Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request; Pilot Research for
Epidemiologic Studies of Migrant and Seasonal Farmworkers
SUMMARY: Under the provisions of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) 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 October
24, 1996, page 55159, 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 Institutes of
Health may not conduct or sponsor, and the respondent is not required
to respond to, any information collection that has been extended,
revised, or implemented after October 1, 1995, unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number.
Proposed Collection
Title: Pilot Research for Epidemiologic Studies of Migrant and
Seasonal Farmworkers. Type of Information Collection Request: New. Need
and Use of Information Collection: A pilot study will be conducted to
evaluate the ability to trace farmworkers over extended periods of
time, to determine cancer diagnosis and treatment patterns among
migrant and seasonal farmworkers, and to assess the reliability of farm
work histories from farmworkers and from their spouses. The information
will be used by the NCI to identify the most appropriate study design,
case ascertainment procedures, and exposure assessment methods for a
full-scale epidemiologic study of cancer among migrant and seasonal
farmworkers. Determining the feasibility of using automated data
collection techniques to obtain occupational histories from farmworkers
will be part of this project. Frequency of Response: One-time study.
Affected public: Individuals or households. Type of Respondents:
Farmworkers and relatives. The annual reporting burden is as follows:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
