of the functions of the agency, including whether the information shall
have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of

Proposed Projects
The Incidence of Breast and Other Cancers among Female Flight
Attendants--New--National Institute for Occupational Safety band Health
(NIOSH)--Flight attendants experience exposures which may affect breast
cancer risk including exposure to elevated levels of cosmic radiation
and circadian rhythm disruption. This study will evaluate the incidence
of breast and other cancers among a cohort of approximately 10,000
women who were employed as flight attendants.
The occurrence of breast and other cancers will be obtained from
death certificates and from telephone interviews with living women and
next-of-kin of deceased women. Each interview will take approximately
60 minutes to complete. Medical records will be requested to confirm
cancer diagnoses. The primary analysis will evaluate the risk of breast
and other cancers associated with occupational exposure within the
cohort. The secondary analysis will compare the incidence of breast and
other cancers in the cohort to that in the general population, with
adjustment for factors which might increase cancer risk in the cohort
independent of occupational exposure to cosmic radiation and circadian
rhythm disruption. The total cost to respondents is estimated at
$165,400.
