NCI's Cancer Information Service will collect demographic and smoking information from a sample of telephone and online clients. There will be 49,400 respondents annually for a total of 1823 burden hours.
Since our last submission in 2003, OMB has requested that the Average Time per Response be rounded up to intervals of one minute each. Thus, even though our estimated number of respondents has been reduced since the last submission and the actual time it takes to answer each of the questions has not changed, the rounding convention has resulted in an increased estimate of burden hours per respondent and overall annual burden (from 1,951 in 2003 to 2,616 for these same set of questions in this request for increase). However, the true burden to respondents has actually been reduced from 2003 to this request in 2006.
