Proposed Data Collection Submitted for Public Comment and 
Recommendations

AGENCY: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Department of 
Health and Human Services (HHS).

ACTION: Notice with comment period.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as part 
of its continuing effort to reduce public burden and maximize the 
utility of government information, invites the general public and other 
Federal agencies the opportunity to comment on a proposed extension to 
information collection, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995. This notice invites comment on an information collection project 
titled ``National Quitline Data Warehouse.'' The National Quitline Data 
Warehouse (NQDW) collects a core set of information from the 50 U.S. 
states, the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Asian 
Smoker's Quitline 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.

DATES: CDC must receive written comments on or before January 7, 2019.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. CDC-2018-
0097 by any of the following methods:
     Federal eRulemaking Portal: Regulations.gov. Follow the 
instructions for submitting comments.
     Mail: Jeffrey M. Zirger, Information Collection Review 
Office, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1600 Clifton Road 
NE, MS-D74, Atlanta, Georgia 30329.
    Instructions: All submissions received must include the agency name 
and Docket Number. CDC will post, without change, all relevant comments 
to Regulations.gov.
    Please note: Submit all comments through the Federal eRulemaking 
portal (regulations.gov) or by U.S. mail to the address listed above.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To request more information on the 
proposed project or to obtain a copy of the information collection plan 
and instruments, contact Jeffrey M. Zirger, Information Collection 
Review Office, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1600 Clifton

omb@cdc.gov.

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 a 
proposed extension to data collection as described below.
    The OMB is particularly interested in comments that will help:
    1. Evaluate whether the 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 data 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; and
    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.
    5. Assess information collection costs.

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, 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

[[Page 55549]]

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 total estimated 
annual Burden Hours for NQDW are 82,477.
