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 (NQDW)'' 
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 July 7, 2021 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. Comments and recommendations for the proposed 
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of 
this notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. 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)

publication.

Proposed Project

    National Quitline Data Warehouse (NQDW) (OMB Control No. 0920-0856, 
Exp. 10/31/2022)--Revision--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 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. Additionally, collection of the NQDW Services 
Survey was changed from quarterly to semiannually in 2019.
    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 is administered to tobacco users who received 
services from the ASQ only. 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 
(https://www.cdc.gov/statesystem).
    CDC requests OMB approval to continue the NQDW information 
collection for three years. Fifty states, the District of Columbia, 
Guam, and Puerto Rico continue to receive funding to participate. This 
Revision reflects inclusion of additional measures, including those 
related to e-cigarette use and online quitline services, that reflect 
the impact of new technologies. Adding these measures to the NQDW 
survey instruments will impose minimal additional burden on states but 
will substantially improve the utility of the NQDW data to identify use 
of state quitlines by key tobacco use populations and through 
modalities other than telephone calls.
    Participation in the Caller Intake and Follow-Up Interviews is 
voluntary for quitline callers. The estimated burden is 10 minutes for 
a complete intake call conducted with an individual who calls on their 
own behalf. The estimated burden is one minute for a caller who 
requests information for someone else, as these callers complete only a 
subset of questions on the Intake Questionnaire.
    As a condition of funding (CDC-RFA-DP20-2001), the 54 cooperative 
agreement awardees are required to submit NQDW intake data quarterly, 
and services survey data semiannually. CDC recognizes that awardees 
incur additional burden for preparing and transmitting summary files 
with their de-identified caller intake and follow-up data. This burden 
is acknowledged in the instructions for transmitting the electronic 
data files. There is a net decrease in burden hours, primarily due to 
decreases in the overall number of telephone calls to the quitlines, 
which is estimated to be only partially offset by the use of other 
quitline modalities.
    CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 68,089 annual burden 
hours. There is no cost to respondents other than their time to 
participate.
