SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposed information collection was 
previously published in the Federal Register on August 16, 2022, (Vol 
87, No. 157, Page 50340) 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 Cancer Institute 
(NCI), National Institutes of Health (NIH), 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 Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) control number.
    In compliance with Section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995, NIH has submitted to 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 11/30/2022, 
EXTENSION, 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 various 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 
maximize 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 six approved 
sub-studies with an approved request of 13,473 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 respondents 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 
13,500.
