 SUMMARY: Under the provision of section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Cancer Institute (NCI), 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 June 28, 2007, page 43609 and allowed 60-days for public comment. One public comment was received asking about the possibility of doing studies of autism rather than the proposed survey. The comment was out of the scope of this current project. 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:*
                         Physician Survey of Practices on Diet, Physical Activity, and Weight Control. *Type of Information Collection Request:*
                         NEW. *Need and Use of Information Collection:*
                         This study will obtain current, national data on primary care physicians' knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to diet, physical activity, and weight control. Obesity, poor diet, and lack of physical activity are becoming recognized as major public health problems in the United States, and have been linked to increased risk, adverse prognosis, and poor quality of life for cancer and many other chronic diseases. The data collected in this study will support and further NCI work in monitoring and evaluating providers' cancer prevention knowledge, attitudes, and practices and their impact on pupulation health, as well as enable monitoring of progress toward major cancer control goals. Data from the survey will be used to profile existing physician practice, understand barriers to counseling and referral, and to inform methods for improving the utilization of these services for adults and children. Two questionnaires, one sent to physicians and one sent to their practice administrators, will be administered by mail or telephone to a randomly-selected national sample of 2,000 physicians belonging to primary care specialties. Study participants will be 2,000 practicing physicians who are family practitioners, general internists, pediatricians, and obstetrician/gynecologists and 2,000 practice administrators. The annual reporting burden is as follows: 
                        *Estimated Number of Respondents:*
                         4,000; 
                        *Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent:*
                         1; 
                        *Average Burden Hours Per Response:*.333; and 
                        *Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours, Requested:*
                         1,332. The annualized cost to respondents is estimated at: $65,048. There are no Capital Costs to report. There are no Operating or Maintenance Costs to report. Type of respondent
