complement and extend the usefulness
of a companion study of partnerships
between CCC programs and tobacco
control programs. Both studies are made
possible by funding through the

process. The follow-up survey for the
cessation study component will be
administered online or by telephone.
The results of this study will provide
TCPs, policymakers, CDC, and others
with additional evidence for
decisionmaking regarding the impact of
promotional activities and the
comparative effectiveness of traditional
versus new and innovative cessation
questions and a follow-up survey seven
months after intake. There is minimal
burden associated with transmission of
intake information to CDC, since this
information is already collected by
states that are eligible to participate in
the study. The seven-month follow-up
survey for the cessation study
component is a modified version of the
follow-up survey administered for the
NQDW data collection, and will replace

Background and Brief Description
Section 306 of the Public Health
Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C. 242k), as
amended, authorizes that the Secretary
of Health and Human Services (DHHS),
acting through NCHS, ‘‘shall collect
statistics on health resources * * *
[and] utilization of health care,
including extended care facilities, and
other institutions.’’
NCHS seeks approval to collect data
needed to develop an up-to-date
sampling frame of residential care
facilities. The sampling frame will be
used to draw a nationally representative
sample for a planned new survey, the
National Survey of Long-Term Care
Providers (NSLTCP). The frame-related
data will be collected from officials in

state regulatory agencies in the 50 states
and the District of Columbia primarily
via telephone calls, e-mails, and in a
few cases, via formal written requests.
The data to be collected from these state
officials include (1) confirming the
appropriate licensure categories of
residential care facilities within each
state that meet the NSLTCP definition
and (2) for each relevant licensure
category, requesting an electronic file of
the licensed residential care facilities for
which the agency is responsible. The
NSLTCP study definition of a
residential care facility is one that is
licensed, registered, listed, certified, or
otherwise regulated by the state;
provides room and board with at least
two meals a day; provides around-theclock on-site supervision; helps with
activities of daily living (e.g., bathing,
eating, or dressing) or medication
supervision; serves primarily an adult
population; and has at least four beds.
Nursing homes, skilled nursing
facilities, and facilities licensed to serve
the mentally ill or the mentally
retarded/developmentally disabled
populations exclusively are excluded.
The electronic files we seek to obtain
from the states should include the name
and address of the residential care
facility, name of facility director,
licensure category, chain affiliation, and
ownership.
NCHS also seeks approval to collect
data on state licensing requirements
regarding infection control practices
during the frame development process.
During the conversations with state
officials to collect frame-related data,

state officials will be asked to provide
limited information on state licensing
requirements regarding infection control
practices in licensed residential care
facilities.
Expected users of aggregate-level
summary estimates from this data
collection effort include, but are not
limited to CDC; other Department of

agencies, such as the Office of the
Assistant Secretary for Planning and
Evaluation and the Agency for

associations, such as LeadingAge
(formerly the American Association of
Homes and Services for the Aging),
National Center for Assisted Living,
American Seniors Housing Association,
and Assisted Living Federation of
America; universities; foundations; and
other private sector organizations.
We estimate telephone calls with state
officials, including the production of the
electronic files will take 90 minutes
each. Two year clearance is requested.
There is no cost to respondents other
than their time to participate.

Background and Brief Description
Tobacco use is a major preventable
cause of morbidity and mortality in the
U.S. A limited number of health risk
behaviors, including tobacco use,
account for the overwhelming majority
of immediate and long-term sources of
morbidity and mortality. Because many
health risk behaviors are established
during adolescence, there is a critical
need for public health programs
directed towards youth, and for
information to support these programs.
Since 2004, the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC) has
periodically collected information about
tobacco use among adolescents
(National Youth Tobacco Survey
(NYTS) 2004, 2006, 2009, 2011, OMB
no. 0920–0621, exp. 12/31/2011). This
surveillance activity builds on previous
surveys funded by the American Legacy
Foundation in 1999, 2000, and 2002.
At present, 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 data for
students in grades 6–8. The NYTS has

provided 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.
CDC plans to request OMB approval
to conduct additional cycles of the
NYTS in 2012, 2013, and 2014. The
survey will be conducted among
nationally representative samples of
students attending public and private
schools in grades 6–12, and will be
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
teachers. During the 2012–2014
timeframe, a number of changes will be
incorporated that reflect CDC’s ongoing
collaboration with FDA and the need to
measure progress toward meeting
strategic goals established by the Family
Smoking Prevention and Tobacco
Control Act. Information collection will
occur annually and will include a
number of new questions, as well as
increased representation of minority
youth.
The survey will examine the
following topics: use of cigarettes,
smokeless tobacco, cigars, pipes, bidis,
and kreteks, as well as newer tobacco
products (such as snus, electronic
cigarette, and dissolvable tobacco
products); knowledge and attitudes;
media and advertising; access to tobacco
products and enforcement of restrictions
on access; school curriculum;
