collection of information, including the validity of the methodology
and assumptions used; (c) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of
the information to be collected; (d) Minimize the burden of the

Proposed Project
Monitoring and Reporting System for the National 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
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).
NCCDPHP cooperative agreements DP15-1509 (National State-Based
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.
As part of routine monitoring, assessing progress, and ensuring
accountability, cooperative agreement awardees will report information
about their work plan objectives, activities, and performance measures.
Each awardee will submit an Annual Work Plan Progress Report using an
Excel-
[[Page 47926]]
based Work Plan Tool. The estimated burden per response is three hours
for each Annual Work Plan Progress report. In addition, each awardee
will submit an Annual Budget Progress Report using an Excel-based
Budget Tool. The estimated burden per response is two hours for each
Annual Budget Progress Report.
In Year one, each awardee will have additional burden related to
initial population of the reporting tools. Initial population of the
Work Plan Tool is estimated to be six hours per response, and initial
population of the Budget Tool is estimated to be four hours per
response. Initial population of the tools is a one-time activity which
is annualized over the three years of the information collection
request. Due to annualization, the 53 awardees are represented as 18
awardees (53/3) in the burden table. After completing the initial
population of the tools, pertinent information only needs to be updated
for each annual report. The same instruments will be used for all
information collection and reporting.
Awardees will upload their information to www.grants.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.
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. The total estimated
annualized burden hours are 445.
