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 September 30, 2025 to obtain comments from
the public and affected agencies. CDC received one comment 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.
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)

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 National and State Tobacco Control Program (NTCP) was created
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 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) pertains to the 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.
The information collection form consolidates 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. 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 Evaluation Reporting Template 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. Intended respondents
include 53 cooperative agreement recipients. The estimated burden per
response is eight hours for each Annual Evaluation Report and the total
estimated annualized burden is 424 hours. CDC requests a three-year
approval.
