Change Request (83-C)


Jul 18, 2017

The Food and Drug Administration is submitting this nonmaterial/non-substantive change request (83-C) to increase the total number of household screening respondents that will be interviewed during the panel recruitment effort.


Overview of the Change Request

To date, we have enrolled 3,830 (95%) of the expected 4,000 panel members. However, our household eligibility rates among young adults age 18-25 have been lower than what was originally estimated. To increase the yield among young adult tobacco users who are being oversampled for the panel, we need to screen additional households in the remaining weeks of panel recruitment. Specifically, we are requesting permission to conduct screening interviews with up to 6,500 additional household respondents. This will increase the total number of household screening respondents from 29,385 to 35,885. The average annual burden hours will increase by 278 hours, from 1,261 to 1,539 hours. An increase in the total sample to be fielded and screened was approved by the Institutional Review Board at RTI International (RTI) on June 30, 2017. We request OMB approval of this modification by July 14, 2017.

Table 1 summarizes the changes made to the Supporting Statement. These include the increase in the maximum number of mail mode participants from 400 to 800 approved by OMB on April 25, 2017.
