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 ``Evaluation Reporting Template for National
and State Tobacco Control Program'' 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 October 13, 2021 to obtain comments from
the public and affected agencies. CDC did not receive comments related
to the previous notice. This notice serves to allow an additional 30
days for public and affected agency comments.
[[Page 49843]]
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.
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
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 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 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.
Information will be collected electronically using an Excel
spreadsheet tool titled ``Evaluation Reporting Template for National
and State Tobacco Control Program'' (ERT). 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 the Evaluation Reporting Template for
National and State Tobacco Control Program (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 No. 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 inequities and health disparities.
Recipients will use the ERT for National and State Tobacco Control
Program to report information to CDC about their Tobacco Control
Program evaluation findings. Each recipient will submit an Evaluation
Report template annually. OMB approval is requested for three years.
Intended respondents include 53 cooperative agreement recipients. The
estimated burden per response is eight hours for each Annual Evaluation
Report. The total estimated annualized burden is 424 hours.
