DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
National Institutes of Health
Submission for OMB Review; 30-Day Comment Request The Sister
Study: A Prospective Study of the Genetic and Environmental Risk
Factors for Breast Cancer (NIEHS)
SUMMARY: Under the provisions of Section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has
submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a request for
review and approval of the information collection listed below. This
proposed information collection was previously published in the Federal
Register on 02 December 2015, Vol. 80, page 75465 and allowed 60-days
for public comment. No public comments were received The purpose of
this notice is to allow an additional 30 days for public comment. The
National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), 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.
Direct Comments to OMB: Written comments and/or suggestions
regarding the item(s) contained in this notice, especially regarding
the estimated public burden and associated response time, should be
directed to the: Office of Management and Budget, Office of Regulatory
Affairs, [email protected] or by fax to 202-395-6974,
Attention: NIH Desk Officer.
DATES: Comment Due Date: Comments regarding this information collection
are best assured of having their full effect if received within 30-days
of the date of this publication.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To obtain a copy of the data
collection plans and instruments or request more information on the
proposed project contact: Dr. Dale P. Sandler, Chief, Epidemiology
Branch, NIEHS, Rall Building A3-05, P.O. Box 12233, Research Triangle
Park, NC 27709, or call non-toll free number (919)-541-4668 or Email
your request, including your address to: [email protected]. Formal
requests for additional plans and instruments must be requested in
writing.
Proposed Collection: Revision: The Sister Study: A Prospective
Study of the Genetic and Environmental Risk Factors for Breast Cancer,
0925-0522, National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS),
National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Need and Use of Information Collection: This is to continue the
long-term follow-up of the Sister Study--a study of genetic and
environmental risk factors for the development of breast cancer in a
high-risk cohort of sisters of women who have had breast cancer. The
etiology of breast cancer is complex, with both genetic and
environmental factors likely playing a role. Environmental risk
factors, however, have been difficult to identify. By focusing on
genetically susceptible subgroups, more precise estimates of the
contribution of environmental and other non-genetic factors to disease
risk may be possible. Sisters of women with breast cancer are one group
at increased risk for breast cancer; we would expect at least 2 times
as many breast cancers to accrue in a cohort of sisters as would accrue
in a cohort identified through random sampling or other means. In
addition, a cohort of sisters should be enriched with regard to the
prevalence of relevant genes and/or exposures, further enhancing the
ability to detect gene-environment interactions. Sisters of women with
breast cancer will also be at increased risk for ovarian cancer and
possibly for other hormonally-mediated diseases. From August 2003
through July 2009, we enrolled a cohort of 50,884 women who had not had
breast cancer. We estimated that after the cohort was fully enrolled,
approximately 300 new cases of breast cancer will be diagnosed during
each year of follow-up. Thus far 2,904 participants have reported being
diagnosed with breast cancer.
OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized
burden hours are 16,350.
