 
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized 
burden hours are 13,305.
