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 and/or continuing 

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 all 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 September 7, 

2021. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, 

identified by Docket No. CDC–2021– 

0058 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.

request more information on the 

proposed project or to obtain a copy of 

the information collection plan and

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 

data collection as described below. 

The OMB is particularly interested in 

comments that will help: 

1. 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; 

2. Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed 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; 

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; and 

5. Assess information collection costs. 

Proposed Project 

National Quitline Data Warehouse 

(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 Sevenmonth 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 (http://www.cdc.gov/ 

statesystem). 

CDC requests OMB approval to 

continue the NQDW information 

collection for three years. This Revision 

reflects inclusion of additional 

measures, including those related to ecigarette use and online quitline 

services, that reflect the impact of new 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
35798 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 127 / Wednesday, July 7, 2021 / Notices 

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 from the 

previous NQDW package estimate. This 

is 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. The total estimated 

annual Burden Hours for the NQDW are 

68,088. There is no cost to respondents 

other than their time to participate.
