National Institutes of Health 

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request; Collection of 

Customer Service, Demographic, and 

Smoking/Tobacco Use Information 

From NCI Cancer Information Service 

(CIS) Clients (NCI) 

Summary: Under the provisions of 

Section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, the National 

Cancer Institute (NCI), the National 

Institutes of Health (NIH), has submitted 

to the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) a request to review and approve 

the information collection listed below. 

This proposed information collection 

was previously published in the Federal 

Register on May 1, 2009, (Vol. 74, No. 

83, p. 20320) and allowed 60 days for 

public comment. One public comment 

was received on May 1, 2009 requesting 

a copy of the data collection plans. An 

e-mail response was sent on May 5, 

2009, which included the Supporting 

Statements and the screenshots of the 

surveys. 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: Collection 

of Customer Service, Demographic, and 

Smoking/Tobacco Use Information from 

NCI Cancer Information Service (CIS) 

Clients (NCI) Type of Information 

Collection Request: Revision. Need and 

Use of Information Collection: The 

National Cancer Institute’s Cancer 

Information Service (CIS) provides the 

latest information on cancer, clinical 

trials, and tobacco cessation in English 

and Spanish. Clients are served by 

calling 1–800–4–CANCER for cancer 

information; 1–877–44U–QUIT for 

smoking cessations services; and using 

the NCI’s LiveHelp, a web-based chat 

service. CIS currently conducts a brief 

survey of a sample of telephone and 

LiveHelp clients at the end of usual 

service—a survey that includes three 

customer service and twelve 

demographic questions (age, sex, race, 

ethnicity, education, household income, 

number in household, and five 

questions about health care/coverage). 

Characterizing clients and how they 

found out about the CIS is essential to 

customer service, program planning, 

and promotion. The NCI also conducts 

a survey of individuals using the CIS’s 

smoking cessation services—a survey 

that includes 20 smoking/tobacco use 

‘‘intake’’ questions that serve as a needs 

assessment that addresses smoking 

history, previous quit attempts, and 

motivations to quit smoking. An 

additional question is used with callers 

who want to receive proactive call-back 

services. Responses to these questions 

enable Information Specialists to 

provide effective individualized 

counseling. Frequency of Response: 

Once. Affected Public: Individuals or 

households. Type of Respondents: 

People with cancer; their relatives and 

friends; and general public, including 

smokers/tobacco users. Annualized 

estimates for numbers of respondents 

and respondent burden are presented in 

the table below.
