Proposed Collection: Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health
(PATH) Study--Wave 4 of Data Collection (NIDA)--0925-0664, expiration
date 8/31/2018--REVISION--NIDA, NIH, in partnership with the Food and
Drug Administration (FDA).
Need and Use of Information Collection: This is a revision request
(OMB number 0925-0664, expiration date 8/31/2018) for the Population
Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH) Study to conduct the fourth
wave of data collection. The PATH Study is a large national
longitudinal cohort study on tobacco use behavior and health among the
U.S. household population of adults age 18 and older and youth ages 12
to 17. On an annual basis, the PATH Study conducts interviews with and
collects biospecimens from adults and youth to help inform the
development, implementation, and evaluation of tobacco-product
regulations by FDA in meeting its mission under the Family Smoking
Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (TCA) to regulate tobacco products,
including tobacco-product advertising, labeling, marketing,
constituents, ingredients, and additives. The longitudinal design of
the PATH Study provides it with the capacity to measure and report
within-person changes and between-person differences in tobacco product
use behaviors and health effects within the cohort over time. These
data will help to inform regulatory decisions and actions by FDA
[[Page 22291]]
and FDA's evaluations of associations between its regulations and
tobacco use behaviors and health indicators in the population.
OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized
burden hours are 105,079.
