signs of a neurological infection. The
forms also collect data specific to the
traveler’s conveyance.
These data are used by Quarantine
Stations to make decisions about a
passenger’s suspected illness as well as
its communicability. This in turn
enables Quarantine Station staff to assist
conveyances in the public health
management of passengers and crew.
The estimated total burden on the
public, included in the chart below, can
vary a great deal depending on the
severity of the illness being reported,
the number of contacts, the number of
follow-up inquiries required, and who is
recording the information (e.g.,
Quarantine Station staff versus the
conveyance medical authority). In all
cases, Quarantine Stations have
implemented practices and procedures
that balance the health and safety of the
American public against the public’s
desire for minimal interference with
their travel and trade. Whenever
possible, Quarantine Station staff obtain
information from other documentation
(e.g., manifest order, other airline
documents) to reduce the amount of the
public burden.
There is no cost to respondents other
than their time to complete the survey.
The annualized burden for this data
collection is 172 hours.

2009 and 2011 National Youth
Tobacco Surveys (NYTS)—Revision—
National Center for Chronic Disease
Prevention and Health Promotion
(NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The purpose of this request is to
renew OMB clearance of the National
Youth Tobacco Survey (NYTS) (OMB
No. 0920–0621; exp. date December 31,
2008), a national school-based study to
be conducted in 2009 and 2011. The
NYTS was previously funded by the
American Legacy Foundation in 1999,
2000, and 2002. The NYTS was funded
by CDC in 2004 and additional surveys
were conducted in 2004 and 2006. The
proposed revision will incorporate
minor changes to the burden estimate
and the survey instrument.
The NYTS is the most comprehensive
source of nationally representative
tobacco data among students in grades
9–12, moreover, the NYTS is the only
source of such national data for students
in grades 6–8. The NYTS covers the
PO 00000

following topics related to youth
tobacco use: use of cigarettes, smokeless
tobacco, cigars, pipes, bidis, and
kreteks; knowledge and attitudes; media
and advertising; access to tobacco
products and enforcement of restrictions
on access; school curriculum;
environmental tobacco smoke exposure;
and cessation. The NYTS provides
national estimates of tobacco use
behaviors, information about exposure
to pro- and anti-tobacco influences, and
information about racial and ethnic
disparities in tobacco-related topics.
Information collected through the NYTS
is used to identify trends over time, to
inform the development of tobacco
cessation programs for youth, and to
evaluate the effectiveness of existing
interventions and programs.
Tobacco use is a major preventable
cause of morbidity and mortality in the
U.S. and is one of the 28 focus areas in
Healthy People 2010. Within the
Healthy People 2010 focus area of
tobacco use, the NYTS provides data
relevant to six health objectives. The
survey also provides data to monitor
one of the 10 leading health indicators
for Healthy People 2010 that addresses
tobacco use.
In Spring 2009 and Spring 2011, the
NYTS will be conducted among
nationally representative samples of
students attending public and private
schools in grades 6–12. The NYTS is
administered to students as an optically
scannable, eight-page booklet of
multiple-choice questions. Information
supporting the NYTS also will be
collected from state-, district-, and
school-level administrators and

institution collaborative network, the
Emerging Infections Program (EIP)
which includes defined catchment areas
in the states of California, Colorado,
Connecticut, Georgia, Maryland,
Minnesota, New Mexico, New York,
Oregon, and Tennessee. From October 1
through April 30 (flu season), Flu Hosp
sites will collect data in selected
catchment areas using case report forms.
Participating sites will also complete
discharge audit forms following flu
season.
A standardized case report form will
be completed for all persons meeting the
case definition and inclusion criteria in
the selected catchment areas. Most of
the case report forms can be completed
using data obtained from the laboratory
and medical chart review. If the medical
chart is not available, or the necessary
information is not included in the
medical record, the patient or their
proxy may be interviewed.
To address any limitation in
completeness of case identification, a
retrospective discharge audit will be
conducted by each participating site
following flu season. Based on a range
of discharge diagnoses, persons aged 18
years or older who are residents of a
geographically-defined area and who
were admitted to hospitals during
October 1, 2007 through April 30, 2008,
will have their medical chart examined
to identify whether they had an
influenza positive test result at the
beginning of their hospitalization. The
discharge audit will determine if cases
were missed by usual case
ascertainment methods. The
completeness evaluation is a matching
(or linking) project, followed by chart
abstraction of missed cases.

The need for the information and
proposed use(s) of the information are
necessary because currently there is no
national surveillance system in place
that is able to estimate the burden of
laboratory-confirmed adult
hospitalizations during seasonal or
pandemic influenza within a given
season. Additionally, because influenza
is often underreported, including a
retrospective discharge audit in addition
to conducting prospective surveillance
is needed to identify limitations in
current surveillance efforts.
The respondents for each of the forms
are the 10 state health departments who
submit biweekly case report forms for
pediatric and adult influenza
surveillance, and who submit discharge
audit forms to CDC. Responses for the
case report forms indicate the number of
cases that are identified. The number of
responses for all case report forms must
be estimated as we do not know before
hand how many cases will occur.
Respondents are required to submit data
for the Adult Flu Hosp project and the
Pediatric Influenza Project to the CDC
bi-weekly during flu season. Responses
for Discharge Audit forms A–D indicate
the number of times each site is
required to fill out the respective form.
Data for the Discharge audit will be a
one-time data collection for each case.
Although 10 states participate in Flu
Hosp, because New York includes two
functionally and geographically
different catchment areas, those two
areas will submit individual discharge
audit data, to make a total of 11
respondents.
There are no costs to respondents
other than their time. The total
estimated annualized burden is 508
hours.
