Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information

mine operators, participating miners,
participating x-ray facilities, and
participating physicians. The
Appalachian Laboratory for
Occupational Safety and Health
(ALOSH), located in Morgantown, WV,
is charged with administration of this
Program. Over the past two years,
participation in the CWXSP has
increased, which is reflected in this
submission for renewal. Physicians
taking the B Reader Examination are
asked to complete a registration form.
There are approximately 300 physicians
each year taking the certification exam.
Miners participating in the CWXSP
must fill out the Miner Identification
Document. Mine operators are required
to file a Mine X-ray Plan with NIOSH
approximately every 3 years.
Approximately 200 mine operators have
X-ray plans that are due for renewal
each year. An X-ray facility that applies
to be a NIOSH-approved facility for
providing miners X-rays must complete
an approval packet. There are
approximately 25 X-ray facilities each
year seeking approval into the CWXSP
Program. There will be no costs to study
participants. The total estimated
annualized burden hours are 2330.

Proposed Project
Formative Evaluation of Adults’ and
Children’s Views Related to Promotion
of Healthy Food Choices—New—
National Center for Chronic Disease
Prevention and Health Promotion
(NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
In Fiscal Year (FY) 2004, Congress
directed the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC) to conduct
formative research on the attitudes of
children and parents regarding nutrition
behavior. Specifically, the conferees’ FY
04 Appropriation Language instructs
CDC to research parents’ and children’s
viewpoints on ‘‘the characteristics of
effective marketing of foods to children
E:\FR\FM\13DEN1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 239 / Thursday, December 13, 2007 / Notices
to promote healthy food choices.’’ Upon
completion, a report detailing CDC’s
findings is to ‘‘be submitted to the
appropriate Committees of jurisdiction
of Congress.’’
In response, CDC has contracted with
the Academy for Educational
Development (AED) to conduct focus
groups to identify key audience
concepts around food choices, and
develop and test concepts and messages
aimed at increasing healthy food
choices among children. For the
research to be useful to Congress and to
the nation’s public health agenda, a
thorough understanding of children at
different developmental stages regarding
their attitudes toward healthy food
choices, and the barriers and
motivations for adopting and sustaining
these choices is essential. Additionally,
a thorough understanding of parents
and caregivers who can influence the
health behaviors of children is
important.
A total of 384 children and 336
parents will be organized into 90 focus
groups (8 respondents per focus group).
The 90 focus groups will be conducted
Participants will be recruited by focus
group facilities utilizing their database
to solicit and screen interested parties.
Both parents and children will
participate in the screening process as
well as focus group participation. It is
expected that two households will be
screened in order to recruit each
participating Parent, Child, or ParentChild dyad. Each focus group will be
asked to respond verbally. The
moderator will utilize a prepared guide
which is designed to specifically ensure
that the discussion is limited to 2 hours.
The focus group moderator will use one
guide for all focus groups involving
children, and a similar but distinct
guide for all focus groups involving
parents or caregivers.
The intent of this research is to solicit
input and feedback from potential
audiences. The information gathered
will be used to develop, refine, and
modify messages and strategies to
increase healthy food choices by
children and parents. There is no cost
to respondents other than their time to
participate in the survey.
in three phases (36 focus groups in
Phase 1, 36 focus groups in Phase 2, and
18 focus groups in Phase 3). The 36
focus groups in Phase 1 will consist of
24 focus groups of ‘‘tweens’’ (children
ages 9–12 years) and 12 focus groups of
their parents or key caregivers. Current
literature and opinion leaders both
strongly suggest that tweens greatly
influence nutritional decisions made by
their parents and younger siblings.
Similarly, the 36 focus groups in Phase
2 will consist of 24 focus groups of
children (ages 5–8 years) and 12 focus
groups of their parents. Although
parents and children may be recruited
as parent-child dyads, parents will
participate in focus groups for parents
only, and children will participate in
focus groups for children only. Phase 3
will consist of 18 focus groups involving
parents or caregivers of children ages 2–
4 years; no children in this age group
will be recruited.
Focus group recruitment will
incorporate appropriate representation
of diverse ethnic groups, and the groups
will be held in several cities to ensure
broad geographic representation.

occupational safety and health (OSH)
concerns specific to pallet
manufacturing and recycling will
motivate owners or managers to take
actions resulting in a safer workplace.
The theoretical basis of the study
follows the Transtheoretical Model
(TTM) of Prochaska and DiClemente
[1984]. This model states that change is
defined by 5 stages: (1) Precontemplation—people are unaware of
problems and are not thinking seriously
about changing within the next 6
months, (2) contemplation—the stage
where people become aware that a
problem exists and intend to take action
within the next 6 months, (3)
preparation—investigating options and
intending to take action in the next 30
