Summary

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has published a notice regarding agency forms undergoing review under the Paperwork Reduction Act. This notice initiates a 30-day review period for public comment on the forms.

What changed

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), part of the Department of Health and Human Services, has initiated a review of its agency forms under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). This notice, published in the Federal Register, announces that certain forms are subject to review and seeks public comment. The specific forms are not detailed in this summary, but the review is part of the standard PRA process to ensure federal agencies do not collect information from the public without proper justification and OMB approval.

Regulated entities, particularly healthcare providers who interact with CDC forms, should be aware that these forms are under review. While this is a routine procedural notice, it presents an opportunity to provide feedback on the information collection burden. Interested parties can submit comments during the 30-day period following publication. Failure to comply with PRA requirements can lead to issues with information collection, though direct penalties for this specific notice are not outlined.

What to do next

  1. Review the Federal Register notice for specific forms subject to review.
  2. Submit comments to the CDC regarding the information collection burden of relevant forms within the 30-day comment period.

The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable
regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of
establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned
publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that
the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with
the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for
legal research should verify their results against an official edition of
the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML
rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not
provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.

  1. [30Day-26-1390] In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has submitted the information collection request titled “Evaluation Reporting Template for National and State Tobacco Control Program” to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval. CDC previously published a “Proposed Data Collection Submitted for Public Comment and Recommendations” notice on September 30, 2025 to obtain comments from the public and affected agencies. CDC received one comment related to the previous notice. This notice serves to allow an additional 30 days for public and affected agency comments.

CDC will accept all comments for this proposed information collection project. The Office of Management and Budget is particularly interested in comments that:

(a) 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;

(b) Evaluate the accuracy of the agencies estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used;

(c) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected;

(d) 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 submission of responses; and

(e) Assess information collection costs.

To request additional information on the proposed project or to obtain a copy of the information collection plan and instruments, call (404) 639-7570. Comments and recommendations for the proposed information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice to www.reginfo.gov/​public/​do/​PRAMain Find this particular information collection by selecting “Currently under 30-day Review—Open for Public Comments” or by using the search function. Direct written comments and/or suggestions regarding the items contained in this notice to the Attention: CDC Desk Officer, Office of Management and Budget, 725 17th Street NW, Washington, DC 20503 or by fax to (202) 395-5806. Provide written comments within 30 days of notice publication. ( printed page 11313)

Proposed Project

Evaluation Reporting Template for National and State Tobacco Control Program (OMB Control No. 0920-1390, Exp. 3/31/2026)—Extension—National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

The National and State Tobacco Control Program (NTCP) was created in 1999 to encourage coordinated, national efforts to reduce tobacco-related diseases and deaths. The NTCP provides funding and technical support to state and territorial health departments. NTCP funds 50 states, Washington, DC, Puerto Rico, and Guam. NTCP-funded programs are working to eliminate exposure to secondhand smoke, promote quitting among adults and youth, prevent initiation among youth and young adults, and identify and eliminate tobacco-related disparities. To reach these goals, the programs implement state and community interventions, mass-reach health communication interventions, tobacco use and dependence treatment interventions, and conduct surveillance and evaluation. This information collection project supports the NTCP tobacco program managers, administrators, and evaluators by specifying which information should be included in their annual evaluation reports. Furthermore, the information collected via this form will allow CDC to monitor and evaluate program performance; document facilitators and barriers, lessons learned, and promising practices; establish processes to support continuous program improvement and development; and assess the effectiveness and outcomes of the NTCP. This information collection request (ICR) pertains to the form titled “Evaluation Reporting Template for National and State Tobacco Control Program” (ERT). The collection of this information is part of a federal reporting requirement for funds received by NTCP recipients. The information collection form consolidates information necessary for evaluation of the NTCP. The data collected through the Evaluation Reporting Template for National and State Tobacco Control Program (ERT) was compared to all other potential evaluation data sources and designed not to duplicate any information collected in other tools. By contrast, the ERT will collect process and outcome evaluation findings resulting from individual evaluations designed by each NTCP recipient; findings will include contextual factors, indicators, lessons learned, and information about health inequities and health disparities.

Recipients will use the Evaluation Reporting Template for National and State Tobacco Control Program to report information to CDC about their Tobacco Control Program evaluation findings. Each recipient will submit an Evaluation Report template annually. Intended respondents include 53 cooperative agreement recipients. The estimated burden per response is eight hours for each Annual Evaluation Report and the total estimated annualized burden is 424 hours. CDC requests a three-year approval.
