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; 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
Monitoring and Reporting System for
the National Tobacco Control Program—
Reinstatement with Change—National
Center for Chronic Disease Prevention
and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) works with states,
territories, tribal organizations, and the
District of Columbia (collectively
referred to as ‘‘state-based’’ programs) to
develop, implement, manage, and

evaluate tobacco prevention and control
programs. Support and guidance for
these programs have been provided
through cooperative agreement funding
and technical assistance administered
by CDC’s National Center for Chronic
Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion (NCCDPHP). Partnerships
and collaboration with other federal
agencies, nongovernmental
organizations, local communities,
public and private sector organizations,
and major voluntary associations have
been critical to the success of these
efforts. NCCDPHP cooperative
agreements DP15–1509 (National StateBased Tobacco Control Programs) and
DP14–1410PPHF14 (Public Health
Approaches for Ensuring Quitline
Capacity) continue to support efforts
since 1999 to build state health
department infrastructure and capacity
to implement comprehensive tobacco
prevention and control programs.
Through these cooperative agreements,
health departments in all 50 states, the
District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and
Guam are funded to implement
evidence-based environmental, policy,
and systems strategies and activities
designed to reduce tobacco use,
secondhand smoke exposure, tobacco
related disparities and associated
disease, disability, and death.
CDC requests OMB approval to collect
information from the 53 state-based
programs funded under both DP15–1509
and DP14–1410PPHF14. Awardees will
report information about their work
plan objectives, activities,
infrastructure, and performance
measures. Each awardee will submit an
Annual Work Plan Progress Report
using an Excel-based Work Plan Tool.
The estimated burden per response on
each of the abovementioned tools is six
hours for each. Each awardee will also
submit an Annual Performance Measure
report using an Excel-based
Performance Measures tool. The
estimated burden per response for this
tool is five hours. Additionally, each
awardee will submit an Annual Progress
Report (APR) using an Excel-based APR
tool. The estimated burden per response
for the APR tool is 18 hours for each.
Awardees will also submit an Annual
Component Model of Infrastructure
(CMI) using an Excel-based CMI tool,
with an estimated burden per response
of three hours, and an Annual Budget
Progress Report using an Excel-based
Budget Tool, with an estimated burden
per response of five hours. The same
instruments will be used for all
information collection and reporting
throughout the OMB approval period.
Awardees will upload their information

to www.grantssolutions.gov on an
annual basis to satisfy routine
cooperative agreement reporting
requirements.
CDC will use the information
collected to monitor each awardee’s
progress and to identify facilitators and
challenges to program implementation
and achievement of outcomes.
Monitoring allows CDC to determine
whether an awardee is meeting
performance and budget goals and to

the burden of chronic diseases. Finally,
the information collection will allow
CDC to monitor the increased emphasis
on partnerships and programmatic
collaboration, and is expected to reduce
duplication of effort, enhance program
impact and maximize the use of federal
funds. OMB approval is requested for
three years. Participation in the
information collection is required as a
condition of funding. There are no costs
to respondents other than their time.

make adjustments in the type and level
of technical assistance provided to
them, as needed, to support attainment
of their performance measures.
Monitoring and evaluation activities
also allow CDC to provide oversight of
the use of federal funds, and to identify
and disseminate information about
successful prevention and control
strategies implemented by awardees.
These functions are central to
NCCDPHP’s broad mission of reducing
