SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA)
(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal agencies
must obtain approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for each
collection of information they conduct
or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also
requires federal agencies to provide a
60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each new
proposed collection, each proposed
extension of existing collection of
information, and each reinstatement of
previously approved information
collection before submitting the
collection to the OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are
publishing this notice of a proposed
data collection as described below.
The OMB is particularly interested in
comments that will help:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;

3. Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected;
4. Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses; and
5. Assess information collection costs.
Proposed Project
National Youth Tobacco Survey
(NYTS) (OMB Control No. 0920–0621,
Exp. 1/31/2024)—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 health
risk behaviors, including tobacco use,
account for most immediate and longterm 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
teachers. During the 2024–2026
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.
The survey will examine the
following topics: Use of e-cigarettes,
cigarettes, cigars, smokeless tobacco,
hookahs, roll-your-own cigarettes,
pipes, snus, dissolvable tobacco, bidis,
heated tobacco products, and nicotine
pouches; knowledge and attitudes;
media and advertising; access to tobacco
products and enforcement of restrictions
on access; second-hand smoke and ecigarette aerosol exposure; and
cessation.
Results of the NYTS will continue to
be used 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. Information collected
through the NYTS is also expected to
provide multiple measures and data for
monitoring progress on seven tobaccorelated objectives for Healthy People
2030.
OMB approval will be requested for
three years. CDC requests OMB approval
for an estimated 22,327 annual burden
hours. There are no costs to respondents
other than their time to participate.
periodically collected information about
tobacco use among adolescents
(National Youth Tobacco Survey
(NYTS) 2004, 2006, 2009, 2011–2023
(OMB Control No. 0920–0621, Exp. 01/
31/2024). 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 2024, 2025, and 2026. The
survey will be conducted among
nationally representative samples of
students attending public and private
schools in grades 6–12. The survey will
be digital, web-based, self-administered,
and will be taken on school or personal
computers, tablets, or mobile devices.
Information supporting the NYTS also
will be collected from state-, district-,
and school-level administrators and
