Proposed Collection Title: Evaluation of the HHS National Network of Tobacco Cessation Quitlines Initiative. Type of Information Collection Request: New. Need and Use of Information Collection: In February 2004, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services announced plans for a national network of tobacco cessation quitlines to provide all smokers in the United States access to the support and latest information to help them quit. To provide the highest level of assistance to smokers across the country who want to quit, NCI established a new toll-free telephone number (1–800–QUIT–NOW) on November 8, 2004. The aim of the National Network of Tobacco Cessation Quitlines (NNTCQ) initiative (the Initiative) is to strengthen service delivery; provide a mechanism for integration and implementation of state, regional, and national campaigns; and increase healthcare utilization by minority and medically underserved populations. NCI, CDC, and other state, private industry, and partner organizations (the North American Quitline Consortium) have created the PO 00000 Frm 00039 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 infrastructure and a coordinated mechanism to offer cessation services to the American public. The Initiative seeks to enhance existing state-managed quitlines and to encourage the establishment of quitlines in states without them. It is expected that successful implementation of the Initiative will foster partnerships across state quitlines for technology transfer, sharing of effective practices, and understanding patterns of use and reach to special populations, thereby ensuring a sustained level of effectiveness over time. The goal of this evaluation is to monitor the implementation of the Initiative, assess its impact on key stakeholders, and examine its implications for public health. To that end, this study will conduct a series of in-depth key informant telephone interviews and selected site visits with state tobacco control officers, quitline administrators and counseling staff. Representatives of organizations and individuals that partner with quitlines, such as community health organizations or health care providers, will also be interviewed. In addition, interviews will be conducted with Federal agency staff involved with the development and implementation of the Initiative. The findings will provide valuable information concerning the development and implementation of the NNTQC initiative as a potential model for Federal-State partnerships, the impact on building and enhancing state quitline capacity, and implications for the state tobacco control community. The annual reporting burden is presented in exhibit 1, below. Frequency of Response: On occasion. Affected Public: State agencies, businesses or other for-profit, non-profit associations. Type of Respondents: Federal and state employees, health services providers, administrators and researchers. The annual reporting burden is as follows: Estimated Number of Respondents: 266; E:\FR\FM\27JAN1.SGM 27JAN1
