National Institutes of Health


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request; 2000 California 
Health Interview Survey Cancer Control Topical Module (CHIS CCTM)

SUMMARY: Under the provisions of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995, the National Cancer Institute (NCI), the 
National Institutes of Health (NIH) has submitted to the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) a request to review and approve the 
information collection listed below. This proposed information 
collection was previously published in the Federal Register on November 
4, 1999, pages 60215-6 and allowed 60 days for public comment. No 
public comments were received. The purpose of this notice is to allow 
an additional 30 days for public comment. The National Institutes of 
Health may not conduct or sponsor, and the respondent is not required 
to respond to, an information collection that has been extended, 
revised or implemented on or after October 1, 1995, unless it displays 
a currently valid OMB control number.
    Proposed Collection: Title: 2000 California Health Interview Survey 
Cancer Control Topical Module (CHIS CCTM). Type of Information Request: 
New. Need and Use of Information Collection: The CHIS CCTM will assist 
NCI in the measurement of the burden of cancer in the population of the 
United States. Due to the rich diversity of California's population, 
NCI will be able to obtain information on racial/ethnic populations 
that are insufficiently represented in current national surveys. In 
addition, CHIS CCTM will use small area data for tracking emerging 
trends in cancer prevention and control at a geographic level that will 
impact future national trends. They survey will provide county-specific 
estimates for small racial/ethnic groups concentrated there. Data will 
be collected from July-December 2000, from approximately 55,000 
respondents. Frequency of Response: One-time study. Affected Public: 
Individuals or households. Type of Respondents: Persons 18 yrs of age 
or older. The annual reporting burden is as follows: Estimated Number 
of Respondents: 55,000; Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 
1; Average Burden Hours per Response: .2171; and Estimated Total Annual 
Burden Hours Requested: 11,962. There are no Capital Costs, Operating 
Costs, and/or Maintenance Costs to report.
    Request for Comments: Written comments and/or suggestions from the 
public and affected agencies should address one or more of the 
following points: (1) Evaluate whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the function of 
the agency, including whether the information will have practical 
utility; (2) 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; and (4) Minimize the burden 
of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including 
the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other 
technological collection techniques or other forms of information 
technology.
    Direct Comments to OMB: Written comments and/or suggestions 
regarding the item(s) contained in this notice, especially regarding 
the estimated public burden and associated response time, should be 
directed to the: Office of Management and Budget, Office of Regulatory 
Affairs, New Executive Office Building, Room 10235, Washington, D.C.
