Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request; California Health
Interview Survey 2007
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 Sept. 11, 2006, p. 53456 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 2007.
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 cosponsored 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 samples
designed to provide statisticically
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, is the fourth bi-annual
survey, is planned for administration to
48,000 adult Californians and 4,000
adolescents. 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:
Estimated Number of Respondents:
48,000 Adults and 4,000 Adolescents.
Estimated Number of Response per
Respondent: 1.
Average Burden Hours per Response:
.1202 for Adults and .0134 for
Adolescents.
Estimated Total Burden Hours
Requested: 5,778 for Adults and 53.8 for
Adolescents. The annualized cost to
respondents is estimated at $98,629.451.
There are no Capital Costs to report.
There are no Operating or Maintenance
Costs to report.

National Cancer Institute; Call for
Nominations for the National Cancer
Institute Director’s Consumer Liaison
Group
The National Cancer Institute (NCI)
the Federal Government’s primary
agency for cancer research, is seeking
nominations for four (4) new members
of the NCI Director’s Consumer Liaison
Group (DCLG) which will be appointed
in July, 2007. The DCLG helps NCI to
identify appropriate advocates to serve
on its program and policy advisory
committees.
The National Cancer Institute (NCI)
formed the NCI Director’s Consumer
Liaison Group (DCLG) in 1998 to advise
and make recommendations to the NCI
Director, from the perspective and
viewpoint of cancer consumer
advocates, on a wide variety of issues,
programs, and research priorities. The
VerDate Aug<31>2005
15:08 Jan 30, 2007
Jkt 211001
DCLG gives cancer advocates a channel
to voice their views and concerns. The
DCLG is a 16-member chartered federal
advisory committee that works with NCI
to ensure that those who experience the
burden of cancer also help to shape the
course of the NCI’s research to eradicate
it. Specifically the DCLG members:
• Help develop and establish
processes, mechanisms and criteria for
identifying appropriate consumer
advocates to serve on a variety of
program and policy advisory
committees responsible for advancing
the mission of the NCI.
• Serve as a primary forum for
discussion issues and concerns and
exchanging viewpoints that are
important to the broad development of
the NCI programming and research
priorities.
• Establish and maintain strong
collaborations between the NCI and the
cancer advocacy community to reach
common goals.
Eligibility Requirements: NCI looks for
strong, highly qualified candidates who
fulfill the following eligibility criteria:
• Demonstrate involvement in the
cancer experience as a cancer survivor,
a caregiver to someone who has cancer,
or as a professional or volunteer who
works with cancer survivors, patients,
or caregivers;
• Have a constituency with which
she/he regularly communicates on
cancer issues and with which she/he is
able to serve as a conduit for
information, both to and from NCI.
Nominees who meet the minimum
eligibility requirements will be
evaluated further based on the following
qualities:
• Cancer advocacy experience; ability
to represent all cancer survivors;
• Possession of strong leadership,
communication, and collaboration
skills;
• Ability to advise on broad cross
cutting cancer issues;
• Ability to facilitate dialogue
between NCI and the cancer advocacy
community.
DCLG members must be committed to
participating in all activities of the
DCLG which includes at least two
meetings a year in Bethesda, MD.
Characteristics of the DCLG. In
addition to the criteria for individual
candidates, the following characteristics
of the DCLG as a group are balanced to
ensure that it reflects the breadth and
diversity of the consumer advocacy
community:
• Racial and ethnic balance
• A broad mix of cancer sites
• Expertise with advocacy
organizations (local, regional, or
national)
PO 00000
Frm 00045

• Geographical diversity
• Gender
• Age diversity
Selection Process. A call for
nominations is disseminated annually
to a broad range of groups, including
local, regional and national
organizations, to encourage nominations
of candidates reflecting the diversity
sought for the DCLG. Individuals may
nominate themselves. All nominees are
screened for eligibility, and then
evaluated according to the criteria. A
list of highly qualified candidates who
reflect balance and diversity of
representation is forwarded to the
Director, NCI who selects the DCLG
members. The original members of the
DCLG endorsed this process and the
criteria developed to evaluate the
applications of potential DCLG
members, and this process is used to
select future members.
To receive a nomination package for
the DCLG, send your name, advocacy/
voluntary organization affiliation (if
any), address, phone number and E-mail
