DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
National Institutes of Health
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request; California Health
Interview Survey Cancer Control Module (CHIS-CCM) 2009 (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 August
22, 2008 (Volume 73, No. 164, p. 49685) 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) 2009. Type of Information Collection
Request: New. 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 fifth to be
administered in 2009. 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
[[Page 66652]]
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 2009, the fifth bi-annual survey, is planned for
administration to 55,000 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, and obesity. 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
or households. Types of Respondents: U.S. adults and adolescents
(persons 12 years of age and older). The total annual burden hours
requested are 3,436.93 (see Table A). The annualized cost to
respondents is estimated at: $57,825. There are no Capital Costs,
Operating Costs, and/or Maintenance Costs to report.

accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information, including the validity of the methodology
and assumptions used; (3) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) Ways to minimize
the burden of the collection of information on those who are to
respond, including the use of appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms
of information technology.
