Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 115 / Thursday, June 15, 2006 / Notices
causes more than 430,000 deaths in the
nation, costing approximately $50–70
billion in medical expenses alone. The
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention’s (CDC) Office on Smoking
and Health (OSH) provides funding to
state and territory health departments to
develop, implement and evaluate
comprehensive Tobacco Control
Programs (TCPs) based on CDC
guidelines provided in Best Practices for
Comprehensive Tobacco Control
Programs—August 1999 (Atlanta, GA.,
HHS) and Key Outcome Indicators for
Evaluating Comprehensive Tobacco
Control Programs—May 2005 (Atlanta,
GA., HHS). TCPs are population-based
public health programs that are
designed to implement and evaluate
public health prevention and control
strategies, such as: (1) Reduce disease,
disability and death related to tobacco
use, and (2) reach those communities
most impacted by the burden of tobacco
use (e.g., racial/ethnic populations, rural
dwellers, the economically
disadvantaged, etc.). Support for these
programs is the cornerstone of OSH’s
strategy for reducing the burden of
tobacco use throughout the nation.
Funding recipients are required to
submit progress reports twice yearly to
CDC. These reports are used by both the
Procurement and Grants Office (PGO)
and OSH managers and project officers
for the following purposes: To monitor
program compliance; assess relative
value and anticipated efficacy of
proposed future efforts; identify training
and technical assistance needs; monitor
compliance with cooperative agreement
requirements; evaluate the progress
made in achieving national and
program-specific goals; and respond to
inquiries regarding program activities
and effectiveness. Cooperative
Agreement recipients submit this
information, along with annual action
plans with associated budgets, to CDC/
OSH through the on-line system known
as the Chronicle.
Using a standardized format based on
OSH’s program framework, the
Chronicle enables grantees to describe
their CDC-funded program activities,
expected outcomes, and report on
progress. By collecting and housing this
information within a searchable
database, OSH can draw upon the stateprovided information to effectively
fulfill its cooperative agreement
obligations. Namely to monitor, evaluate
and compare individual programs,
provide technical assistance to increase
the efficacy of state-driven initiatives,
and to assess and report aggregate
information regarding the overall
effectiveness of the National Tobacco
Control Program (NTCP). The NTCP
Chronicle is complementary to the
Grants.Gov electronic grant submission
process by facilitating development of
the key elements for inclusion in
addressing Federal cooperative
agreement requirements, thus helping to
insure effective evidence and sciencebased program planning and
development efforts of state public
health departments.
The NTCP Chronicle supports OSH’s
broader mission of reducing the burden
of tobacco use by enabling OSH staff to
more effectively identify the strengths
and weaknesses of individual TCPs; to
identify the strength of national
movement toward reaching the goals
specified in Healthy People 2010; and to
disseminate information related to
successful public health interventions
implemented by these organizations to
prevent and control the burden of
tobacco use. State use of the electronic
system is voluntary.
The program is requesting a revision
of a currently approved data collection.
The revised content includes
modifications to some of the Progress
Report assessment questions, a
reduction in the number of fields a
cooperative agreement recipient is
required to respond to, and a
recalculation to provide a more realistic
burden estimate of the amount of time
required to complete the Progress
Report. There is no cost to the
respondents other than their time.
