Submission for OMB review; comment request Health Information
National Trends Survey 4 (HINTS 4) (NCI)
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 April
22, 2011 (76 FR 22714) and allowed 60-days for public comment. One
public comment was received on April 23, 2011 which commented on the
number of previous surveys and expense. An e-mail response was sent on
April 25, 2011, stating, ``Thank you for your comments. We will take
your comments into consideration.'' 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: Health Information National Trends
Survey 4 (HINTS 4) (NCI) (OMB 0925-0538, Exp 11/30/2008). Type of
Information Collection Request: Reinstatement with Change. Need and Use
of Information Collection: HINTS 4 will provide NCI with a
comprehensive assessment of the American public's current access to,
and
[[Page 37357]]
use of, information about cancer across the cancer care continuum from
cancer prevention, early detection, diagnosis, treatment, and
survivorship. The content of the survey will focus on understanding the
degree to which members of the general population understand vital
cancer prevention messages. More importantly, this NCI survey will
couple knowledge-related questions with inquiries into the
communication channels through which understanding is being obtained,
and assessment of cancer-related behavior. The Public Health Services
Act, Sections 411 (42 U.S.C. 285a) and 412 (42 U.S.C. 285a-1.1 and
285a-1.3), outline the research and information dissemination mission
of the NCI which authorizes the collection of this information.
Frequency of Response: Once. Affected Public: Individuals. Type of
Respondents: U.S. adults (persons aged 18+). The annual reporting
burden is documented in the table below. There are no Capital Costs,
Operating Costs, and/or Maintenance Costs to report.
