information collection requests under 

review by the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) in compliance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 

Chapter 35). To request a copy of these 

requests, call the CDC Reports Clearance 

Officer at (404) 639–4766 or send an email to omb@cdc.gov. Send written

Proposed Project 

Focus Group Testing to Effectively 

Plan and Tailor Cancer Prevention and 

Control Communication Campaigns—

New—Division of Cancer Prevention 

and Control (DCPC), National Center for 

Chronic Disease Prevention and Health 

Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

The mission of CDC’s Division of 

Cancer Prevention and Control (DCPC) 

is to reduce the burden of cancer in the 

United States through cancer 

prevention, reduction of risk, early 

detection, better treatment, and 

improved quality of life for cancer 

survivors. Toward this end, DCPC 

supports the scientific development, 

implementation, and evaluation of 

various health communication 

campaigns with an emphasis on specific 

cancer burdens. This process requires 

testing of messages, concepts, and 

materials prior to their final 

development and dissemination. 

CDC requests OMB approval of a 

generic information collection request to 

develop and test cancer prevention and 

control messages, including, but not 

limited to, colorectal and gynecologic 

cancers. Because communication 

campaigns will vary according to the 

type of cancer, qualitative dimensions of 

the message, and the type of 

respondents, DCPC has developed a 

reference set of questions that can be 

tailored for use in a variety of focus 

group-based information collections. 

The discussion guide for each focus 

group will be drawn from the reference 

set of pre-approved questions. 

Insights gained from the focus groups 

will assist in the development and/or 

refinement of messages and materials to 

ensure that the general public and other 

key audiences clearly understand the 

messages and are motivated to adopt the 

desired action. Screening information 

will be collected from potential 

respondents in order to identify those 

who represent key audiences for 

specific messages. 

The average burden for participating 

in a focus group discussion will be two 

hours. Over a three-year period, DCPC 

will conduct or sponsor up to 72 focus 

groups per year with an average of 12 

respondents each. There are no costs to 

respondents except their time. The total 

estimated annualized burden hours are 

1,814.

Proposed Project 

Statements in Support of Application 

of Waiver of Inadmissibility (0920–

0006)—Extension—National Center for 

Preparedness, Detection, and Control of 

Infectious Diseases (NCPDCID), Centers 

for Disease Control and Prevention 

(CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

Section 212(a)(1) of the Immigration 

and Nationality Act states that aliens 

with specific health related conditions 

are ineligible for admission into the 

United States. The Attorney General 

may waive application of this 

inadmissibility on health-related 

grounds if an application for waiver is 

filed and approved by the consular 

office considering the application for 

visa. CDC uses this application 

primarily to collect information to 

establish and maintain records of waiver 

applicants in order to notify the U.S. 

Citizenship and Immigration Services 

when terms, conditions and controls 

imposed by waiver are not met. CDC is 

requesting approval from OMB to 

collect this data for another 3 years. 

There are no costs to respondents except 

their time to complete the application. 

The annualized burden for this data 

collection is 167 hours.
