The purpose of this request is to reinstate OMB clearance of the National Youth Tobacco Survey, a national school-based study to be conducted in 2006. NCCDPHP wants to continue a biennial survey among middle and senior high school students attending regular public, private, and Catholic schools in grades 6–12. This survey was previously funded by the American Legacy Foundation in 1999, 2000, and 2002. The survey was funded by CDC in 2004. The survey covers the following tobacco-related topics: The prevalence of use of cigarettes, smokeless tobacco, cigars, pipe, bidis, and kreteks; knowledge and attitudes; media and advertising; minors’ access and PO 00000 Frm 00061 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 enforcement; school curriculum; environmental tobacco smoke exposure; and cessation. Tobacco use, a major preventable cause of morbidity and mortality in the U.S., is one of the 28 focus areas in Healthy People 2010. Within the Healthy People 2010 focus area of tobacco use, the National Youth Tobacco Survey provides data relevant to 6 health objectives. The survey also provides data to monitor one of the 10 leading health indicators for Healthy People 2010 that addresses tobacco use. In addition, the National Youth Tobacco Survey can identify racial and ethnic disparities in tobacco-related topics listed above. The National Youth Tobacco Survey is the most comprehensive source of nationally representative data regarding high school students and tobacco. Moreover, the National Youth Tobacco Survey is the only source of such national data for middle school students (grades 6–8). The data have significant implications for policy and program development for school and community health programs nationwide. There is no other cost to respondents other than their time. The total annual burden hours is 18,643. E:\FR\FM\16NON1.SGM 16NON1

Proposed Project

    National Program of Cancer Registries Annual Program Evaluation 
Instrument (NPCR-APEI)--New--National Center for Chronic Disease 
Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control 
and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    CDC is responsible for administering and monitoring the National 
Program of Cancer Registries (NPCR). As of 1999, CDC supported 45 
states, 3 territories, and the District of Columbia for population-
based cancer registries. (The 5 remaining states receive federal 
funding for the operations of cancer registries through the National 
Cancer Institute.) The central cancer registries (CCR), the foundation 
of cancer prevention and control, provide information from the 
reporting jurisdictions and insure that quality and timely cancer 
surveillance data are available to CDC.
    The NPCR Annual Program Evaluation Instrument (NPCR-APEI) is needed 
in order to receive, process, evaluate, aggregate and disseminate NPCR 
program information collected by NPCR registries and reported to CDC. 
Data collected with this instrument will be used by the NPCR to 
evaluate various attributes of the registries funded by NPCR, monitor 
NPCR registries' progress towards program standards and objectives, and 
compare an individual NPCR registry's progress towards standards with 
national program standards as well as those of SEER and NAACCR. There 
are no costs to respondents except their time to participate in the 
survey. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 74.
