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;
