Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.
Quitline Callers Face Short Time Burden
If you call a state quitline, participating in the National Quitline Data Warehouse intake interview is voluntary and takes about 10 minutes for a complete intake. Callers who request help for someone else answer a subset of questions that takes about 1 minute; Asian Smokers' Quitline callers may be asked a 7-minute seven-month follow-up interview.
Funding Recipients Must Submit Quitline Data
As a condition of CDC funding (CDC-RFA-DP20-2001), 54 cooperative agreement awardees must submit NQDW intake data quarterly and the NQDW Services Survey semiannually; CDC requests OMB approval of this collection for three years. CDC estimates an annual total burden of 68,088 hours and states there is no cost to respondents other than their time.
