NIH will submit
individual collections under this generic clearance to OMB. OMB
will strive to provide feedback on the individual collections
within ten working days, whenever possible, as is currently the
case. Standard remuneration of respondents for cognitive testing is
$40.00. Higher remunerations may be requested with justification
for difficult recruitments, focus groups, etc. If the OIRA desk
officer is given a 'heads up' regarding the content and timing of a
submittal for a generic IC, she/he will try to approve each request
in less than 21 calendar days

This request is for cognitive
interviewing and testing of instrumentation and materials
associated with the NIH/FDA study called PATH. PATH is designed to
establish a population-based framework to monitor the behavioral
and health impacts of smoking prevention programs. This generic
clearance is designed to inform the development of the
instrumentation for the PATH study's baseline and follow-up waves
of data and biospecimens collection. Cognitive testing will help to
ensure that their design and content are valid and meet the PATH
study's objectives. Additionally, results from cognitive testing
will inform the feasibility (scientific robustness), acceptability
(burden to participants and study logistics) and cost of the
information collection to help minimize its estimated cost and
public burden. The study will use descriptive methods in
analysis.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
