DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
National Institutes of Health
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request (30-Day FRN);
Prostate, Lung, Colorectal and Ovarian Cancer Screening Trial (PLCO)
(NCI)
SUMMARY: Under the provisions of Section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, 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 July 16, 2012 (FR 77, 41791) and allowed 60-days for public
comment. One public comment was received and a response was sent. The
comment referenced alternative research that is unrelated to cancer
screening. 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.
Written comments and/or suggestions regarding the item(s) contained
in this notice, especially regarding the estimated public burden and
associated response time, should be directed to the Attention: NIH Desk
Officer, Office of Management and Budget, at [email protected] or by fax to 202-395-6974. To request more
information on the proposed project or to obtain a copy of the data
collection plans and instruments, contact Dr. Christine D. Berg, Chief,
Early Detection Research Group, National Cancer Institute, NIH, EPN
Building, Room 3100, 6130 Executive Boulevard, Bethesda, MD 20892, or
call non-toll-free number 301-496-8544 or email your request, including
your address to: [email protected].
Comments regarding this information collection are best assured of
having their full effect if received within 30 days of the date of this
publication.
Proposed Collection: Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovarian Cancer
Screening Trial (PLCO), OMB No: 0925-0407, Expiration Date 9/30/2014,
Revision, National Cancer Center (NCI), National Institutes of Health
(NIH).
Need and Use of Information Collection: This trial was designed to
determine if screening for prostate, lung, colorectal, and ovarian
cancer can reduce mortality from these cancers which currently cause an
estimated 255,700 deaths annually in the U.S. The design is a two-armed
randomized trial of men and women aged 55 to 74 at entry. OMB first
approved this study in 1993 and has approved it every 3 years since
then through 2014. During the first approval period a pilot study was
conducted to evaluate recruitment methods and data collection
procedures. Recruitment was completed in 2001, screening was completed
in 2006, and data collection continues through 2016. When participants
enrolled in the trial they agreed to be followed for at least 13 years
from the time of enrollment. In 2011, participants were re-consented
for at least an additional five years of follow-up. The current number
of respondents is limited to the approximately 94,000 participants
being actively followed up. This is down from the initial total. The
reports on screening and prostate, lung, colorectal and ovarian cancer
mortality based on this trial have been published in peer review
medical journals. The additional follow-up will provide data that will
clarify further the long term effects of the screening on cancer
incidence and mortality for the four targeted cancers. Further,
demographic and risk factor information may be used to analyze the
differential effectiveness of screening in high versus low risk
individuals.
OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized
burden hours are 31,813.
