Terms of Clearance: This clearance is based on the continued expectation that the survey instrument will be revised to maintain relevance with emerging tobacco use behaviors control policies. Developmental testing of new survey content and incremental improvements to existing wording on the approved instrument (including dropping/adding of a small proportion of the questions), in a manner such that the overall content remains consistent with topics already covered, may be approved through non-substantive change requests. Other types of changes may require revisions and formal OMB review/approval. Based on the recommendations of the NYTS External Peer Review panel report, CDC will work toward implementing changes in the areas where the Agency has determined that changes are feasible (see attachment for Peer Review report). Before OMB extends approval past 2021, CDC must brief OMB on how they have finalized implementation of the recommended changes. In addition, in response to the most recent public comments suggesting more updated question options for cigars and e-cigarettes, CDC will evaluate the suggestions for incorporation prior to the next expected NYTS revision request in 2019.

Abstract: CDC requests OMB approval for three years to continue annual information collection for the National Youth Tobacco Survey (NYTS). The NYTS was previously conducted by CDC in 2004, 2006, 2009, and on an annual basis for years 2011-2017. The NYTS employs a repeat cross-sectional design to develop national estimates of tobacco use behaviors and exposure to pro- and anti-tobacco influences among students enrolled in grades 6-12. .

Short Statement: Since the 2017 NYTS instrument well tracked patterns of use for both traditional tobacco products and emerging products, the 2018 NYTS instrument will remain the same as the one in 2017. So, there are no changes to the estimated burden per response or frequency of data collection for the survey instrument, the recruitment scripts, or the checklist used by teachers. For the 2018-2020 approval period, we are including an allocation of 78 burden hours per year to allow for instrument testing activities. We have increased the sample size in an effort to increase the total number of respondents for analysis purposes. This therefore increases the overall burden estimate slightly relative to previous cycles. The 2015-2017 NYTS approval was based on 21,605 annualized responses and 15,582 annualized burden hours. Current estimates for the 2018-2020 cycles of survey administration are based on estimates of 25,614 annualized responses and 18,537 annualized burden hours for 2018.
