E9-19022. Submission for OMB review; Comment Request; 24-hour Dietary Recall Method Comparison and the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Validation and Observational Feeding Studies

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 June 3, 2009 (74 FR 26702) and allowed 60-days for public comment. One public comment was received on June 5 requesting a copy of the data collection plans. The plans were sent to the responder on June 10. 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: 24-hour Dietary Recall Method Comparison and the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Validation and Observational Feeding Studies. Type of Information Collection Request: NEW. Need and Use of Information Collection: The objective of the two studies is to compare the performance of the newly developed computerized Automated Self-Administered 24-Hour Recall (ASA24) approach to collecting 24-hour recall (24HR) data with the current standard, the interviewer-administered Automated Multiple Pass Method (AMPM). The ultimate goal is to determine to what extent the new automated instrument can be used instead of the more expensive interviewer-administered instrument in the collection of dietary intake data. Frequency of Response: Twice. Affected Public: Individuals. Type of Respondents: For the 24-hour Dietary Recall Method Comparison study, approximately 1,200 adult members from three health maintenance organization plans (in Minnesota, California, and Michigan) between ages 20 and 70 years. For the NCI Observational Feeding Study, approximately 90 adult residents from the Washington, DC metropolitan area between ages 20 and 70 years. The annual reporting burden is estimated at 1052 hours (see table below). This amounts to an estimated 2105 burden hours over the 2-year data collection period with a total cost to the respondents $37,210. There are no Capital costs, Operating costs, and/or Maintenance Costs to report.
