Need and Use of Information Collection: The National Cancer Institute (NCI) currently collects (1) customer service and demographic information from clients of the Cancer Information Service (CIS) to properly plan, implement, and evaluate cancer education efforts, including assessing the extent by which the CIS reaches and impacts underserved populations; (2) smoking/tobacco use behavior of individuals seeking NCI's smoking cessation assistance through the CIS to provide smoking cessation services tailored to the individual client's needs and track their smoking behavior at follow up. This is a request for OMB to approve a revised submission for an additional three years to provide ongoing customer service collection of demographic information and collection of brief customer satisfaction questions from NCI Cancer Information Service Clients for the purpose of program planning and evaluation.
OMB approval is requested for 3 years. Respondents' only cost is their time. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 6,343.
