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 an
existing 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 (OMB Control No. 0920-1390, Exp. 3/31/2026)--
Extension--National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The 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 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 information collection request (ICR) utilizes a form
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 and
consolidates information necessary for evaluation of the NTCP. The data
collected through the 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
in use to collect data for NTCP, 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 ERT 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 ERT. CDC requests
OMB approval for a period of three years with an estimated 424 annual
burden hours. There is no cost to respondents other than their time.
