Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 83 / Friday, May 1, 2009 / Notices
Description: The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF), U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS), is conducting a
demonstration and evaluation called the
Community Healthy Marriage Initiative
(CHMI). Demonstration programs have
been funded through Healthy Marriage
and Responsible Fatherhood grants
authorized under section 403(a)(2) of
the Social Security Act to support
healthy marriage directly and to
encourage community changes that
increase support for healthy marriages
and improve child and family well-
being. The objective of the evaluation is
to: (1) Assess the implementation of
community interventions designed to
provide marriage education by
examining the way the projects operate
and by examining child support
outcomes among low-income families in
the community; and (2) evaluate the
community impacts of these
interventions on marital stability and
satisfaction, child well-being and child
support outcomes among low-income
families.
The purpose of this information
collection is to conduct a follow-up
survey of respondents from Wave 1 who
live in the communities where CHMI
demonstrations are operating, and a
survey of CR141 program participants.
The impact evaluation will assess the
effects of community healthy marriage
initiatives by comparing family and
child well-being outcomes in the CR141
communities with similar outcomes in
comparison communities that are well
matched to the demonstration project
sites.
Respondents: Community members
and program participants in CHMI
treatment and comparison communities.

Title: Summary Data Component,
National Child Abuse and Neglect Data
System (NCANDS).
OMB No.: 0980–0229.
Description: The Child Abuse and
Neglect Treatment Act (42 U.S.C. 5101
et seq.) as amended requires States to
annually work with the Secretary to
provide to the maximum extent
practical, a report that includes 12 data
items listed in the statute. The National
Child Abuse and Neglect Data System
(NCANDS), administered by the
Children’s Bureau, meets this reporting
requirement. In addition, the
amendments of 1988 require that the
data system shall be universal and case
specific and integrated with other casebased foster care and adoption data
collected by the Secretary. There are
two data components, the Detailed Case
Data Component (DCDC), which
includes the case-level data submitted
through the Child File and some
aggregated data submitted through the
Agency File, and the Summary Data
component (SC), which is used by
States that cannot submit case-level
data. No changes are being requested.
The Summary Data Component will be
phased out over the next few years as
the number of States that can complete
the Child File increases.
Respondents: State Child Welfare
Agencies.

Proposed Collection; Comment
Request; Collection of Customer
Service, Demographic, and Smoking/
Tobacco Use Information From NCI
Cancer Information Service (CIS)
Clients (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: Collection
of Customer Service, Demographic, and
Smoking/Tobacco Use Information from
NCI Cancer Information Service (CIS)
Clients. Type of Information Collection
Request: Revision of currently approved
collection 0925–0208 (expiration 09/30/
2009). Need and Use of Information
Collection: The National Cancer
Institute’s Cancer Information Service
(CIS) provides the latest information on
cancer, clinical trials, and tobacco
cessation in English and Spanish.
Clients are served by calling 1–800–4–
CANCER for cancer information; 1–877–
44U–QUIT for smoking cessation
services; and using the NCI’s LiveHelp,
a Web-based chat service. CIS currently
conducts a brief survey of a sample of
telephone and LiveHelp clients at the
end of usual service—a survey that
includes three customer service and
twelve demographic questions (age, sex,
race, ethnicity, education, household
income, number in household, and five
questions about health care/coverage).
Characterizing clients and how they
found out about the CIS is essential to
customer service, program planning,
and promotion. The NCI also conducts
a survey of individuals using the CIS’s
smoking cessation services—a survey
that includes 20 smoking/tobacco use
‘‘intake’’ questions that serve as a needs
assessment that addresses smoking
history, previous quit attempts, and
motivations to quit smoking. An
additional question is used with callers
who want to receive proactive call-back
services. Responses to these questions
enable Information Specialists to
provide effective individualized
counseling. Frequency of Response:
Once. Affected Public: Individuals or
households. Type of Respondents:
People with cancer; their relatives and
friends; and general public, including
smokers/tobacco users. Annualized
estimates for numbers of respondents
and respondent burden are presented in
Table 1.

follow-up question (at up to 4 callbacks).
