Background and Brief Description
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

The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention is requesting a three year
extension to continue data collection
under the Select Agent Distribution
Activity. The form used for this activity
is currently approved under OMB
Control No. 0920–0591. The purpose of
this data collection is to provide a
systematic and consistent mechanism to
review requests that come to CDC for
Select Agents. The term select agents is
used to described a limited group of
viruses, bacteria, rickettsia, and toxins
that have the potential for use as agents
of bioterrorism, inflicting significant
morbidity and mortality on susceptible
populations.
In light of current terrorism concerns
and the significant NIH grant monies
Proposed Project
Select Agent Distribution Activity:
Request for Select Agent (OMB Control
directed toward Select Agent research,
CDC receives hundreds of requests for
Select Agents from researchers. The
approximately 900 applicants are
required to complete an application
form in which they identify themselves
and their institution, provide a
Curriculum Vitae or biographical
sketch, a summary of their research
proposal, and sign indemnification and
material transfer agreement statements.
In this request, CDC is requesting
approval for approximately 450 hours;
no change from the currently approved
burden. The only correction to this data
collection request is updating the name
of the National Center on the
application form. A user fee will be
collected to recover costs for materials,
handling and shipping (except for
public health laboratories). The cost to
the respondent will vary based on
which agent is requested.

Background and Brief Description
Tobacco use remains the leading
preventable cause of death in the United
States, causing over 443,000 deaths each
year and resulting in an annual cost of
more than $96 billion in direct medical
expenses. According to the latest Report
of the Surgeon General (2010), ‘‘How
Tobacco Causes Disease,’’ damage from
tobacco smoke is immediate. Inhaling
the over 7,000 chemicals and
compounds in tobacco smoke causes
immediate and long-term damage and
leads to disease, including cancer, and
death. The only proven strategy for
reducing the risk of tobacco-related
morbidity and mortality is to never
smoke, or to quit if tobacco use has been
initiated.
In 1999, CDC’s Office on Smoking and
Health (OSH) established the National
Tobacco Control Program (NTCP) to
encourage coordinated, national efforts
to reduce tobacco-related morbidity and
mortality. The NTCP provides funding
and technical support to Tobacco
Control Programs (TCPs) in all 50 states,
the District of Columbia, seven tribal
support centers, eight U.S. territories or
jurisdictions, and six national networks.
NTCP awardees implement evidence-
