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 Youth Tobacco Survey 2024-2026''
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 June 5, 2023 to obtain
comments from the public and affected agencies. CDC received five
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
[[Page 2613]]
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
National Youth Tobacco Survey 2024-2026 (OMB Control No. 0920-0621,
Exp. 1/31/2024)--Revision--National Center for Chronic Disease
Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC)
Background and Brief Description
Tobacco use is the leading cause of preventable disease and death
in the United States, and nearly all tobacco use begins during youth
and young adulthood. A limited number of health risk behaviors,
including tobacco use, account for the overwhelming majority of
immediate and long-term sources of morbidity and mortality. Because
many health risk behaviors are established during adolescence, there is
a critical need for public health programs directed towards youth, and
for information to support these programs.
Since 2004, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
has periodically collected information about tobacco use among
adolescents (National Youth Tobacco Survey (NYTS) 2004, 2006, 2009,
2011-2023 (OMB Control No. 0920-0621, Exp. 01/31/2024). This
surveillance activity builds on previous surveys funded by the American
Legacy Foundation in 1999, 2000, and 2002. At present, the NYTS is the
most comprehensive source of nationally representative tobacco-related
data among students in grades 9-12, moreover, the NYTS is the only
source of such data for students in grades 6-8. The NYTS has provided
national estimates of tobacco use behaviors, information about exposure
to pro- and anti-tobacco influences, and information about tobacco-
related racial and ethnic disparities. Information collected through
the NYTS is used to identify trends over time, to inform the
development of tobacco cessation programs for youth, and to evaluate
the effectiveness of existing interventions and programs.
CDC plans to request OMB approval to conduct additional cycles of
the NYTS in 2024, 2025, and 2026. The survey will be conducted among
nationally representative samples of students attending public and
private schools in grades 6-12. The survey will be digital, web-based,
self-administered, and will be taken on school or personal computers,
tablets, or mobile devices. Information supporting the NYTS also will
be collected from state-, district-, and school-level administrators
and teachers. During the 2024-2026 timeframe, changes will be
incorporated that reflect CDC's ongoing collaboration with FDA and the
need to measure progress toward meeting strategic goals established by
the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act. Information
collection will occur annually and may include a number of new
questions, as well as increased representation of minority youth.
The survey will examine the following topics: Use of e-cigarettes,
cigarettes, cigars, smokeless tobacco, hookahs, roll-your-own
cigarettes, pipes, snus, dissolvable tobacco, bidis, heated tobacco
products, and nicotine pouches; knowledge and attitudes; media and
advertising; access to tobacco products and enforcement of restrictions
on access; secondhand smoke and e-cigarette aerosol exposure; social
determinants of health such as family/household affluence; provision of
school- and community-based interventions, and cessation.
Results of the NYTS will continue to be used to inform and evaluate
the National Comprehensive Tobacco Control Program, provide data to
inform the Department of Health and Human Service's Tobacco Control
Strategic Action Plan, and provide national benchmark data for state-
level Youth Tobacco Surveys. Information collected through the NYTS
also is expected to provide multiple measures and data for monitoring
progress on seven tobacco-related objectives for Healthy People 2030.
CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 22,086 annual burden
hours over each of the next three years. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time to participate.
