Abstract
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as part of its continuing effort to reduce public burden and maximize the utility of government information, invites the general public and other Federal agencies the opportunity to comment on a proposed and/or continuing information collection, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This notice invites comment on an information collection project titled National Quitline Data Warehouse. The National Quitline Data Warehouse (NQDW) collects a core set of information from all U.S. states, the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Asian Smoker's Quitline, regarding what services telephone quitlines offer to tobacco users as well as the number and type of tobacco users who receive services from telephone quitlines.

collection project titled National Quitline Data Warehouse. The
National Quitline Data Warehouse (NQDW) collects a core set of

Puerto Rico, and the Asian Smoker's Quitline, regarding what services
telephone quitlines offer to tobacco users as well as the number and
type of tobacco users who receive services from telephone quitlines.
DATES: CDC must receive written comments on or before September 7,
2021.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. CDC-2021-
0058 by any of the following methods:
<bullet> Federal eRulemaking Portal: <a href="http://Regulations.gov">Regulations.gov</a>. Follow the
instructions for submitting comments.
<bullet> Mail: Jeffrey M. Zirger, Information Collection Review
Office, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1600 Clifton Road

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), Federal agencies must obtain approval from
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of
information they conduct or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also requires
Federal agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of information, including each new
proposed collection, each proposed extension of existing collection of
information, and each reinstatement of previously approved information
collection before submitting the collection to the OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are publishing this notice of a
proposed data collection as described below.
The OMB is particularly interested in comments that will help:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected;
4. Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic
submissions of responses; and
5. Assess information collection costs.
Proposed Project
National Quitline Data Warehouse (OMB Control No. 0920-0856, Exp.
10/31/2022)--Revision--National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention
and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Since 2010, the National Quitline Data Warehouse (NQDW) has
collected a core set of information from the 50 U.S. states, the
District of Columbia, Guam, and Puerto Rico regarding what services
telephone quitlines offer to tobacco users as well as the number and
type of tobacco users who receive services from telephone quitlines.
The data collection was modified in 2015 to collect data from the Asian
Smokers' Quitline (ASQ) in addition to the other 53 states/territories
that provide data, and included five new questions to the NQDW Intake
Questionnaire to help CDC and states tailor quitline services to the
needs of its callers. Additionally, collection of the NQDW Services
Survey was changed from quarterly to semiannually in 2019.
The NQDW provides data on the general smoking population who
contact their state quitlines, but also allows for collections of
information about key subgroups of tobacco users who contact state
quitlines to better support cessation services. Data is collected on
tobacco users who received service from state telephone quitlines from
all funded U.S. states, territories, and the Asian Smokers' Quitline
(ASQ) through the NQDW Intake Questionnaire. The NQDW Seven-month
Follow-up Questionnaire is administered to tobacco users who received
services from the ASQ only. Data on the quitline call volume, number of
tobacco users served, and the services offered by state quitlines will
be provided by state health department personnel who manage the
quitline, or their designee, such as contracted quitline service
providers, using the NQDW Quitline Services Survey. Data collected from
the NQDW is analyzed with simple descriptive data tabulations, and
trends are currently reported online through the CDC State Tobacco
Activities Tracking and Evaluation (STATE) System website. More complex
statistical analyses, including multivariate regression techniques will
be utilized to assess quitline outcomes such as quitline reach, service
utilization, how callers reported hearing about the quitline, and the
effectiveness of quitline promotions and the CDC Tips From Former
Smokers national tobacco education media campaigns on state quitline
call volume, and tobacco users receiving services from state quitlines.
CDC uses the information collected by the NQDW for ongoing monitoring,
reporting, and evaluation related to state quitlines. Select data from
the NQDW are reported online through the CDC's STATE System website
(<a href="http://www.cdc.gov/statesystem">http://www.cdc.gov/statesystem</a>).
CDC requests OMB approval to continue the NQDW information
collection for three years. This Revision reflects inclusion of
additional measures, including those related to e-cigarette use and
online quitline services, that reflect the impact of new
[[Page 35798]]
technologies. Adding these measures to the NQDW survey instruments will
impose minimal additional burden on states but will substantially
improve the utility of the NQDW data to identify use of state quitlines
by key tobacco use populations and through modalities other than
telephone calls. Participation in the caller intake and follow-up
interviews is voluntary for quitline callers. The estimated burden is
10 minutes for a complete intake call conducted with an individual who
calls on their own behalf. The estimated burden is one minute for a
caller who requests information for someone else, as these callers
complete only a subset of questions on the intake questionnaire.
As a condition of funding (CDC-RFA-DP20-2001), the 54 cooperative
agreement awardees are required to submit NQDW intake data quarterly,
and services survey data semiannually. CDC recognizes that awardees
incur additional burden for preparing and transmitting summary files
with their de-identified caller intake and follow-up data. This burden
is acknowledged in the instructions for transmitting the electronic
data files. There is a net decrease in burden hours from the previous
NQDW package estimate. This is primarily due to decreases in the
overall number of telephone calls to the quitlines, which is estimated
to be only partially offset by the use of other quitline modalities.
The total estimated annual Burden Hours for the NQDW are 68,088. There
is no cost to respondents other than their time to participate.
