OMB approves a
one year pilot study of the original submission. The pilot will
involve 20 communities as opposed to the proposed 80 communities,
and an additional validation component whereby minors are used to
determine merchant compliance with relevant tobacco access laws.
CDC will submit the pilot test to OMB for review before
commencement as an addendum to this package. Prior to the
re-submission of the full study, CDC will evaluate and report on
the results of the pilot study. CDC will also analyze and report on
the representativeness of the selected communities chosen and used
in the Youth Risk Behavior Survey (OMB No. 0920-0258) and proposed
for use in CDC's full study. OMB will use the information to
determine the practical utility and overall quality of CDC's
proposed collection.

information on the relationships between enforcement of minor's

existing Youth Risk Behavior Survey.
