Proposed Collection; Comment Request; California Health Interview 
Survey Cancer Control Module (CHIS-CCM) 2011 (NCI)

SUMMARY: In compliance with the requirement of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, for opportunity for public comment 
on proposed data collection projects, the National Cancer Institute 
(NCI), the National Institutes of Health (NIH) will publish periodic 
summaries of proposed projects to be submitted to the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval.
    Proposed Collection: Title: California Health Interview Survey 
Cancer Control Module (CHIS-CCM) 2010. Type of Information Collection 
Request: Revision. Need and Use of Information Collection: The NCI has 
sponsored five Cancer Control Modules in the California Health 
Interview Survey (CHIS), and will be sponsoring a sixth to be 
administered in 2011. 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 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 2011 is planned for continual administration to 48,150 adults and 
3,316 adolescent 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, obesity, and human papillomavirus. 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. Types of Respondents: U.S. adults and 
adolescents (persons 12 years of age and older). The total annual 
burden hours requested are 2,177 (see Table 1). There are no Capital 
Costs, Operating Costs, and/or Maintenance Costs to report.
