DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

National Institutes of Health


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request; Food Reporting 
Comparison Study (FORCS) and Food and Eating Assessment Study (FEAST) 
(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 April 
15, 2011 (76 FR 21383). One public comment was received on April 15 
requesting a copy of the data collection package. The submission was 
sent to the requestor on April 21. 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: Food Reporting Comparison Study (FORCS) 
and Food and Eating Assessment Study (FEAST) (NCI). Type of Information 
Collection Request: Extension. Need and Use of Information Collection: 
The title of this collection was previously, ``24-Hour Dietary Recall 
Method Comparison and the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Observational 
Feeding Studies.'' The objective of the two studies is to compare the 
performance of the newly developed computerized Automated Self-
Administered 24-Hour Recall (ASA24) approach to collecting 24-hour 
recall (24HR) data with the current standard, the interviewer-
administered Automated Multiple Pass Method (AMPM). The ultimate goal 
is to determine to what extent the new automated instrument can be used 
instead of the more expensive interviewer-administered instrument in 
the collection of dietary intake data. Frequency of Response: Twice. 
Affected Public: Individuals. Type of Respondents: For the FORCS study, 
approximately 1,200 adult members from three health maintenance 
organization plans (in Minnesota, California, and Michigan) between 
ages 20 and 70 years. For the FEAST study, approximately 90 adult 
residents from the Washington, DC metropolitan area between ages 20 and 
70 years. The annual reporting burden is estimated at 866 hours (see 
table below). This amounts to an estimated 2598 burden hours over the 
3-year data collection period with a total cost to the respondents 
$54,293. There are no Capital costs, Operating costs, and/or 
Maintenance costs to report.
