DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

National Institutes of Health


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request; California Health 
Interview Survey Cancer Control Module (CHIS-CCM) 2009 (NCI)

SUMMARY: Under the provisions of Section 3507(a)(1)(D) 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 for review and approval of the 
information collection listed below. This proposed information 
collection was previously published in the Federal Register on August 
22, 2008 (Volume 73, No. 164, p. 49685) 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: California Health Interview Survey 
Cancer Control Module (CHIS-CCM) 2009. Type of Information Collection 
Request: New. Need and Use of Information Collection: The NCI has 
sponsored four Cancer Control Modules in the California Health 
Interview Survey (CHIS), and will be sponsoring a fifth to be 
administered in 2009. CHIS is a telephone survey that collects 
population-based, standardized health-related data to assess 
California's progress in meeting Healthy People 2010 objectives for the 
nation and the state. The CHIS sample is designed to provide 
statistically reliable estimates statewide, for California counties, 
and for California's ethnically and racially diverse population. 
Initiated by the UCLA Center for Health Policy

[[Page 66652]]

Research, the California Department of Health Services, and the 
California Public Health Institute, the survey is funded by a number of 
public and private sources. It was first administered in 2001 to 55,428 
adults and subsequently in 2003 to 42,043 adults, in 2005 to 43,020 
adults, and in 2007 to 48,150 adults. These adults are a representative 
sample of California's non-institutionalized population living in 
households. CHIS 2009, the fifth bi-annual survey, is planned for 
administration to 55,000 adult Californians. This study will allow NCI 
to examine patterns and trends in cancer screening and follow-up, as 
well as to study other cancer-related topics such as tobacco control, 
diet, physical activity, and obesity. Additionally, CHIS is designed to 
be comparable to the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) data in 
order to conduct comparative analyses. CHIS provides enhanced estimates 
for cancer risk factors and screening among racial/ethnic minority 
populations. Frequency of Response: Once. Affected public: Individuals 
or households. Types of Respondents: U.S. adults and adolescents 
(persons 12 years of age and older). The total annual burden hours 
requested are 3,436.93 (see Table A). The annualized cost to 
respondents is estimated at: $57,825. There are no Capital Costs, 
Operating Costs, and/or Maintenance Costs to report.
