Proposed Data Collection Submitted
for Public Comment and
Recommendations
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), Department of Health
and Human Services (HHS).
ACTION: Notice with comment period.
AGENCY:

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 extension to 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
the 50 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 January 7, 2019.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments,
identified by Docket No. CDC–2018–
0097 by any of the following methods:

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
extension to data collection as described
below.
The OMB is particularly interested in
comments that will help:
1. Evaluate whether the 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
data 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; and
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.
5. Assess information collection costs.
Proposed Project
National Quitline Data Warehouse
(OMB Control No. 0920–0856, Exp. Date
03/31/2019)—Extension—National
Center for Chronic Disease Prevention
and Health Promotion, 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 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.
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 will be
administered to tobacco users who
received services from the ASQ only,
and is no longer collected from other

respondents. Seven-month quit rates
have been previously estimated for all
Quitline callers except those that call
the ASQ. Based on previous literature
and a review of the follow-up evaluation
data previously collected by the NQDW,
seven-month quit rates are not expected
to change significantly over time. 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). The total
estimated annual Burden Hours for
NQDW are 82,477.
