Proposed Project
Monitoring and Reporting System for
Chronic Disease Prevention and Control
Programs (OMB No. 0920–0870, exp.
11/30/2014)—Revision—National
Center for Chronic Disease Prevention
and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Tobacco use is the single most
preventable cause of death and disease
in the United States. Tobacco use causes
heart disease and strokes, lung cancer
and many other types of cancer, chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease, lung
disorders, pregnancy problems, sudden
infant death syndrome, gum disease,
and vision problems. Approximately
480,000 Americans die from tobaccorelated illnesses annually, a higher
number of deaths than the combined
total deaths from HIV/AIDS, alcohol
use, cocaine use, heroin use, homicides,
suicides, motor vehicle crashes, and
fires. For every person who dies from
tobacco use, 20 more people suffer with
at least one serious tobacco-related
illness. There are also severe economic
consequences of tobacco use as the U.S.
spends approximately $280 billion
annually in direct medical expenses and
lost productivity attributable to the
effects of tobacco use.
The National Center for Chronic
Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion (NCCDPHP) provides
funding to health departments in States,
territories, and the District of Columbia
to implement and evaluate chronic
disease prevention and control
programs, including tobacco control
programs. Currently, CDC has
cooperative agreements to support
tobacco control programs in all 50 states
and the District of Columbia under FOA

DP14–1415, an extension of FOA DP09–
901. These cooperative agreements
technically ended on March 28, 2014,
however a one-year cost extension
(DP14–1415) was granted. Due to the
cost extension, final reports on awardee
activities are due to CDC approximately
90 days after the end of the funding
period (Summer 2015).
In order to maintain continuity in
progress reporting through the end of
the cost extension, CDC requests OMB
approval to continue the collection of
information from tobacco control
program awardees for one year.
Awardees will continue to submit
progress reports through a Web-based
management information system (MIS).
CDC will continue to collect
information about each awardee’s
tobacco control objectives, planning,
activities, resources, partnerships,
strategies, and progress toward meeting
objectives. Awardees will use the
information reported through the
electronic MIS to manage and
coordinate their activities and to
improve their efforts. CDC will use the
information reported through the MIS to
document and monitor each awardee’s
progress and to make adjustments, as
needed, in the type and level of
technical assistance provided to them.
The information collection allows CDC
to oversee the use of federal funds, and
identify and disseminate information
about successful tobacco control
strategies implemented by awardees.
CDC also uses the information to
respond to Congressional and
stakeholder inquiries about awardee
activities, program implementation, and
program impact.
Progress reporting through the MIS is
required for CDC funded awardees.
There are no costs to respondents other
than their time. There are no changes to
the content of the information collection
or the estimated burden per response.
The only changes are a decrease in the
number of tobacco control program
respondents from 53 to 51, and a change
in reporting frequency from semi-annual
to annual. As a result, there will be a net
reduction of 330 annualized burden
hours. For the one-year period of this
Revision request, the total estimated
annualized burden hours are 306.

Proposed Project
National Health Interview Survey
(NHIS) (OMB No. 0920–0214, expires
03/31/2016)—Revision—National
Center for Health Statistics (NCHS),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
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 data
on the extent and nature of illness and
disability of the population of the
United States. The annual National
Health Interview Survey is a major
source of general statistics on the health
of the U.S. population and has been in
the field continuously since 1957.
Clearance is sought for three years, to
collect data for 2015, 2016, and 2017.
This voluntary and confidential
household-based survey collects
demographic and health-related
information on a nationally
representative sample of persons and
households throughout the country.
Personal identification information is
requested from survey respondents to
facilitate linkage of survey data with
health-related administrative and other
records.
Each year we collect information from
approximately 55,000 households,
PO 00000
Frm 00047
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
which contain about 137,500
individuals.
Information is collected using
computer assisted personal interviews
(CAPI). A core set of data is collected
each year that remains largely
unchanged while sponsored
supplements vary from year to year. The
core set includes sociodemographic
characteristics, health status, health care
services, and health behaviors. For
2015, supplemental questions will be
cycled in pertaining to cancer control,
epilepsy, and inflammatory bowel
disease and occupational health.
Supplemental topics that continue or
are enhanced from 2014 will be related
to food security, heart disease and
stroke, children’s mental health,
disability and functioning, sexual
orientation, smokeless tobacco and ecigarettes, immunizations, and
computer use. Questions on the
Affordable Care Act from 2014 have
been reduced in number in 2015. In
addition, a follow-back survey will be
conducted on previous NHIS
respondents. The follow-back survey
will focus on topics related to the
Affordable Care Act including health
care access and use, and health
insurance coverage and will include
multiple modes of contacting
respondents.
To improve the analytic utility of
NHIS data, minority populations are
oversampled annually. In 2015, sample
augmentation procedures used in
previous years will continue to increase
the number of African American,
Hispanic, and Asian American persons.
In accordance with the 1995 initiative
to increase the integration of surveys
within the DHHS, respondents to the
NHIS serve as the sampling frame for
the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey
conducted by the Agency for Healthcare
Research and Quality. The NHIS has
long been used by government,
academic, and private researchers to
evaluate both general health and
specific issues, such as cancer, diabetes,
and access to health care. It is a leading
source of data for the Congressionally
mandated ‘‘Health US’’ and related
publications, as well as the single most
important source of statistics to track
progress toward the National Health
