across their lives and that the positive
and negative effects of health and health
behaviors are cumulative across a
woman’s life.

two offer graduate degrees. Tribal
colleges are fully accredited by regional

lack of health insurance/under-insured.
Women-centered/women-focused:
Addressing the needs and concerns of

Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request; Request for
Generic Clearance To Conduct
Voluntary Customer/Partner Surveys
SUMMARY: Under the provisions of
section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the National
Library of Medicine (NLM), 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 January 27, 2006, in Volume
71, No. 18, page 4594 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 Library of Medicine 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: Voluntary Customer Satisfaction
Surveys.
Type of Information Collection
Request: Extension. OMB Control No.
0925–0476, with an expiration date of
May 31, 2006.
Need and Use of Information
Collection: Executive Order 12962
directs agencies that provide significant
services directly to the public to survey
customers to determine the kind and
quality of services they want and their
level of satisfaction with existing
services. Additionally, since 1994, the
NLM has been a ‘‘Federal Reinvention
Laboratory’’ with a goal of improving its
methods of delivering information to the
public. An essential strategy in
accomplishing reinvention goals is the
ability to periodically receive input and
feedback from customers about the
design and quality of the services they
receive.
The NLM provides significant
services directly to the public, including
health providers, researchers,
universities, other federal agencies, state
and local governments, and to others
through a range of mechanisms,
including publications, technical
assistance, and Web sites. These
services are primarily focused on health
and medical information dissemination
activities. The purpose of this
submission is to obtain OMB’s generic
approval to conduct satisfaction surveys
of NLM’s customers. The NLM will use
the information provided by individuals
and institutions to identify strengths
and weaknesses in current services and
to make improvements where feasible.
The ability to periodically survey NLM’s
customers is essential to continually
update and upgrade methods of
providing high quality service.
Frequency of Response: Annually or
biennially.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households; businesses or other for
profit; state or local governments;
Federal agencies; non-profit institutions;
small businesses or organizations.
Type of Respondents: Organizations,
medical researchers, physicians and
other health care providers, librarians,
students, and the general public.
Annual reporting burden is as follows:
Estimated Number of Respondents:
19,758.
Estimated Number of Responses per
Respondent: 1.

Average Burden Hours Per Response:

Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours Requested: 2680. The annualized
cost to respondents is estimated at
$42,451. There are no capital costs to
report. There are no operating or
maintenance costs to report.
Request for Comments: Written
comments and/or suggestions from the
public and affected agencies are invited
on one or more of the following points:
(1) Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the function of the
agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(2) The accuracy of the agency’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information; (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.
Direct Comments to OMB: Written
comments and/or suggestions regarding
the item(s) in this notice, especially
regarding the estimated public burden
and associated response time, should be

Proposed Collection; Comment
Request; CERTAS: A Researcher
Configurable Self-Monitoring System
SUMMARY: In compliance with the
requirement of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
for opportunity for public comment
proposed data collection projects, the
National Cancer Institute (NCI) and the
National Institutes of Health (NIH) will
publish periodic summaries of proposed
projects to be submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and approval.
Proposed Collection
Title: CERTAS: A Researcher
Configurable Self-Monitoring System.
Type of Information Collection
Request: NEW.
Need and Use of Information
Collection: This study seeks to further
our understanding of the usefulness and
potential advantages of electronic selfmonitoring of behavior-specifically diet
and exercise behaviors associated with
reduction of cancer risks. Logs, diaries,
checklists and other self-monitoring
tools are an ubiquitous part of nearly all
cancer control research. The primary
objective of this study trial is to
compare paper-based self-monitoring to
CERTAS self-monitoring devices
(wireless sync and local sync) in a range
of cancer risk behaviors. The findings
will provide valuable information
regarding: (1) A comparison of the real
time recording compliance of these
methods, (2) the pre-post effects of each
type of recording (paper versus
electronic), and (3) the relative cost per
valid recorded entry for the two
methods.
Frequency of Response: Daily.
Affected Public: Individuals.
Type of Respondents: Males and
females 18 years of age or older who are:
(1) Interested in improving their diet
and exercise behaviors as they relate to
cancer prevention, (2) proficient in
utilizing a computer, and (3) generally
healthy with no medical conditions
which would require a special diet or
preclude regular exercise. The present
study includes pre-post tests and a four
week comparative trial. The pre-post
tests involve the completion of selfadministered questionnaires on diet and
physical activity as well as body
measurements (i.e. height, weight,
waist, hips). The pre-test visit will also
include a review of the study
information and informed consent. A
usability interview of the selfmonitoring method will conclude the
post-test. The two office visits for the
pre-post tests will take approximately
one hour per visit. The four week
comparative trial has a total of onehundred and twelve possible responses
(4 responses per 28 days; about 8
minutes per day).
The annual reporting burden is as
follows:
Estimated Number of Respondents:
200.
Estimated Number of Responses per
Respondent: 3.
Average Burden Hours Per Response:
1.9, and
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours Requested: 1,148. There are no
Capital Costs, Operating Costs, and/or
Maintenance Costs to report.
