In 2012, CDC/OSH obtained OMB approval
of a generic clearance to support the development of
tobacco-related health messages (Message Testing for Tobacco
Communication Activities (MTTCA), OMB No. 0920-0910). The MTTCA
clearance has been used to obtain OMB approval for a variety of
message testing activities. The MTTCA clearance is due to expire on
March 31, 2018. CDC is requesting OMB approval to extend the
generic MTTCA clearance for three years from the expiration date.
CDC will continue to use the MTTCA clearance to develop and test
messages and materials for current and future phases of the
ACA-funded media campaign, as well as OSH's ongoing programmatic
initiatives including, but not limited to, the Media Campaign
Resource Center, reports from the Office of the Surgeon General,
and other communication efforts and materials. The MTTCA generic
clearance may also be used to facilitate the development of
tobacco-related health communications of interest for CDC
collaborative efforts with other federal partners including, but
not limited to, the Food and Drug Administration, the Substance
Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, the National
Institutes of Health, and the National Cancer Institute. The MTTCA
clearance is sufficient to test tobacco related messages developed
by CDC. No modification is requested for information collection
activities or methodology.
