Proposed Data Collections Submitted
for Public Comment and
Recommendations
In compliance with the requirement
of section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 for
opportunity for public comment on
proposed data collection projects, the
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) will publish periodic
summaries of proposed projects. To
request more information on the
proposed projects or to obtain a copy of
the data collection plans and
instruments, call 404–639–5960 or send
comments to Maryam I. Daneshvar, CDC
Acting Reports Clearance Officer, 1600
Clifton Road, MS D–74, Atlanta, GA
30333 or send an e-mail to
omb@cdc.gov.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
Health (NCEH). Information has been
collected from adult smokers of fullflavor, light and ultralight cigarettes,
however, the target number of
respondents was not achieved during
the initial approval period.
CDC requests OMB approval to
reinstate the information collection after
the expiration date (OMB No. 0920–
0736, exp. 3/31/2010) in order to meet
recruitment goals and complete the data
analysis as outlined in the original
approval. Respondents will be asked to
participate in a laboratory-based
descriptive study of smoking behavior
and analysis of biomarkers of exposure.
Respondents will make two visits to a
laboratory for measurements and
complete a brief smoking diary during
the one-day interval between the two
laboratory visits. Indicators of smoking
behavior such as ventilation poreblocking behavior, puff volume, puff
duration, puff velocity and inter-puff
interval will be assessed. Measures of
exposure to be assessed include
expired-air carbon monoxide boost,
carcinogens, nicotine and its
metabolites in urine, cotinine in saliva
and solanesol in cigarette butts as an
indicator of total smoke exposure.
The goals of this project are to
characterize the range of human
smoking behavior for a variety of
cigarette categories and machinesmoked yields, and to estimate the
levels of biomarkers of exposure with
the various cigarette styles.
CDC Requests OMB approval for two
years. During this period there will be
a reduction in total burden due to the
limited number of respondents needed
to complete the study. No changes to the
data collection instruments or the
estimated burden per response are
proposed. Participation in the study is
voluntary. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time.
Background and Brief Description
Cigarettes are currently ranked as fullflavor, light or ultralight on the basis of
machine-measured levels of smoke
toxins (yield categories). The machinebased methods approximate human
smoking patterns under controlled
conditions but may not accurately
reflect conditions of actual use,
moreover, public health data have not
consistently shown differences in health
outcomes among smokers of cigarettes
of different machine-smoked yield
categories. Comparison of cigarette
smoke emissions using machinesmoking methods will continue until
something superior is developed,
therefore, machine-smoking must be
adequately informed to yield results that
better reflect human smoking behavior.
In 2007, the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC) received
OMB approval for a study designed to
elucidate patterns of human smoking
behavior, quantify biomarkers of
exposure to smoke toxins under
conditions of actual use, and determine
how smoking behavior modifies the
relationship between cigarette yield
category, biomarkers of exposure, and
measures of cardiovascular reactivity.
The study has been a collaborative
endeavor involving the National Center
for Chronic Disease Prevention and
Health Promotion (NCCDPHP) and the
National Center for Environmental

Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork
Reduction Act Review
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) publishes a list of
information collection requests under
review by the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) in compliance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35). To request a copy of these
requests, call the CDC Reports Clearance
Officer at (404) 639–5960 or send an email to omb@cdc.gov. Send written
comments to CDC Desk Officer, Office of
Management and Budget, Washington,
Formal surveillance of 16 separate
reportable diseases has been ongoing to
meet the public demand and scientific
interest in accurate, consistent,
epidemiologic data. These ongoing
disease reports include: CreutzfeldtJakob Disease (CJD), Cyclospora,
Dengue, Hantavirus, Kawasaki
Syndrome, Legionellosis, Lyme disease,
Malaria, Plague, Q Fever, Reye
Syndrome, Tickborne Rickettsial
Disease, Trichinosis, Tularemia,
Typhoid Fever, and Viral Hepatitis. The
Active Bacterial Surveillance (ABCs)
forms were removed in 2007 and were
approved as separate documents under
OMB control number 0920–0802. Case
report forms from state and territorial
health departments enable CDC to
collect demographic, clinical, and
laboratory characteristics of cases of
these diseases. This revision
incorporates the removal of the ABCs
surveillance forms and minor changes to
the Malaria surveillance form.
The purpose of the proposed study is
to direct epidemiologic investigations,
identify and monitor trends in
reemerging infectious diseases or
emerging modes of transmission, to
search for possible causes or sources of
the diseases, and develop guidelines for
prevention and treatment. The data
collected will also be used to
recommend target areas most in need of
vaccinations for selected diseases and to
determine development of drug
resistance. Because of the distinct
nature of each of the diseases, the
number of cases reported annually is
different for each. There is no cost to
respondents other than their time. The
estimated annualized burden for this
data collection is 11,441 hours.
