information collection requests under
review by the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) in compliance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35). To request a copy of these
requests, call the CDC Reports Clearance
Officer at (404) 639–5960 or send an email to omb@cdc.gov. Send written

Proposed Project
National Program of Cancer
Registries—Cancer Surveillance
System—Extension (OMB number
0920–0469)-National Center for Chronic
Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The American Cancer Society
estimated that about 1.37 million
Americans were newly diagnosed with
cancer in 2005 and that about 570,000
died from cancer in that same year. The
National Institutes of Health estimates
that in 2005, the cost of cancer was
about $209 billion, including $74 billion
direct costs to treat cancer, and $136
billion indirect costs in lost productivity
due to illness and premature death.
In 2002, CDC implemented the
National Program of Cancer Registries
(NPCR)—Cancer Surveillance System
(CSS) to collect, evaluate and
disseminate cancer incidence data
collected by population-based cancer
registries. In 2002, CDC began annually
publishing United States Cancer
Statistics (USCS). The latest USCS
report published in 2005 provided
cancer statistics for 93% of the United
States population from all cancer
registries whose data met national data
standards. Prior to the publication of
USCS, at the national level, cancer
incidence data were available for only
14% of the population of the United
States.
With this expanded coverage of the
U.S. population, it will now be possible
to better describe geographic variation
in cancer incidence throughout the
country and provide incidence data on
minority populations and rare cancers
to further plan and evaluate state and
national cancer control and prevention
efforts.
Therefore, CDC’s Division of Cancer
Prevention and Control proposes to
continue to aggregate existing cancer
incidence data from states funded by the
National Program of Cancer Registries
into a national surveillance system.
These data are already collected and
aggregated at the state level, thus, the
additional burden for the states is small.
Funded states are asked to continue to
report cancer incidence data to CDC on
an annual basis. Each state is requested
to report a cumulative file containing
incidence data from the first diagnosis
year for which the cancer registry
collected data with the assistance of
NPCR funds (e.g., 1995) through 12
months past the close of the most recent
diagnosis year (e.g., 2004).
NCCDPHP is requesting a 3 year
clearance for this project. The total
number of eligible respondents is 63
which includes 50 States, 12 territories,
and the District of Columbia. The total
estimated annualized burden hours are
126 (i.e., 2 hours per respondent). There
are no costs to the respondents other
than their time.

Background and Brief Description
The proposed project will focus on
travelers visiting friends and relatives
(VFR) in Latin America. An estimated
44% of all international travel is VFR
related. Although multiple definitions
exist, VFR travelers typically refer to
those who were born in a resource-poor
country, now living in a resource-rich
country, and returning to their country
of birth to visit friends and relatives.
VFR travelers have received particular
attention recently for being at higher
risk than other travel groups for
acquiring communicable diseases
during visit to their home countries.
However, there are few studies that

Tularemia, Typhoid Fever, and Viral
Hepatitis. Tularemia and MethicillinResistant Staphylococcus aureaus
(MRSA) are new additions to this
submission. Case report forms from state
and territorial health departments
enable CDC to collect demographic,
clinical, and laboratory characteristics
of cases of these diseases. This
information is used to direct
epidemiologic investigations, identify
and monitor trends in reemerging
infectious diseases or emerging modes
of transmission, to search for possible
causes or sources of the diseases, and
develop guidelines for prevention and
treatment. The data collected will also
be used to recommend target areas most
in need of vaccinations for selected
diseases and to determine development
of drug resistance.
Because of the distinct nature of each
of the diseases, the number of cases
reported annually is different for each.
There is no cost to respondents other
than their time. The total annual burden
hours are 13,371.
Background and Brief Description
Formal surveillance of 19 separate
reportable diseases has been ongoing to
meet the public demand and scientific
interest in accurate, consistent,
epidemiologic data. These ongoing
disease reports include: Active Bacterial
Core Surveillance (ABCs), CreutzfeldtJakob Disease(CJD), Cyclospora, Dengue,
