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. CDC is requesting OMB approval to
extend the generic MTTCA clearance for three years. 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.
