National Youth Tobacco Surveys (NYTS) 2015 – 2017

(OMB no. 0920-0621; exp. date 01/31/2018)

January 20, 2015

Background

The National Youth Tobacco Survey is conducted annually. The key information collection instrument is a paper and pencil questionnaire, which is administered to a sample of middle school and high school students in the U.S.

On January 16, 2015, OMB approved a Revision ICR that included

1. The 2015 version of the NYTS questionnaire (see Attachment I1, “National Youth Tobacco Survey (NYTS) 2015 Questionnaire”), and

2. A summary of changes to the questionnaire since the last approval (see Attachment I8, “Summary of Questionnaire Changes from 2014 to 2015).

Due to a file transmission error, there is an inaccuracy in the information currently available to the public. A version of the 2015 NYTS instrument dated October 28, 2014 (2014.10.28) was transmitted to OMB and posted on the www.Reginfo.gov web site. This version is out-of-date and does not reflect all updates to instrument content. One attempt to correct the error was unsuccessful.

Action Requested

CDC requests upload of the correct version of the 2015 NYTS questionnaire to www.Reginfo.gov. The correct file version is dated January 12, 2015 (see Attachment I1_2015 NYTS Instrument 2015.01.12). This file replaces the file labeled “Attachment I1_2015 NYTS Instrument 2014.10.28.”

Additional Information

There are no changes to the estimated burden per response or the estimated number of respondents.

Also noted: The file labeled “Attachment I8_Summary of Changes 2015 NYTS 2015.01.12” is correct as posted on www.Reginfo.gov.
