Proposed Collection; Comment Request: Solar Cell: A Mobile UV 
Manager for Smart Phones (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: Solar Cell: A Mobile UV Manager for 
Smart Phones (NCI). Type of Information Collection Request: New. Need 
and Use of Information Collection: The overall goal of the study is to 
design a smart phone application, Solar Cell, which uses smart phone 
technology to aid users in protecting their skin from damaging 
ultraviolet radiation (UV) in sunlight, a primary cause of skin cancer. 
The purpose of this part of the study is to produce, deploy, and 
evaluate the

effectiveness of a state-of-the-art software application for smart 
phones (i.e., mobile application), ``Solar Cell.'' This software 
application supports decision-making related to sun protection and 
exposure by Americans to reduce the risk of developing skin cancer 
attributable to chronic and severe UV exposure and developing other 
cancers attributable to vitamin D deficiency. The Solar Cell mobile 
smart phone application combines personal and behavior data with geo-
spatial data (i.e., UV Index forecast, time, and location) and delivers 
actionable sun protection advice to reduce risk of skin cancer. 
Frequency of Response: Once. Affected Public: Individuals. Type of 
Respondents: Adults (18 and over) from the U.S. population who own 
Android smart phones. The annual reporting burden is estimated at 673 
(see Table below). There are no Capital Costs, Operating Costs, and/or 
Maintenance Costs to report.
