The Office of the Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs (ASPA) is collecting information through the COVID-19 Attitudes and Beliefs Survey (CABS) and Monthly Outcome Survey (MOS) to evaluate the impact of the HHS COVID-19 Public Education Campaign. Throughout the duration of the campaign, this information will primarily be used by ASPA to determine whether the campaign is having the intended impact on target audiencesâ knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs as they relate to COVID-19 and targeted preventative behaviors. This will inform an evaluation of the efficacy of the Campaign subsequent changes to Campaign messaging or strategy. The information will also be used to keep key stakeholders informed of the Campaignâs progress. At the conclusion of the Campaign, the information collected in these two outcome evaluation surveys will be used to inform a final cost-benefit analysis.
In accordance with 5 CFR 1320.13, the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) plans to submit an emergency revision request. As a general matter, under sections 1320 (a)(2)(ii) and (2)(iii) of the federal regulations, an emergency processing may be authorized in the occurrence of an unanticipated event and the use of normal clearance procedures is reasonably likely to prevent or disrupt the collection of information. Given the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the nation, the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) has also declared a public health emergency effective January 27, 2020, under section 319 of the Public Health Start Printed Page 75022Service Act (42 U.S.C. 247dâ[1]) and renewed it continually since its issuance.
The information collection request is not a program change (i.e., MOS and CABS); the burden calculation initially submitted only accounted for one year of data collection. This emergency revision increases burden to account for monthly MOS data collection and triannual CABS data collection through the life of the package, expiring in January 2024.
The burden hours was 17,160; we have increased it by 26,140 hours which equals 43,300 total.
