Recommendations
AGENCY: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS).
ACTION: Notice with comment period.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: 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 a proposed
information collection project titled ``Evaluation Reporting Template
for National and State Tobacco Control Program.'' This data collection
project supports the evaluation of CDC-RFA-DP20-2001: The National and
State Tobacco Control Program.
DATES: CDC must receive written comments on or before December 13,
2021.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. CDC-2021-
0108 by any of the following methods:
<bullet> Federal eRulemaking Portal: <a href="http://Regulations.gov">Regulations.gov</a>. Follow the
instructions for submitting comments.

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
Evaluation Reporting Template for National and State Tobacco
Control Program--New--National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention
and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
CDC's Office on Smoking and Health (OSH) created the National and
State Tobacco Control Program (NTCP) in 1999 to encourage coordinated,
national efforts to reduce tobacco-related diseases and deaths. The
NTCP provides funding and technical support to state and territorial
health departments. NTCP funds 50 states, Washington, DC, Puerto Rico,
and Guam. NTCP-funded programs are working to eliminate exposure to
secondhand smoke, promote quitting among adults and youth, prevent
initiation among youth and young adults, and identify and eliminate
tobacco-related disparities. To reach these goals, the programs
implement State and Community Interventions, Mass-Reach Health
Communication Interventions, Tobacco Use and Dependence Treatment
Interventions, and conduct Surveillance and evaluation.
This information collection project supports the NTCP state and
territorial tobacco program managers, administrators, and evaluators by
specifying which information should be included in their annual
evaluation reports. Furthermore, the information collected via this
form will allow CDC's OSH to monitor and evaluate program performance;
document facilitators and barriers, lessons learned, and promising
practices; establish processes to support continuous program
improvement and development; and assess the effectiveness and outcomes
of the NTCP.
This new information collection request (ICR) pertains to the form
titled ``Evaluation Reporting Template (ERT) for National and State
Tobacco Control Program.'' The collection of this information is part
of a federal reporting requirement for funds received by NTCP
recipients. The information collection form will consolidate
information necessary for evaluation of the NTCP. The data collected
through ERT was compared to all other potential evaluation data sources
and designed not to duplicate any information collected in other tools.
Although other NTCP data collection tools are currently in use to
collect data for NTCP (Monitoring and Reporting System for the National
Tobacco Control Program; OMB Control #: 0920-1097, Exp. 04/30/2023),
these existing data collection tools are focused on financial and
programmatic management, program implementation, and performance
measurement. By contrast, the ERT will collect process and outcome
evaluation findings resulting from individual evaluations designed by
each NTCP recipient. Findings will include contextual factors,
indicators, lessons learned, and information about health equities and
health disparities. Recipients will use the ERT to report information
to CDC about their Tobacco Control Program evaluation findings. Each
recipient will submit an Annual Evaluation Report template using the
Microsoft Word-based Evaluation Reporting Tool.
Current respondents are 53 cooperative agreement recipients. The
estimated burden per response is eight hours for each Annual Evaluation
[[Page 56955]]
Report. Over the three-year period of this information collection
request, the total estimated annualized burden for the current 53
current recipients is 424 hours. A three-year approval period is
requested for the proposed collection.
