This clearance
is based on the expectation that the survey instrument will be
revised to maintain relevance with emerging tobacco use behaviors
control policies. Developmental testing of new survey content and
incremental improvements to existing wording on the approved
instrument (including dropping/adding of a small proportion of the
questions), in a manner such that the overall content remains
consistent with topics already covered, may be done through
non-substantive changes. Other types of changes may require
revisions. In addition, over the next three years, CDC will conduct
a peer review of the statistical design to determine whether any
aspects need to be refreshed. Before OMB extends approval of the
NYTS past 2018, CDC must brief OMB on how they have responded to
that peer review.
