Proposed Collection; Comment
Request; the Agricultural Health Study:
A Prospective Cohort Study of Cancer
and Other Disease Among Men and
Women in Agriculture (NCI)
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, the
National Cancer Institute (NCI), 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: The
Agricultural Health Study: A
Prospective Cohort Study of Cancer and
Other Disease Among Men and Women
in Agriculture (NCI) (OMB#: 0925–
0406). Type of Information Collection
Request: Renewal. Need and Use of
Information Collection: The purpose of
this information collection is to
continue and complete updating the
occupational and environmental
exposure information as well as medical
history information for respondents
enrolled in the Agriculture Health
Study. This represents a request to
continue and complete phase III (2005–
2008) of the study. Due to reduced
annual budgets for research, a delay in
data collection has resulted and there
has not been enough time to complete
the data collection on the number of
respondents that had been originally
requested in 2005 OMB submission. The
primary objectives of the study are to
determine the health effects resulting
from occupational and environmental
exposures in the agricultural
environment. The data will be collected
by using a computer assisted telephone
interview (CATI) system. A small
percentage of the respondents will also
be asked to participate in a buccal cell
collection which is a sample of loose
cells from the respondent’s mouth. The
findings will provide valuable
information concerning the potential
link between agricultural exposures and
cancer and other chronic diseases
among agricultural Health Study cohort
members, and this information may be
generalized to the entire agricultural
community. Frequency of Response:
Once. Affected Public: Private Sector,
Farms. Type of Respondents: Licensed
pesticide applicators and their spouses.
The annual reporting burden is as
follows:

The annualized cost to respondents is
estimated at: $109,652 each year for a
three year period. There are no capital
costs, operating costs, and/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, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used; (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
