Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 37 / Wednesday, February 25, 2015 / Notices 10095 

strengthen relationships between public 

health and clinical care. 

These activities will facilitate the 

quick and efficient identification of 

cases in future outbreaks and protect the 

health and safety of patients. This 

request corresponds with an initial 

ongoing data collection (Phase I), State 

Health Department Access to Electronic 

Health Record Data during an Outbreak: 

A Retrospective Assessment, which 

involves interviews with four types of 

Health Department staff: Healthcareassociated infection coordinator, 

epidemiologist, legal counsel, and 

informatics director (OMB Number 

0920–0879, approved on 04/24/2014). 

Phase I data analysis is ongoing. 

For Phase II of this study, we will be 

requesting participation from hospital 

and clinic staff in their official 

capacities across the same 15 states 

included in the Phase I request. The 

states chosen for Phase I and Phase II 

data collections are: Florida, Indiana, 

Kansas, Maryland, Michigan, 

Minnesota, New Hampshire, New 

Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, 

Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia. 

Data will be collected from 150 hospital 

and clinic staff in their official 

capacities using one 30-minute 

telephone interview per person and 

limiting interviews to two hospitals and 

two clinics per state. Hospital 

participants include: Infection 

preventionists, informatics directors, 

and others as referred. Clinic 

participants include: Clinic directors 

and others as referred. 

The focus of this OMB request is to 

conduct interviews with 150 healthcare 

facilities’ staff, hospitals and clinics, in 

their official capacity who has been 

asked by HDs to provide access to their 

EHRs during an HAI outbreak 

investigation. In hospitals, the 

evaluation team will be conducting 

interviews with staff members serving 

in one of three roles: Infection 

preventionist, informatics director, and 

other as referred (e.g. privacy officer, 

risk management, etc.). In clinics, the 

evaluation team will be conducting 

interviews with the clinic director, and 

other as referred (e.g. patient records 

manager, etc.) 

The maximum estimates for burden 

hours are derived from interview guide 

pilot testing and data collection with 

HDs during Phase I data collection, in 

which interviews took 27 minutes. The 

total annual burden is 90 hours. 

The data to be collected do not 

involve questions of a personal or 

sensitive nature and should have no 

impact on the individual’s privacy. 

There are no costs to the respondents 

other than their time.

The Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC), as part of its 

continuing effort to reduce public 

burden and maximize the utility of 

government information, invites the 

general public and other Federal 

agencies to take this opportunity to 

comment on proposed and/or 

continuing information collections, as 

required by the Paperwork Reduction 

Act of 1995. To request more 

information on the below proposed 

project or to obtain a copy of the

Comments submitted in response to 

this notice will be summarized and/or 

included in the request for Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) 

approval. Comments are invited on: (a) 

Whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

agency, including whether the 

information shall have practical utility; 

(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate 

of the burden of the proposed collection 

of information; (c) ways to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; (d) ways to 

minimize the burden of the collection of 

information on respondents, including 

through the use of automated collection 

techniques or other forms of information 

technology; and (e) estimates of capital 

or start-up costs and costs of operation, 

maintenance, and purchase of services

Proposed Project 

Extended Evaluation of the National 

Tobacco Prevention and Control Public 

Education Campaign—New—National 

Center for Chronic Disease Prevention 

and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), 

Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

In 2012, Centers for Disease Control 

and Prevention (CDC) launched the first 

federally funded, national mass media 

campaign to educate consumers about 

the adverse health consequences of 

tobacco use (the National Tobacco 

Prevention and Control Public 

Education Campaign, or ‘‘The 

Campaign’’). The Campaign continued 

in 2013 and 2014 with advertisements 

known as ‘‘Tips from Former Smokers.’’ 

Activities for Phase 3 of the campaign 

are ongoing. To assess the impact of The 

Campaign in Phases 1–3, CDC obtained 

OMB approval to conduct a series of 

longitudinal surveys of smokers and 

nonsmokers (OMB Control Number 

0920–0923, exp. 3/31/2017). 

New media activities for Phases 4 and 

5 of The Campaign are scheduled to 

launch in March 2015. To support 

evaluation of The Campaign through 

Phase 5, CDC plans to field four new 

waves of information collection. The 

surveys will be fielded in English and 

Spanish and will occur during late 

2015, 2016, and early 2017. Once 

enrolled in the first wave of data 

collection, all participants will be recontacted for follow-up at subsequent 

survey waves. 

The sample for the data collection 

will originate from two sources: (1) An 

online longitudinal cohort of smokers 

and nonsmokers, sampled randomly 

from postal mailing addresses in the 

United States (address-based sample, or 

ABS); and (2) the existing GfK 

KnowledgePanel, an established longterm online panel of U.S. adults. The 

ABS-sourced longitudinal cohort will 

consist of smokers and nonsmokers who 

have not previously participated in any 

established online panels to reduce 

potential panel conditioning bias from 

previous participation. The new cohort 

will be recruited by GfK, utilizing 

similar recruitment methods that are 

used in the recruitment of 

KnowledgePanel. The GfK 

KnowledgePanel will be used in 

combination with the new ABS-sourced 

cohort to support larger sample sizes 

that will allow for more in-depth 

subgroup analysis, which is a key 

objective for CDC. All online surveys, 

regardless of sample source, will be 

conducted via the GfK KnowledgePanel 

Web portal for self-administered 

surveys. 

Information will be collected through 

Web surveys to be self-administered on 

computers in the respondents’ homes or 

in another convenient location. 

Information will be collected about 

smokers’ and nonsmokers’ awareness of 

and exposure to specific campaign 

advertisements; knowledge, attitudes, 

beliefs related to smoking and 

secondhand smoke; and other marketing 

exposure. The surveys will also measure 

behaviors related to smoking cessation 

(among the smokers in the sample) and 

behaviors related to nonsmokers’ 

encouragement of smokers to quit 

smoking, recommendations of cessation 

services, and attitudes about other 

tobacco and nicotine products. 

It is important to evaluate The 

Campaign in a context that assesses the 

dynamic nature of tobacco product 

marketing and uptake of various tobacco 

products, particularly since these may 

affect successful cessation rates. Survey 

instruments may be updated to include 

new or revised items on relevant topics, 

including cigars, noncombustible 

tobacco products, and other emerging 

trends in tobacco use. 

OMB approval is requested for two 

years. Participation is voluntary and 

there are no costs to respondents other 

than their time.
