Proposed Data Collection Submitted
for Public Comment and
Recommendations

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 and/or continuing
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 all 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.

SUMMARY:

CDC must receive written
comments on or before September 7,
2021.

DATES:

You may submit comments,
identified by Docket No. CDC–2021–
0058 by any of the following methods:
• Federal eRulemaking Portal:

Collection Review Office, Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention, 1600

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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
National Quitline Data Warehouse
(OMB Control No. 0920–0856, Exp. 10/
31/2022)—Revision—National Center
for Chronic Disease Prevention and
Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), 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 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. Additionally,
collection of the NQDW Services Survey
was changed from quarterly to
semiannually in 2019.
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 is
administered to tobacco users who
received services from the ASQ only.
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).
CDC requests OMB approval to
continue the NQDW information
collection for three years. This Revision
reflects inclusion of additional
measures, including those related to ecigarette use and online quitline
services, that reflect the impact of new

technologies. Adding these measures to
the NQDW survey instruments will
impose minimal additional burden on
states but will substantially improve the
utility of the NQDW data to identify use
of state quitlines by key tobacco use
populations and through modalities
other than telephone calls. Participation
in the caller intake and follow-up
interviews is voluntary for quitline
callers. The estimated burden is 10
minutes for a complete intake call
conducted with an individual who calls

on their own behalf. The estimated
burden is one minute for a caller who
requests information for someone else,
as these callers complete only a subset
of questions on the intake questionnaire.
As a condition of funding (CDC–RFA–
DP20–2001), the 54 cooperative
agreement awardees are required to
submit NQDW intake data quarterly,
and services survey data semiannually.
CDC recognizes that awardees incur
additional burden for preparing and
transmitting summary files with their
de-identified caller intake and follow-up

data. This burden is acknowledged in
the instructions for transmitting the
electronic data files. There is a net
decrease in burden hours from the
previous NQDW package estimate. This
is primarily due to decreases in the
overall number of telephone calls to the
quitlines, which is estimated to be only
partially offset by the use of other
quitline modalities. The total estimated
annual Burden Hours for the NQDW are
68,088. There is no cost to respondents
other than their time to participate.

This notice invites comment on a
proposed information collection project
titled The Muscular Dystrophy
Surveillance, Tracking, and Research
Network (MD STARnet) Muscular
Dystrophy Questionnaire:
Understanding the impact of COVID–19,
flu, pain, fatigue, pregnancy and
infertility, on adults with muscular
dystrophy. The purpose of the proposed
study is to describe the epidemiology of
COVID–19 and flu and the experience
with pain, fatigue, pregnancy, and
infertility for adults living with
muscular dystrophy who are identified
through the Muscular Dystrophy
Surveillance Tracking and Research
Network (MD STARnet). Information
will be used to develop interventions
that improve the lives of people with
muscular dystrophy and their families.
