Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request; Short Follow-Up
Questionnaire for the National Institutes of Health (NIH)-AARP Diet and
Health Study (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 February
4, 2011 (76 FR 6485) 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: Short Follow-Up Questionnaire for the
National Institutes of Health (NIH)-AARP Diet and Health Study (NCI).

is to obtain information on 18 different medical conditions, several
medical procedures, and lifestyle characteristics from 485,909
participants of the NIH-AARP Diet and Health Study. The questionnaire
will support the ongoing examination between cancer and nutritional
exposures. A pilot mailing to 1,600 randomly selected NIH-AARP Diet and
Health study participants confirmed the feasibility of the methodology
and willingness of respondents to participate in this data collection
effort. This questionnaire adheres to The Public Health Service Act,
Section 412 (42 U.S.C. 285a-1) and Section 413 (42 U.S.C. 285a-2),
which authorizes the Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics of
the National Cancer Institute (NCI) to establish and support programs
for the detection, diagnosis, prevention and treatment of cancer; and
to collect, identify, analyze and disseminate information on cancer
research, diagnosis, prevention and treatment. Frequency of Response:
Once. Affected Public: Individuals. Type of Respondents: U.S. adults
(persons aged 50-85). The annual reporting burden is displayed in the
table below. There are no Capital Costs, Operating Costs, and/or
Maintenance Costs to report.
