Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has submitted the information
collection request titled ``National Quitline Data Warehouse (NQDW)''
to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval.
CDC previously published a ``Proposed Data Collection Submitted for
Public Comment and Recommendations'' notice on July 7, 2021 to obtain
comments from the public and affected agencies. CDC received three
comments related to the previous notice. This notice serves to allow an
additional 30 days for public and affected agency comments.
CDC will accept all comments for this proposed information
collection project. The Office of Management and Budget is particularly
interested in comments that:
(a) 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;
(b) Evaluate the accuracy of the agencies estimate of the burden of
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
(c) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected;
(d) 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 submission of responses; and
(e) Assess information collection costs.
[[Page 43863]]
To request additional information on the proposed project or to
obtain a copy of the information collection plan and instruments, call
(404) 639-7570. Comments and recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of
this notice to <a href="http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain">www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain</a>. Find this particular
information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--
Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function. Direct
written comments and/or suggestions regarding the items contained in
this notice to the Attention: CDC Desk Officer, Office of Management
and Budget, 725 17th Street NW, Washington, DC 20503 or by fax to (202)
395-5806. Provide written comments within 30 days of notice
publication.
Proposed Project
National Quitline Data Warehouse (NQDW) (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="https://www.cdc.gov/statesystem">https://www.cdc.gov/statesystem</a>).
CDC requests OMB approval to continue the NQDW information
collection for three years. Fifty states, the District of Columbia,
Guam, and Puerto Rico continue to receive funding to participate. This
Revision reflects inclusion of additional measures, including those
related to e-cigarette use and online quitline services, that reflect
the impact of new 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, 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.
CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 68,089 annual burden
hours. There is no cost to respondents other than their time to
participate.
