2010, and January 2011. The TUS-CPS will continue to provide invaluable information for national and state estimates of tobacco use and other tobacco control measures
as part of the continuing need for tobacco control surveillance. In 2006, the National Cancer Institute and the NIH Office of Medical Application of Research sponsored a
State of the Science Conference on Tobacco Use: Prevention, Cessation, and Control. The conference highlighted an array of strategies to address these tobacco use issues.
Ultimately, the conference evoked discussion about “what we need to learn” to further address this problem and emphasized that this future learning depends heavily on

1. PARTIES, PURPOSE AND BACKGROUND
This Interagency agreement (IAA) establishes an agreement between the National Cancer Institute (NCI),
National Institute of Health (NIH) and the U.S. Census Bureau, U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC)
through which the Nd, NIH will provide funds to the Census Bureau to conduct the Next Series of
Tobacco Use Supplements to the Current Population Survey (TUS-CPS) in May 2010, August 2010 and
January 2011 which will provide invaluable information for national and state estimates of tobacco use
and other tobacco control measures as part of the continuing need for tobacco control surveillance. In
2006, the NCI and the NIH Office of Medical Application of Research sponsored a State of the Science
Conference on Tobacco Use: Prevention, Cessation, and Control. The conference highlighted an array of
strategies to address these tobacco use issues. Ultimately, the conference evoked discussion about “what
we need to learn” to further address this problem and emphasized that this future learning depends heavily
on surveillance programs. Public health strategies require continuous need for surveillance; much that is
needed is provided by the TUS-CPS series public use data, and disseminated reports and publications
based on its data.
This survey is part of a continuing series of surveys that were originally fielded by the Census Bureau
periodically over the 1990’s (YOl -CN-00673, Y1-CN-0002-01 and Yl-PC-8002-01) and early 2000’s
(Y1-PC-0020, Yl-PC-lOlO, Y1-PC-4032) and made available for general public use and will be
continuing in the future alternating between a standard or core tobacco use survey and a special topic
survey focusing on emerging adult tobacco control issues. The CDC has been co-sponsoring these series
with the NCI since 2001.

2. DESCRIPTION OF WORK
The Census Bureau will continue the following: 1) Review NCI’ s paper copy of survey instruments and
make recommendations for simplifying code for NCI directed skip patterns as necessary. Work with NCI
to update timeline for project; 2) Develop survey instruments (CAPJJCATI). Instruments should allow as
usual for TUS-CPS at least five household contacts (four call-backs). To maximize overall response rates
especially self-response, if available, use Census Bureau’s newly developed “Contact History Instrument”
(CMI) and any other useful methods from Census Bureau’s vast experience with all its different surveys;
3) Conduct interviewer training and monitoring. Revise previous 2006-07 materials to accommodate
changes in questions and procedures for the 20 10-201 1 instruments and fielding. Make copies of the
NCI Spanish translation of the 2010-2011 TUS and disseminate them to the field for use; 4) Produce
1

sampling statements; 5) Assist NCI in securing of clearances; 6) Conduct full three month field collection
of data in May 2010, August 2010, and January 2011. This year’s work will include preparation and
fielding of May 2010 and August 2010. While the IAA calls for three full months (i.e., 8 panels each
month) of data collection, to reduce respondent burden, we have agreed to give the full TUS instrument to
August panels 1-3 and 5-7. Panels 8 and/or possibly 4, will be given an abbreviated version of the TUS
instrument. The 2010-2011 TUS-CPS abbreviated version’s purpose is to evaluate the validity/reliability
of some concepts being changed in the 2010-2011 TUS so that previous trend data can be calibrated to the
new wording; and; 7) Conduct data handling, processing, and editing. Develop main weights and replicate
weights. Create documentation and data files for NCI and for public users; 8) Provide for further
dissemination of TUS-CPS public use information through Census Bureau’s DataFerrett system. The
Census Bureau will provide to NCI edited data files within 4 months, and corrected edited and weighted
files within 6 months, of fielding each monthly data collection. A more detailed and updated timeline and
specifics will continue to be developed jointly by both the NCI and the Census Bureau shortly after the
contract is signed and executed by both parties.
3. AUTHORITY:
The authority for NCI to enter into this agreement is Title 42 U.S.C. 285a-2(B) (8) of the Public
Health Service Act. The authority for the Census Bureau to enter into this agreement is Title 13
U.S.C. 8(b).

4.

production of final products, those staff members are required to obtain Census Bureau Special Sworn
Status (SSS). They must demonstrate that they have suitable background clearance and they must take
Title 13 Awareness Training.

TRANSFER OF FUNDS

Billing in the amount of $750,000 will be accomplished through the U.S. Treasury’s Intra-Governmental
Payment and Collection system once both parties sign this agreement. Reimbursable billing will be made
to NCI following the effective date of this agreement. Transfer of funds will be by the on-line payment
and collection system. Transfer of funds by the Census Bureau must take place before the end of the fiscal
year (September 2009 for current commitment/obligation). At least quarterly, the parties will reconcile
balances related to revenue and expenses for work performed under the agreement.

For performance of this Agreement, the NCI agrees to provide to the Census Bureau for costs incurred in
the direct performance of the Statement of Work outlined above in Section 1, paragraph 2 of this
Agreement. Total cost of $2,800,000 has been estimated based on the last interagency agreement for the
tobacco use supplements (2006-07), colas, pay and data collection increases and other overheads for the
three categories (preparing for and actual data collection; sampling statements; and processing costs
including questionnaire design and programming the revised questionnaire for CATJJCAPI collection,
testing of instrument accuracy before collection, field representative training and other materials,
computer processing programs for editing and weighting, and creation of microdata files and associated
documentation).
--

NCI has already given the Census Bureau $750,000 in FY ‘07 and $750,000 in FY ‘08.. NCI plans to
provide to the Census Bureau the remaining costs of $1,300,000 as follows:
FY 2009

FY 2010

$750,000

$550,000

Funds currently available in FY ‘09 and allotted to this Agreement are $750,000. While it is the intention
of the NCI to fund this Agreement up to the full amount over the period of performance, the NCI will not
be obligated to reimburse the Census Bureau for costs in excess of periodic allotments, nor will the
Census Bureau be obligated to continue performance in excess of the amounts allotted. It is anticipated
that this agreement will be renewed/amended in FY 2010. Future funding is subject to availability of
funds.
