    Proposed Collection Title: NCI Cancer Genetics Services Directory 
Web-Based Application and Update Mailer, 0925-0639, Extension, National 
Cancer Institute (NCI), National Institutes of Health (NIH).
    Need and Use of Information Collection: The Office of 
Communications and Public Liaison has created the NCI Cancer Genetics 
Services Directory on NCI's Web site Cancer.gov. This directory is a 
searchable collection of information about professionals who provide 
services related to cancer genetics. These services include cancer risk 
assessment, genetic counseling, and genetic susceptibility testing. The 
professionals have applied to be in the directory using an online 
application form and have met basic criteria outlined on the form.
    There are currently 552 genetics professionals listed in the 
directory. Approximately 30-60 new professionals are added to the 
directory each year. The applicants are nurses, physicians, genetic 
counselors, and other professionals who provide services related to 
cancer genetics. The information collected on the application form 
includes name, professional qualifications, practice locations, and the 
area of specialization. The information is updated annually using a 
Web-based update mailer that mirrors the application form.
    The NCI Cancer Genetics Services Directory is a unique resource for 
cancer patients and their families who are looking for information 
about their family risk of cancer and genetic counseling. Collecting 
applicant information and verifying it annually by using the NCI Cancer 
Genetics Services Directory Web-based Application Form and Update 
Mailer is important for providing this information to the public and 
for keeping it current.
    OMB approval is requested for 3 year. There are no costs to 
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized 
burden hours are 180.

                                                            Estimated Annualized Burden Hours
