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 OMB for approval. To 
comply with this requirement, we are publishing this notice of a 
proposed data collection as described below.
    Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the agency, including whether the information shall have practical 
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; (d) ways to 
minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, 
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other 
forms of information technology; and (e) estimates of capital or start-
up costs and costs of operation, maintenance, and purchase of services 
to provide information. Burden means the total time, effort, or 
financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, 
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This 
includes the time needed to review instructions; to develop, acquire, 
install and utilize technology

and systems for the purpose of collecting, validating and verifying 
information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and 
providing information; to train personnel and to be able to respond to 
a collection of information, to search data sources, to complete and 
review the collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise 
disclose the information.

Proposed Project

    Monitoring and Reporting System for the National Tobacco Control 
Program--New--National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health 
Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) works with 
states, territories, tribal organizations, and the District of Columbia 
(collectively referred to as ``state-based'' programs) to develop, 
implement, manage, and evaluate tobacco prevention and control 
programs. Support and guidance for these programs have been provided 
through cooperative agreement funding and technical assistance 
administered by CDC's National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention 
and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP). Partnerships and collaboration with 
other federal agencies, nongovernmental organizations, local 
communities, public and private sector organizations, and major 
voluntary associations have been critical to the success of these 
efforts.
    NCCDPHP cooperative agreements DP15-1509 (National State-Based 
Tobacco Control Programs) and DP14-1410PPHF14 (Public Health Approaches 
for Ensuring Quitline Capacity) continue to support efforts since 1999 
to build state health department infrastructure and capacity to 
implement comprehensive tobacco prevention and control programs. 
Through these cooperative agreements, health departments in all 50 
states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and Guam are funded to 
implement evidence-based environmental, policy, and systems strategies 
and activities designed to reduce tobacco use, secondhand smoke 
exposure, tobacco-related disparities and associated disease, 
disability, and death.
    CDC plans to request OMB approval to collect information from the 
53 state-based programs funded under both DP15-1509 and DP14-
1410PPHF14. Awardees will report information about their work plan 
objectives, activities, and performance measures. Each awardee will 
submit an Annual Work Plan Progress Report using an Excel-based Work 
Plan Tool. The estimated burden per response is 3 hours for each Annual 
Work Plan Progress report. In addition, each awardee will submit an 
Annual Budget Progress Report using an Excel-based Budget Tool. The 
estimated burden per response is two hours for each Annual Budget 
Progress Report.
    In Year 1, each awardee will have additional burden related to 
initial population of the reporting tools. Initial population of the 
Work Plan Tool is estimated to be 6 hours per response, and initial 
population of the Budget Tool is estimated to be 4 hours per response. 
Initial population of the tools is a one-time activity which is 
annualized over the 3 years of the information collection request. Due 
to annualization, the 53 awardees are represented as 18 awardees (53/3) 
in the burden table. After completing the initial population of the 
tools, pertinent information only needs to be updated for each annual 
report. The same instruments will be used for all information 
collection and reporting.
    Awardees will upload their information to www.grants.gov on an 
annual basis to satisfy routine cooperative agreement reporting 
requirements. Although reporting is required once per year, data entry 
can occur on a real-time basis. As a result, the reporting tools can 
also be used for ongoing program management, and support more 
effective, data-driven technical assistance between NCCDPHP and 
awardees.
    CDC will use the information collected to monitor each awardee's 
progress and to identify facilitators and challenges to program 
implementation and achievement of outcomes. Monitoring allows CDC to 
determine whether an awardee is meeting performance and budget goals 
and to make adjustments in the type and level of technical assistance 
provided to them, as needed, to support attainment of their performance 
measures. Monitoring and evaluation activities also allow CDC to 
provide oversight of the use of federal funds, and to identify and 
disseminate information about successful prevention and control 
strategies implemented by awardees. These functions are central to 
NCCDPHP's broad mission of reducing the burden of chronic diseases. 
Finally, the information collection will allow CDC to monitor the 
increased emphasis on partnerships and programmatic collaboration, and 
is expected to reduce duplication of effort, enhance program impact and 
maximize the use of federal funds.
    OMB approval is requested for three years. Participation in the 
information collection is required as a condition of funding. There are 
no costs to respondents other than their time.
