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. CDC uses the information
collected through the NYTS 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 2018, 2019, and 2020. CDC
will conduct the survey among
nationally representative samples of
students attending public and private
schools in grades 6–12, and administer
to students either as an optically
scannable booklet of multiple-choice
access; secondhand smoke including ecigarette aerosol exposure; provision of
school- and community-based
interventions, and cessation.
CDC will continue to use the results
of the NYTS to inform and evaluate the
National Comprehensive Tobacco
Control Program; provide data to inform
the Department of Health and Human
Service’s Tobacco Control Strategic
Action Plan, and provide national
benchmark data for state-level Youth
Tobacco Surveys. CDC also expects the
information collected through the NYTS
to provide multiple measures and data
for monitoring progress on six of the 20
tobacco-related objectives (TU–2, 3, 7,
11, 18, and 19) for Healthy People 2020.
CDC seeks to request a three-year
OMB approval. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time.
questions or as a digitally-based survey.
CDC will also collect information
supporting the NYTS from state-,
district-, and school-level administrators
and teachers. During the 2018–2020
timeframe, 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 may include a number of
new questions, as well as increased
representation of minority youth.
The survey will examine the
following topics: Use of cigarettes,
cigars, smokeless tobacco, electronic
cigarettes, hookahs, pipes, bidis, snus,
and dissolvable tobacco products;
knowledge and attitudes; media and
advertising; access to tobacco products
and enforcement of restrictions on

Proposed Project
National Notifiable Diseases
Surveillance System (0920–0728,
January 31, 2019)—Revision—Center for
Surveillance, Epidemiology and
Laboratory Services (CSELS), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Public Health Services Act (42
U.S.C. 241) authorizes CDC to
disseminate nationally notifiable
condition information. The National
Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System
(NNDSS) is based on data collected at
the state, territorial and local levels as
a result of legislation and regulations in
those jurisdictions that require health
care providers, medical laboratories,
and other entities to submit healthrelated data on reportable conditions to
public health departments. These
reportable conditions, which include
infectious and non-infectious diseases,
vary by jurisdiction depending upon
each jurisdiction’s health priorities and
needs. Infectious disease agents and
environmental hazards often cross
geographical boundaries. Each year, the
Council of State and Territorial Disease
Epidemiologists (CSTE), supported by
CDC, determines which reportable
conditions should be designated
nationally notifiable or under
standardized surveillance and
voluntarily submitted to CDC so that
information can be shared across
jurisdictional boundaries and
surveillance and prevention and control
activities can be coordinated at regional
and national levels.
CDC requests a three-year approval for
this Revision, which includes requests
to receive: (1) Case notification data
from the Federated States of Micronesia,
the Republic of the Marshall Islands,
and the Republic of Palau (independent
nations that operate under a Compact of
Free Association with the United States
of America that are commonly referred
to as ‘‘freely associated states’’); (2) new
laboratory data elements for all
conditions; (3) new data elements for all
vaccine-preventable diseases (VPDs); (4)
new data elements for the following
conditions that are already approved:
Congenital Rubella Syndrome (CRS),
Salmonellosis, Shigellosis,
Campylobacteriosis, Shiga toxinproducing Escherichia coli (STEC),
Hepatitis, and Hantavirus Pulmonary
Syndrome (HPS); (5) case notification
data for histoplasmosis which is now
under standardized surveillance; (6)
case notification data for Acute Flaccid
Myelitis (AFM) which is now under
standardized surveillance; and (7) case
notification data for all enteric
Escherichia coli infections should any
of them become nationally notifiable or
be placed under standardized
surveillance. CDC already has approval
to receive case notification data for
STEC, which is nationally notifiable.
The burden estimates include the
number of hours that the public health
department uses to process and send
case notification data from their
jurisdiction to CDC. Specifically, the
burden estimates include separate
burden hours incurred for automated
and non-automated transmissions,
separate weekly burden hours incurred
for modernizing surveillance systems as
part of NNDSS Modernization Initiative
(NMI) implementation, separate burden
hours incurred for annual data
reconciliation and submission, and
separate one-time burden hours
incurred for the addition of new
diseases and data elements. These
estimates are based on information from
CDC employees that manage the NMI
effort and conduct site visits to provide
technical assistance to help the public
health departments modernize their
surveillance systems. The estimated
annual burden is 18,529 hours.

all vaccine-preventable diseases (VPDs); (4) new data elements for the
following conditions that are already approved: Congenital Rubella
