National Institutes of Health Proposed Collection; Comment Request; California Health Interview Survey Cancer Control Module (CHIS– CCM) 2009 (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: California Health Interview Survey Cancer Control Module (CHIS–CCM) 2009. Type of Information Collection Request: New. Need and Use of Information Collection: The NCI has sponsored four Cancer Control Modules in the California Health Interview Survey (CHIS), and will be sponsoring a fifth to be administered in 2009. CHIS is a telephone survey that collects population-based, standardized healthrelated 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 and subsequently in 2003 to 42,043 adults, in 2005 to 43,020 adults, and in 2007 to 48,150 adults. These adults are a representative sample of California’s non-institutionalized population living in households. CHIS 2009, the fifth biannual survey, is planned for administration to 55,000 adult Californians. This study will allow NCI to examine patterns and trends in cancer screening and follow-up, as well as to study other cancer-related topics such as tobacco control, diet, physical activity, and obesity. Additionally, CHIS is designed to be comparable to the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) data in order to conduct comparative analyses. CHIS provides enhanced estimates for cancer risk factors and screening among racial/ ethnic minority populations. Frequency of Response: Once. Affected public: Individuals or households. Types of Respondents: U.S. adults and adolescents (persons 12 years of age and older). The total annual burden hours requested are 3,276.94 (see Table A). The annualized cost to respondents is estimated at: $55,071.88. There are no Capital Costs, Operating Costs, and/or Maintenance Costs to report. jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES TABLE A—ANNUALIZED BURDEN ESTIMATES FOR CHIS 2009 Number of respondents Type of respondent Form type Adults ........................................................ ..............................................................

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:12 Aug 21, 2008 Jkt 214001 Average time per response (hours) Number of respondents Type of respondent PO 00000 Frm 00045 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Annual hour burden Description of Technology Cancer immunotherapy is a recent approach where tumor associated antigens (TAAs), which are primarily expressed in human tumor cells and not expressed or minimally expressed in normal tissues, are employed to generate a tumor specific immune response. Specifically, these antigens serve as targets for the host immune system and elicit responses that results in tumor destruction. The initiation of an effective T-cell immune response to antigens requires two signals. The first one is antigen specific via the peptide/ major histocompatibility complex and the second or ‘‘costimulatory’’ signal is required for cytokine production, proliferation, and other aspects of T-cell activation. The present technology describes recombinant poxvirus vectors encoding at least three or more costimulatory molecules and tumor associated antigens (TAAs). The use of three costimulatory molecules such as B7.1, ICAM–1 and LFA–3 (TRICOM) has been shown to act in synergy with several tumor antigens and antigen epitopes to activate T cells. The effects with TRICOM were significantly greater than with one or two costimulatory molecules. Laboratory results support the greater effect of TRICOM to activate both CD4∂ and CD8∂ T cells. The invention also describes the use of at least one target antigen or immunological epitope as an immunogen or vaccine in conjunction with TRICOM. The antigens include but are not limited to carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and MUC–1. The combination of CEA, MUC–1, and TRICOM is referred to as PANVAC. Availability The technology is available for exclusive and non-exclusive license in combinations and fields of use. Some potential licensing opportunities involving recombinant poxviral vectors containing transgenes are as follows: (1) TRICOM (alone or with a transgene for a tumor antigen and/or an immunostimulatory molecule); E:\FR\FM\22AUN1.SGM 22AUN1
