Proposed Collection; Comment Request; Solar Cell: A Mobile UV
Manager for Smart Phones (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: Solar Cell: A Mobile UV Manager for
Smart Phones
[[Page 4335]]
(NCI). Type of Information Collection Request: New. Need and Use of
Information Collection: The overall goal of the study is to design a
smart phone application, Solar Cell, which uses smart phone technology
to aid users in protecting their skin from damaging ultraviolet
radiation (UV) in sunlight, a primary cause of skin cancer. The purpose
of this part of the study is to produce, deploy, and evaluate the
effectiveness of a state-of-the-art software application for smart
phones (i.e., mobile application), ``Solar Cell.'' This software
application supports decision-making related to sun protection and
exposure by Americans to reduce the risk of developing skin cancer
attributable to chronic and severe UV exposure and developing other
cancers attributable to vitamin D deficiency. The Solar Cell mobile
smart phone application combines personal and behavior data with geo-
spatial data (i.e., UV Index forecast, time, and location) and delivers
actionable sun protection advice to reduce risk of skin cancer.
Frequency of Response: Once. Affected Public: Individuals. Type of
Respondents: Adults (18 and over) from the U.S. population who own
Android smart phones. The annual reporting burden is estimated at 308
hours (see Table below). 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 should address one or more of the
following points: (1) Evaluate 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) Evaluate 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) Enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and
(4) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who
are to respond, including the use of appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms
of information technology.
