Proposed Project 

National Adult Tobacco Survey 

(NATS)—New—Office on Smoking and 

Health, National Center for Chronic 

Disease Prevention and Health 

Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

Tobacco use remains the leading 

preventable cause of disease and death 

in the United States. Although the 

prevalence of current smoking among 

adults decreased significantly from 1998 

to 2007 in 44 states, the District of 

Columbia, and Puerto Rico, only one 

State and one territory have met Healthy 

People 2010 targets for reducing adult 

smoking prevalence to 12%, and six 

States have shown no substantial 

changes in prevalence after controlling 

for age, sex, and race/ethnicity. 

CDC proposes to conduct the National 

Adult Tobacco Survey (NATS) in 2009– 

2010 to help evaluate and improve the 

effectiveness of CDC’s National Tobacco 

Control Program (NTCP). The NATS 

will be a one-time, stratified, randomdigit dialed telephone survey of noninstitutionalized adults 18 years of age 

and older. Essential information will be 

collected on key indicators from each of 

the NTCP’s four goal areas: (1) The 

prevention of initiation of tobacco use 

among young people, (2) the elimination 

of nonsmokers’ exposure to secondhand 

smoke, (3) the promotion of quitting 

among adults and young people, and (4) 

the elimination of tobacco-related 

disparities. 

In order to yield results that are 

representative and comparable at both 

national and state levels, information 

will be collected from approximately 

1,863 land-line telephone users in each 

state and the District of Columbia. In 

addition, a total of approximately 3,000 

interviews will be conducted from a 

national sample of cell phone users to 

include the growing population of 

households that rely exclusively on cell 

phones. All interviews will be 

conducted using computer-assisted 

telephone interview (CATI) 

methodology. 

Survey results will be used to develop 

estimates of tobacco use at the national 

level by gender and race/ethnicity and 

to evaluate comprehensive Tobacco 

Control Programs. Study results will 

have significant implications for the 

development of policies and programs 

aimed at preventing or reducing tobacco 

use. There are no costs to respondents 

except their time. The estimated 

annualized burden hours are 38,303.

Proposed Project 

Evaluation of the Effectiveness of the

Extension—National Center for Injury

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 168 / Tuesday, September 1, 2009 / Notices 45215 

Background and Brief Description 

This project seeks a one year 

extension of its OMB PRA clearance for 

data collection. Due to early project 

delays in obtaining clearances for data 

collection, the project was unable to 

start as planned and missed evaluating 

one program cycle, with a program cycle 

running for approximately one year. 

This extension is necessary in order to 

complete the project’s original design of 

evaluating three program cycles of the 

SAIFE program as implemented in the 

State of North Carolina. An extension 

will allow completion of the evaluation 

of the third and final cycle of the 

program. 

This project will use data from inperson interviews, paper and telephone 

surveys to assess the effectiveness of the 

Smoke Alarm Installation and Fire 

Safety Education (SAIFE) program and 

its efficacy in delivering fire safety 

information. The data will be collected 

from a convenience sample of adults 18 

years of age or older who volunteer to 

participate in the SAIFE program. A 

total of 360 households will complete 

the evaluation each year of the data 

collection for a mass total of 1080 

households over the next three years. 

Participants will be asked to complete a 

15-minute survey at two points, once 

immediately before the intervention and 

then 6 months afterwards. The survey 

will assess outcome measures including, 

but not limited to, changes in 

knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, and 

behaviors regarding various aspects of 

fire safety and prevention; changes in 

reported residential fire-related injuries 

and deaths; increased or decreased 

presence of functioning smoke alarms; 

and the costs associated with the SAIFE 

intervention. The evaluation will 

measure these changes across time, 

between groups and within groups, 

among communities that will receive 

the SAIFE intervention. 

CDC programs are currently funded in 

16 States to provide for home 

installation of smoke alarms plus 

general fire safety education in 

households at high risk for fire and fire 

related injury and death. Programs of 

this type are intended to prevent fire 

related injury and mortality, but have 

not been studied scientifically to assess 

their impact on fire-related injury 

outcomes. The proposed study 

represents the first formal effort to 

evaluate the effectiveness and cost 

implications of the SAIFE program as 

implemented in North Carolina. The 

data collected in this study will have 

the potential to inform other smoke 

alarm installation programs, as well as 

indicate future priorities in prevention 

and preparedness for residential 

household fires. The only cost to the 

participant is the time involved to 

complete the surveys. The total 

estimated annualized burden hours are 

251.

Proposed Project 

Evaluation of Pharmacy Syringe 

Access Linked to HIV Testing for 

Injection Drug Users in New York City 

(Pharm-HIV)—New—National Center 

for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and 

TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

HIV continues to be one of the leading 

causes of illness and death in the US, 

among injection drug users who are at 

high risk of acquiring HIV infection. 

HIV testing may not be readily 

accessible to this population in areas 

where they frequent. The New York 

State Legislature established an 

Expanded Syringe Access 

Demonstration Program (ESAP) in 2001 

in New York City. ESAP makes sterile 

syringes available for injection drug 

users through participating pharmacies, 

in order to help reduce the burden of 

HIV. The regular contact between 

pharmacists and their injection-drugusing syringe customers through ESAP 

paves the way for pharmacies to act as 

access points to health and social 

services among IDU customers. The 

expansion of pharmacy services to 

include referrals for injection-drugusing syringe customers is based on the 

successes of ESAP, which provides 

many services beyond syringe exchange. 

The New York Academy of Medicine 

(NYAM) has access to the ESAP list of 

pharmacies. NYAM will identify 12 

ESAP pharmacies in East Harlem, New 

York City that are situated within 

predefined target neighborhoods where 

there are high levels of injection drug 

use. NYAM study staff will screen the 

ESAP pharmacies for eligibility by 

calling down a randomly-ordered list of 

ESAP-registered pharmacies and 

enrolling pharmacies willing to 

participate in this study. NYAM 

anticipates that they will have to contact 

24 ESAP-registered pharmacies in the 

first year of the project (one pharmacy 

staff member at each pharmacy) in order 

to identify the 12 that will participate in 

the study. Recruitment of pharmacies 

will occur only during the first year. 

At the 12 ESAP-registered pharmacies 

that join the study, over a three year 

period, 442 adult (age ≥18 yrs) injectiondrug-using syringe customers will
