SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) 

(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), federal agencies 

must obtain approval from the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for each 

collection of information they conduct 

or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also 

requires federal agencies to provide a 

60-day notice in the Federal Register 

concerning each proposed collection of 

information, including each new 

proposed collection, each proposed 

extension of existing collection of 

information, and each reinstatement of 

previously approved information 

collection before submitting the 

collection to the OMB for approval. To 

comply with this requirement, we are 

publishing this notice of a proposed 

data collection as described below. 

The OMB is particularly interested in 

comments that will help: 

1. Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

2. Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

3. Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; 

4. Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submissions 

of responses; and 

5. Assess information collection costs. 

Proposed Project 

Extended Evaluation of the National 

Tobacco Prevention and Control Public 

Education Campaign (OMB Control No. 

0920–1083, Exp. 03/31/2023)— 

Revision—National Center for Chronic 

Disease Prevention and Health 

Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

In 2012, HHS/CDC launched the 

National Tobacco Prevention and 

Control Public Education Campaign, 

Tips From Former Smokers (Tips) 

campaign. The primary objectives of the 

Tips campaign are to encourage smokers 

to quit smoking and to encourage 

nonsmokers to communicate with 

smokers about the dangers of smoking. 

Tips airs annually in all U.S. media 

markets on broadcast and national cable 

TV as well as other media channels 

including digital video, online display 

and banners, radio, billboards, and other 

formats. Tips ads rely on evidencebased paid media advertising that 

highlights the negative health 

consequences of smoking. Tips primary 

target audience is adult smokers; adult 

nonsmokers constitute the secondary 

audience. Tips paid advertisements are 

aimed at providing motivation and 

support to smokers to quit, with 

information and other resources to 

increase smokers’ chances of success in 

their attempts to quit smoking. A key 

objective for the nonsmoker audience is 

to encourage nonsmokers to 

communicate with smokers they may 

know (including family and friends) 

about the dangers of smoking and to 

encourage them to quit. Tips ads also 

focus on increasing audience’s 

knowledge of smoking-related diseases, 

intentions to quit, and other related 

outcomes. 

The goal of the proposed information 

collection is to evaluate the reach of the 

Tips campaign among intended 

audiences and to examine the 

effectiveness of these efforts in 

impacting specific outcomes that are 

targeted by Tips, including quit 

attempts and intentions to quit among 

smokers, nonsmokers’ communications 

about the dangers of smoking, and 

knowledge of smoking-related diseases 

among both audiences. This will require 

customized surveys that will capture all 

unique messages and components of 

Tips. Information will be collected 

through Web-based surveys to be selfadministered by adults 18 and over on 

computers in the respondent’s home or 

in another convenient location. 

Evaluating the impact of the Tips 

campaign on behavioral outcomes is 

necessary to determine campaign cost 

effectiveness and to allow program 

planning for the most effective 

campaign outcomes. Because Tips 

content changes, it is necessary to 

evaluate each yearly implementation of 

the Tips campaign. 

The proposed information collection 

will include three survey collections per 

year (nine surveys in total) generally 

conducted before, during, and after the 

Tips campaign in each year. Using the 

same methods outlined in the currently 

approved information collection (OMB

Control No. 0920–1083, Exp. 3/31/ 

2023), participants will be recruited 

from two sources: (1) An online 

longitudinal cohort of adult smokers 

and nonsmokers, sampled randomly 

from postal mailing addresses in the 

United States (address-based sample, or 

ABS); and (2) the existing GfK/Ipsos 

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

online surveys, regardless of sample 

source, will be conducted via the GfK/ 

Ipsos KnowledgePanel Web portal for 

self-administered surveys. 

Information collected by these 

surveys include smokers’ and 

nonsmokers’ awareness of and exposure 

to specific Tips advertisements; 

knowledge, attitudes, beliefs related to 

smoking and secondhand smoke; and 

other marketing exposures. 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 Tips 

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. 

The total response burden is 

estimated at 9,308 annual hours. 

Approval is requested for three years 

between early fall 2023 and December 

2026. Participation is voluntary and 

there are no costs to respondents other 

than their time.
