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
data collection as described below.
The OMB is particularly interested in
comments that will help:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed
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
proposed 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;
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; and
5. Assess information collection costs.

Proposed Project
Evaluation Reporting Template for
National and State Tobacco Control
Program—New—National Center for
Chronic Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
CDC’s Office on Smoking and Health
(OSH) created the National and State
Tobacco Control Program (NTCP) in
1999 to encourage coordinated, national
efforts to reduce tobacco-related
diseases and deaths. The NTCP provides
funding and technical support to state
and territorial health departments.
NTCP funds 50 states, Washington, DC,
Puerto Rico, and Guam. NTCP-funded
programs are working to eliminate
exposure to secondhand smoke,
promote quitting among adults and

youth, prevent initiation among youth
and young adults, and identify and
eliminate tobacco-related disparities. To
reach these goals, the programs
implement State and Community
Interventions, Mass-Reach Health
Communication Interventions, Tobacco
Use and Dependence Treatment
Interventions, and conduct Surveillance
and evaluation.
This information collection project
supports the NTCP state and territorial
tobacco program managers,
administrators, and evaluators by
specifying which information should be
included in their annual evaluation
reports. Furthermore, the information
collected via this form will allow CDC’s
OSH to monitor and evaluate program
performance; document facilitators and
barriers, lessons learned, and promising
practices; establish processes to support
continuous program improvement and
development; and assess the
effectiveness and outcomes of the
NTCP.
This new information collection
request (ICR) pertains to the form titled
‘‘Evaluation Reporting Template (ERT)
for National and State Tobacco Control
Program.’’ The collection of this
information is part of a federal reporting
requirement for funds received by NTCP
recipients. The information collection
form will consolidate information
necessary for evaluation of the NTCP.
The data collected through ERT was
compared to all other potential
evaluation data sources and designed
not to duplicate any information
collected in other tools. Although other
NTCP data collection tools are currently
in use to collect data for NTCP
(Monitoring and Reporting System for
the National Tobacco Control Program;
OMB Control #: 0920–1097, Exp. 04/30/
2023), these existing data collection
tools are focused on financial and
programmatic management, program
implementation, and performance
measurement. By contrast, the ERT will
collect process and outcome evaluation
findings resulting from individual
evaluations designed by each NTCP
recipient. Findings will include
contextual factors, indicators, lessons
learned, and information about health
equities and health disparities.
Recipients will use the ERT to report
information to CDC about their Tobacco
Control Program evaluation findings.
Each recipient will submit an Annual
Evaluation Report template using the
Microsoft Word-based Evaluation
Reporting Tool.
Current respondents are 53
cooperative agreement recipients. The
estimated burden per response is eight
hours for each Annual Evaluation
