Communication Survey (FDA-NCI)
SUMMARY: In compliance with the requirement of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, for opportunity for public comment
on proposed data collection projects, the National Cancer Institute

summaries of proposed projects to be submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval.
Written comments and/or suggestions from the public and affected
agencies are invited on one or more of the following points: (1)
Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the
proper performance of the function of the agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility; (2) 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) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (4) Ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who are to respond, including the
use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or other forms of information
technology.

the data collection plans and instruments, submit comments in writing,
or request more information on the proposed project contact: Bradford
W. Hesse, Ph.D., Health Communication and Informatics Research Branch,
9609 Medical Center Drive, MSC 9761, Room 3E610, Rockville, MD 20850 or
call non-toll free number 240-276-6721 or Email your request, including

Comment Due Date: Comments regarding this information collection

Proposed Collection: Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the
National Cancer Institute (NCI) Health Communication Survey (FDA-NCI),
0925-NEW, National Cancer Institute (NCI), National Institutes of
Health (NIH).
Need and Use of Information Collection: This partnership between
NCI and FDA will include assessing the public's knowledge of medical
devices, communications related to product recalls, nutritional
supplement labeling, and topics to inform FDA's regulatory authority
over tobacco, such as risk perceptions about new tobacco products,
product pack color gradations, perceptions of product harm, and tobacco
product claims and labels. This NCI-FDA survey will couple knowledge-
related questions with inquiries into the communication channels
through which understanding is being obtained, and assessment of FDA-
regulated material. This survey will extend the information collected
and priorities from the Health Information National Trends Survey
(HINTS) which has been to provide a comprehensive assessment of the
American public's current access to, and use of, information about
cancer across the cancer care continuum from cancer prevention, early
detection, diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship.
OMB approval is requested for 1 year. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized
burden hours are 2,159.
