sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES
directed to take every reasonable step to
solicit comment. In determining
whether to approve a collection of
information, the Board will consider all
comments received from the public and
other agencies.
Request for Comment on Information
Collection Proposal
The Board invites public comment on
the following information collection,
which is being reviewed under
authority delegated by the OMB under
the PRA. Comments are invited on the
following:
a. Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the Federal Reserve’s
functions; including whether the
information has practical utility;
b. The accuracy of the Federal
Reserve’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed information collection,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
c. Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected;
d. Ways to minimize the burden of
information collection on respondents,
including through the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology; and
e. Estimates of capital or startup costs
and costs of operation, maintenance,
and purchase of services to provide
information.
At the end of the comment period, the
comments and recommendations
received will be analyzed to determine
the extent to which the Federal Reserve
should modify the proposal prior to
giving final approval.
Proposal to approve under OMB
delegated authority the extension for
three years, without revision, of the

General description of report: Section
206.3 of the Board’s Regulation F, 12
CFR 206.3, requires insured depository
institutions to establish and maintain
policies and procedures designed to
prevent excessive exposure to
‘‘correspondents,’’ which include nonaffiliated U.S. insured depository
institutions and non-affiliated foreign
banks. Regulation F limits the risks that
the failure of a correspondent would
pose to insured depository institutions.
Where exposure to a correspondent is
significant, the policies and procedures
shall require periodic reviews of the
financial condition of the correspondent
and shall take into account any
deterioration in the correspondent’s
financial condition. Where the financial
condition of the correspondent and the
form or maturity of the exposure create
a significant risk that payments will not
be made in full or in a timely manner,
the policies and procedures should limit
the bank’s exposure to the
correspondent, either by the
establishment of internal limits or by
other means.
The Board has updated its burden
estimate for this information collection
to account for all depository institutions
insured by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation (FDIC), all of
which are potential respondents. The
Board’s previous burden estimate
accounted only for state member banks.
The increase in burden reflects the
update to correct the number of
potential respondents, and is not due to
a change in burden for individual
institutions.
Legal authorization and
confidentiality: The Board’s Legal
Division has determined that the
recordkeeping requirements of
Regulation F are mandatory and
authorized by section 23 of the Federal
Reserve Act, as added by section 308 of
the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation Improvement Act of 1991
(FDICIA) (12 U.S.C. 371b–2). Because
the Board does not collect any
information, no issue of confidentiality
normally arises. However, if a
compliance program becomes a Board
record during an examination, the
information may be protected from
disclosure under exemptions (b)(4) and
(b)(8) of the Freedom of Information Act
(5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4) and (b)(8)).

Proposed Project
National Youth Tobacco Surveys
(NYTS) 2018–2020 (OMB Control
Number 0920–0621, expires 01/31/
2018)—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 leading cause of
preventable disease and death in the
United States, and nearly all tobacco use
begins during youth and young
adulthood. A limited number of healthrisk 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 CDC has periodically
collected information about tobacco use
among adolescents (National Youth
Tobacco Survey (NYTS) 2004, 2006,
2009, 2011, 2012, 2013–2017, OMB
Control Number 0920–0621). 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. 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
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
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 a three-year OMB approval
and estimates 18,537 burden hours for
this project. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services policy stipulates that
committee membership be balanced in
terms of points of view represented, and

advisory committees and multiple
committee memberships. Committee
members are Special Government
Employees, requiring the filing of
financial disclosure reports at the
beginning and annually during their
terms. CDC reviews potential candidates

for final selection. HHS notifies selected
candidates of their appointment near
the start of the term in April 2018, or as
soon as the HHS selection process is
completed. Note that the need for
different expertise varies from year to
