OMB approval is
provided for sample replenishment as well as data collection for
Wave 4 of the PATH Study. A separate three-year clearance request
will be submitted for subsequent waves, which may focus on selected
subsamples. The revision will describe the response rate and
characteristics of the sample replenishment. NIDA, FDA, and the
PATH Study team will work together with OMB to ensure there is no
duplication in the type of information generated by the PATH Study
and other information collections, such as the recently-approved
collection requests for FDA’s CTP.

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 collecting behavioral data and
biospecimens among a national longitudinal cohort to assess
within-person changes and between-person differences in
tobacco-product use behaviors and related health conditions over
time. Its longitudinal, population-based data will help to enhance
the evidence base that informs FDA’s regulatory actions under the
Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (TCA) to protect
the Nation’s public health and reduce its burden of tobacco-related
morbidity and mortality.
