Proposed Project National Quitline Data Warehouse— New—National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description Tobacco use remains the leading preventable cause of disease and death in the United States, resulting in approximately 440,000 deaths annually and contributing to $92 billion annually in lost worker productivity. Although the prevalence of current smoking among adults decreased significantly since its peak in the 1960s, overall smoking prevalence among U.S. adults has remained virtually unchanged during the past five years. Large disparities in smoking prevalence continue to exist among members of racial/ethnic minority groups and individuals of low socioeconomic status. The National Tobacco Control Program (NTCP) was established by CDC to help reduce tobacco-related disease, disability, and death. The NTCP provides funding for state Quitlines, which provide telephone-based tobacco cessation services to help tobacco users quit. Quitlines overcome many of the barriers to tobacco cessation classes and traditional clinics because they are free and available at the caller’s convenience. Quitline services in all states can be accessed through a toll-free national portal number at 1–800–QUIT– NOW. According to CDC’s Best Practices for Comprehensive Tobacco Control, approximately six to eight percent of tobacco users potentially can be reached successfully by Quitlines; however, currently, only one to two percent of tobacco users contact Quitlines. PO 00000 Frm 00079 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 With funding authorized by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), CDC has provided additional support for the expansion of tobacco Quitline services. CDC is therefore requesting OMB approval to establish a National Quitline Data Warehouse (NDQW), and to collect information from the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and Guam. The principal information collection will be based on a uniform Minimum Data Set (MDS) developed collaboratively by the North American Quitline Consortium and other tobacco control organizations. Quitline service providers will use a common interview instrument to collect information from all callers. A oneminute interview will be conducted with callers who contact the Quitline to obtain information on another person’s behalf. Callers who contact the Quitline to obtain information or services for themselves will be asked to participate in a 10-minute interview. A random sample of callers who receive a Quitline service will be asked to participate in a short, voluntary follow-up interview seven months after intake. In addition, to monitor and evaluate the expenditure of Recovery Act funding, CDC will collect a quarterly report about each Quitline program from the designated Tobacco Control Manager. These reports will be used to quantify improvements in the capacity of the Quitlines to assist tobacco users over time. The information collected in the NQDW will be used to determine the role Quitlines play in promoting tobacco use cessation, measure the number of tobacco users being served by state Quitlines, determine reach of Quitlines to high-risk populations (e.g., racial and ethnic minorities and the medically underserved), measure the number using each state Quitline who quit, determine whether some combinations of services contribute to higher quit rates than others, and improve the timeliness, access to, and quality of data collected by Quitlines. Information will be collected electronically for a two-year period. There are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 90,563.

Background and Brief Description On October 10, 2008, President Bush signed S. 1382: ALS Registry Act which amended the Public Health Service Act to provide for the establishment of an Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) Registry. The activities described are part of the effort to create the National ALS Registry. The purpose of the registry is to: (1) Better describe the incidence and prevalence of ALS in the United States; (2) examine appropriate factors, such as environmental and occupational, that might be associated with the disease; (3) better outline key demographic factors (such as age, race or ethnicity, gender, and family history) associated with the disease; and (4) better examine the connection between ALS and other motor neuron disorders that can be confused with ALS, misdiagnosed as ALS, and in some cases progress to ALS. The registry will collect personal health information that may provide a basis for further scientific studies of potential risks for developing ALS. This project purposes to collect information specific data related to ALS. The objective of this project is to develop state-based and metropolitan area-based surveillance projects for ALS. The primary goal of the state-based and metropolitan area-based surveillance project is to use these data to evaluate the completeness of the National ALS Registry. The secondary goal of the surveillance project is to obtain reliable and timely information on the incidence and prevalence of ALS and to better describe the demographic characteristics (e.g., age, race, sex, and geographic location) of those with ALS. Neurologists or their staff will complete an ALS Case Reporting Form on each of their ALS patients. This will be transmitted to the state or metropolitan health department. Approval is being requested for a 3-year period; it is estimated that there will be approximately 6,750 cases of ALS reported in the state and metropolitan areas during this 3-year period. An ALS Medical Record Verification Form will be collected on a subset of cases reported. Surveillance items to be collected include information to make sure that there are no duplicates such as full name, address, date of birth, and last five digits of the Social Security number. There are no costs to the neurologist respondents reporting the cases other than their time. emcdonald on DSK2BSOYB1PROD with NOTICES ESTIMATED ANNUALIZED BURDEN HOURS Number of responses per respondent Average burden per response (in hours) Total burden hours Type of respondents Form Neurologists ..........................................................
