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'' 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 November 6, 2018 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.
    To request additional information on the proposed project or to 
obtain a copy of the information collection plan and instruments, call 
(404) 639-7570 or send an email to [email protected]. 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 (OMB Control No. 0920-0856, Exp. 
Date 03/31/2019)--Extension--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 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.
    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 will be administered to tobacco users who 
received services from the ASQ only, and is no longer collected from 
other respondents. Seven-month quit rates have been previously 
estimated for all Quitline callers except those that call the ASQ. 
Based on previous literature and a review of the follow-up evaluation 
data previously collected by the NQDW, seven-month quit rates are not 
expected to change significantly over time. 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 (http://www.cdc.gov/statesystem). The estimated annual 
burden hours are 82,477.
