Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request; National Survey of 
Primary Care Physicians' Recommendations and Practice for Breast, 
Cervical, Colorectal, and Lung Cancer Screening

SUMMARY: Under the provisions of section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995, the National Institutes of Health (NIH), 
National Cancer Institute (NCI), has submitted to the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) a request for review and approval of the 
information collection listed below. This proposed information 
collection was previously published in the Federal Register on January 
20, 2006, page 3309 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: National Survey of Primary Care 
Physicians' Recommendations and Practice for Breast, Cervical, 
Colorectal, and Lung Cancer Screening. Type of Information Collection 
Request: New. Need and Use of Information Collection: This study will 
obtain current, national data on primary care physicians' knowledge, 
attitudes, recommendations, and practices related to screening for 
breast, cervical, colorectal, and lung cancer. There have been 
substantial changes in guidelines and/or technologies for these types 
of cancer screening in recent years. The data collected in this study 
will support and further NCI work in monitoring and evaluating 
providers' cancer control knowledge, attitudes, and practices and their 
impact on population health, as well as enable monitoring of progress 
toward major cancer control goals. Two questionnaires, one covering 
breast and cervical cancer screening and the other colorectal and lung 
cancer screening, will be administered by mail or telephone to a 
randomly-selected national sample of primary care physicians. Frequency 
of Response: One Time. Affected Public: Medical practices, clinics, or 
other health care organizations. Type of Respondents: Primary Care 
Physicians. Burden estimates are as follows:
