Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request; California Health 
Interview Survey Cancer Control Module (CHIS-CCM) 2011 (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 November 
15, 2010 (75 FR 69681) 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) 2011. Type of

[[Page 2399]]

Information Collection Request: Revision. 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 
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 48,000 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, 
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.
