 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:*
                         Tobacco Use Supplement to the Current Population Survey Series: 2006-2007 Tobacco Use Supplement to the Current Population Survey. *Type of information request:*
                         Reinstatement with Change of OMB #0925-0368, Expiration 01/31/2004. *Need and Use of Information Collection:*
                         The 2006-2007 Tobacco Use Supplement to the  Current Population Survey conducted by the Census Bureau will collect data from the civilian non-institutionalized population on tobacco use, smoking prevalence and attempts at cessation; workplace smoking policies; health professional advice to stop smoking; and changes in smoking norms and attitudes. This survey will provide invaluable information to government agencies and departments, other scientists and the general public necessary for tobacco control research, as well as measure progress toward 
                        ( print page 65907)
                        tobacco control as part of the National Cancer Institute's (NCI's) Cancer Progress Report, and the Department of Health and Human Services' Healthy People 2010 Goals. It is also relevant to past reports  of NCI plans for the National Investment in Cancer Research and NCI's long-term strategic plan for eliminating the suffering and death due to cancer. This survey is part of a continuing series of surveys that were sponsored by NCI and fielded periodically over the 1990's by the Census Bureau as part of the American Stop Smoking Intervention Study for Cancer Prevention (ASSIST) project and made available for general public use. The Tobacco Use Supplements since 2001-02 have been fielded and will be continuing over the next decade alternating between a standard or core tobacco use survey (such as this 2006-2007 survey) and a special topic survey focusing on emerging adult tobacco control issues (such as the 2003 Tobacco Use Special Cessation Supplement). The survey will allow state specific estimates to be made. Data will be collected in May 2006, August 2006 and January 2007 from approximately 285,000 respondents. The National Cancer Institute is co-sponsoring this survey with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. *Frequency of Response:*
                         One-time study. *Affected Public:*
                         Individuals or households. *Type of Respondents:*
                         Persons 15 years of age or older. The annual reporting burden is presented in exhibit 1 below. There are no Capital Costs, Operating Costs and/or Maintenance Costs to report. Exhibit 1.—Estimates of Respondent Hour Burden
