[FR Doc. 06–7574 Filed 9–6–06; 1:59 pm] BILLING CODE 4120–01–P DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES National Institutes of Health Proposed Data Collection; Comment Request; California Health Interview Survey 2007 Summary: In compliance with the requirement of section 3506 (c) (2) (A) of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 for opportunity for public comment on proposed data collection projects, National Cancer Institute (NCI), the National Institute 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. The first California Health Interview Survey (CHIS) Cancer Control Module (CCM) took place in 2001 (2000 CHIS CCM, OMB No. 0925–0478, Federal Register, May 8, 2000, Vol. 65, No. 89, p. 26620). The second survey took place in 2003 (2003 CHIS CCM, OMB No. 0925–0518, Federal Register, October 3, 2002, Volume 67, No. 192, pp. 62067– 62068) and the third in 2005 (2005 CHIS CCM, OMB No. 0925–0000, Federal Register, Vol. 69, No. 150, Aug. 5, 2004, pp. 47450–47451, and Federal Register, Vol. 70, No. 1, Jan. 3, 2005, pp. 93–94). Proposed Collection: Title: California Health Interview Survey (CHIS) 2007 Cancer Control Module (CCM). Type of Information Collection Request: New. Need and Use of Information Collection: The NCI has sponsored three Cancer Control Modules in the California Health Interview Survey (CHIS), and will be sponsoring a fourth to be administered in 2007. Other Federal government agencies have co-sponsored previous cycles of the survey. The CHIS is a telephone survey designed to provide 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 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, 5,801 adolescents, and 12,802 children; subsequently in 2003 to 42,043 adults, 4,010 adolescents, and 8,502 children; and in 2005 to 43,020 adults, 4,029 adolescents, and 11,358 children. These individuals are a representative sample of California’s non-institutionalized population living in households. CHIS 2007, the fourth bi-annual survey, is planned for administration to 48,000 adult Californians. The cancer control module, which is similar to that administered in CHIS 2001, CHIS 2003, and CHIS 2005, will allow NCI and other Federal agencies to examine various health- and disease-related topics. Examples include patterns and (when fielded in multiple years) trends in breast cancer screening, diet, physical activity, obesity, tobacco control and other disease risk factors, disease outcomes, discrimination, and neighborhood cohesion. Because California is the most populous and the most racially and ethnically diverse state in the nation, the CHIS 2007 sample will yield adequate numbers of respondents in key ethnic and racial groups, including African Americans, Latinos, Asians, and American Indian/Alaska Natives. The Latino group will include large numbers of respondents in the Mexican, Central American, South American, and other Latino subgroups; the Asian group will include large numbers of respondents in the Chinese, Filipino, Japanese, Vietnamese, and Korean subgroups. NCI and other Federal agencies will use the California and National Health Interview Survey (CHIS, NHIS) data to conduct comparative analyses and better estimate cancer risk factors and screening among racial/ethnic minority populations. The CHIS sample size also permits NCI and other federal agencies to obtain estimates for ethnic subdomains of the population, for which NHIS has insufficient numbers for analysis. Frequency of Response: One-time. Affected public: Individuals or households. Types of Respondents: U.S. adults (persons 18 years of age and older) and adolescents (persons of age 12–17 for whom the adult respondent is the parent or legal guardian of the adolescent residing in the household). The annual reporting burden is as follows.

Proposed Data Collection; Comment Request; California Health 
Interview Survey 2007

    Summary: In compliance with the requirement of section 3506 (c) (2) 
(A) of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 for opportunity for public 
comment on proposed data collection projects, National Cancer Institute 
(NCI), the National Institute 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.
    The first California Health Interview Survey (CHIS) Cancer Control 
Module (CCM) took place in 2001 (2000 CHIS CCM, OMB No. 0925-0478, 
Federal Register, May 8, 2000, Vol. 65, No. 89, p. 26620). The second 
survey took place in 2003 (2003 CHIS CCM, OMB No. 0925-0518, Federal 
Register, October 3, 2002, Volume 67, No. 192, pp. 62067-62068) and the 
third in 2005 (2005 CHIS CCM, OMB No. 0925-0000, Federal Register, Vol. 
69, No. 150, Aug. 5, 2004, pp. 47450-47451, and Federal Register, Vol. 
70, No. 1, Jan. 3, 2005, pp. 93-94).
    Proposed Collection: Title: California Health Interview Survey
