Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request; The NIH-American 
Association for Retired Persons (AARP) interactive Comprehensive 
Lifestyle Interview by Computer Study (iCLIC) (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 to review and approve the 
information collection listed below. This proposed information 
collection was previously published in the Federal Register on October 
18, 2010 (75 FR 63833) and allowed 60-days for public comment. There 
was one public comment received on October 18, 2010 which questioned 
the use of ``spending American tax dollars on this study.'' A response 
was sent on December 14, 2010. 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: NIH-American Association for Retired 
Persons (AARP) Comprehensive Lifestyle Interview by Computer (CLIC) 
Study. Type of Information Collection Request: Extension. Need and Use 
of Information Collection: The Nutritional Epidemiology Branch of the 
Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics of the National Cancer 
Institute has planned this study to evaluate the feasibility of using 
these three new computerized questionnaires as well as the Diet and 
Health Questionnaire (DHQ), a well-established food frequency 
questionnaire in a population of early-to-late-middle-aged men and 
women. Participants will be asked to complete computerized 
questionnaires over a 90 day period, with some questionnaires in a 
series being completed twice. This evaluation study comprises the 
necessary performance and feasibility tests for the new computerized 
questionnaires, which will provide an opportunity to assess the 
possibility of administering computerized questionnaires in future 
large prospective cohort studies. The computerized questionnaires will 
support the ongoing examination between cancer and other health 
outcomes with nutritional, physical activity, and lifestyle exposures. 
The computerized questionnaires adhere to The Public Health Service 
Act, Section 412 (42 U.S.C. 285a-1) and Section 413 (42 U.S.C. 285a-2), 
which authorizes the Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics of 
the National Cancer Institute (NCI) to establish and support programs 
for the detection, diagnosis, prevention and treatment of cancer; and 
to collect, identify, analyze and disseminate information on cancer 
research, diagnosis, prevention and treatment. Frequency of Response: 
Either 1 or 2 times. Affected Public: Individuals. Type of Respondents: 
U.S. adults (aged 50 and over). The annual reporting burden is 
displayed in the table below. The estimated total annual burden hours 
being requested is 6886. The annualized cost to respondents is 
estimated at: $121,743. There are no Capital Costs, Operating Costs, 
and/or Maintenance Costs to report.
