This latest ICR
request (i.e. to add on blood/DNA testing as part of this overall
generic ICR) is withdrawn per NIH request. Should NIH decide to
pursue this particular part of the study, NIH shall revise its
HIPAA and consent forms so that the study--as it is described on
those forms--is consistent with how it is described in the
supporting statement, particularly with regard to privacy protocols
(i.e. under what circumstances--and to whom--private health
information shall be disclosed) and the storage/banking of
specimens for future research. Moreover, the HIPAA and consent
forms shall be revised to better protect the privacy of
respondents' sensitive health information. Upon resubmission of
this ICR, NIH will have obtained IRB approval for these changes.
Previous terms of clearance remain in effect. NIH is also
authorized to carry on with other aspects of this generic clearance
which have already been approved. It is only the latest ICR request
that is withdrawn at this time.

U.S. radiologic technologists who are
participants in an ongoing cohort study will be asked to respond to
occasional surveys to ascertain incident cancers, benign conditions
associated with high risk of cancer, and selected other health
outcomes, as well as demographic, lifestyle, reproductive,
employment, and other characteristics that may influence health
risks. The primary aim of this project is to substantially increase
knowledge about the long-term health effect associated with
protracted low- to moderate-dose radiation exposures.

The previous annual burden was
29,500. We are now asking for 5,630, which is a minus 23,870. The
decrease relates to the fact that we plan to conduct only one
survey under this approval rather than the three requested under
the generic clearance.
