DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
National Institutes of Health
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request NIH-American
Association for Retired Persons (AARP) Comprehensive Lifestyle
Interview by Computer (CLIC) Study
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 June 10,
2008 (Vol. 73, No. 112, p. 32717) and allowed 60-days for public
comment. There were no public comments received during this time. 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: NIH-American Association for Retired
Persons (AARP) Comprehensive Lifestyle Interview by Computer (CLIC)
Study. Type of Information Collection Request: New. Need and Use of
Information Collection: The Nutritional Epidemiology Branch of the
Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics of the National Cancer
Institute has planned this study to evaluate the feasibility of using
these three new computerized questionnaires as well as the Diet and
Health Questionnaire (DHQ), a well-established food frequency
questionnaire in a population of early-to-late-middle-aged men and
women. Participants will be asked to complete one of four different
series (pathways) of computerized questionnaires over a 90 day period,
with some questionnaires in a series being completed twice. This
evaluation study comprises the necessary performance and feasibility
tests for the new computerized questionnaires, which will provide an
opportunity to assess the possibility of administering computerized
questionnaires in future large prospective cohort studies. The
computerized questionnaires will support the ongoing examination
between cancer and other health outcomes with nutritional, physical
activity, and lifestyle exposures. The computerized questionnaires
adhere 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: Either 2 or 4 times, depending on
the pathway. Affected Public: Individuals. Type of Respondents: U.S.
adults (aged 50 and over). The annual reporting burden is displayed in
the table below. The estimated total annual burden hours being
requested is 2616. The annualized cost to respondents is estimated at:
$46,242. There are no
[[Page 49211]]
Capital Costs, Operating Costs, and/or Maintenance Costs to report.
