(SOL) 

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 Heart, Lung, and Blood 

Institute (NHLBI), 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: Hispanic Community 

Health Study (HCHS)/Study of Latinos 

(SOL). Type of Information Collection 

Request: Revision. OMB# 0925–0584, 

exp. 2/28/2011. Need and Use of 

Information Collection: The Hispanic 

Community Health Study (HCHS)/Study 

of Latinos (SOL) will identify risk 

factors for cardiovascular and lung 

disease in Hispanic populations and 

determine the role of acculturation in 

the prevalence and development of 

these diseases. Hispanics, now the 

largest minority population in the US, 

are influenced by factors associated 

with immigration from different cultural 

settings and environments, including 

changes in diet, activity, community 

support, working conditions, and health 

care access. This project is a 

multicenter, six-and-a-half year 

epidemiologic study and will recruit 

16,000 Hispanic men and women aged 

18–74 in four community-based cohorts 

in Chicago, Miami, San Diego, and the 

Bronx. The study will also examine 

measures of obesity, physical activity, 

nutritional habits, diabetes, lung and 

sleep function, cognitive function, 

hearing, and dental conditions. Closely 

integrated with the research component 

will be a community and professional 

education component, with the goals of 

bringing the research results back to the 

community, improving recognition and 

control of risk factors, and attracting and 

training Hispanic researchers in 

epidemiology and population-based 

research. Frequency of Response: The 

participants will be contacted annually. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households; Businesses or other for 

profit; Small businesses or 

organizations. Type of Respondents: 

Individuals or households; physicians. 

The annual reporting burden is as 

follows: Estimated Number of 

Respondents: 30,320; Estimated Number 

of Responses per Respondent: 2.238; 

Average Burden Hours Per Response: 

0.7161; and Estimated Total Annual 

Burden Hours Requested: 48,583. The 

annualized cost to respondents is 

estimated at $753,285, assuming 

respondents time at the rate of $15 per 

hour and physician time at the rate of 

$55 per hour. There are no Capital Costs 

to report. There are no Operating or 

Maintenance Costs to report.
