The NPCR provides technical assistance and funding and sets program standards to assure that complete local, state, regional, and national cancer incidence data are available for national and state cancer control and prevention activities and health planning activities.

The NPCR–PEI is needed in order to receive, process, evaluate, aggregate, and disseminate NPCR program information. The information is used by CDC and the NPCR-funded registries to monitor progress toward meeting established program standards, goals, and objectives; to evaluate various attributes of the registries funded by NPCR; and to respond to data inquiries made by CDC and other agencies of the federal government. CDC requests OMB approval for a period of three years to collect information in the summer of 2009 and the summer of 2011. There are no costs to respondents except their time. The estimated annualized burden hours are summarized in the table below. 45 states, two territories, the District of Columbia, and the Pacific Islands. The National Cancer Institute supports the operations of CCRs in the five remaining states. Cancer registries currently submit information about registry operations to CDC on an annual basis via a secure, web-based Annual Program Evaluation Instrument (APEI) (OMB 0920–0706, exp. 12/31/2008). During the next OMB approval period, CDC proposes to change the data collection frequency from annual to every other year, with data collection occurring only in oddnumbered years. This change will reduce burden to respondents. The project title and the instrument will be revised to reflect the change in data collection frequency (from National Program of Cancer Registries Annual Program Evaluation Instrument (NPCR– APEI) to National Program of Cancer Registries Program Evaluation Instrument (NPCR–PEI)).

Proposed Project

    National Program of Cancer Registries Program Evaluation Instrument 
(NPCR-PEI)--Revision--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). The NPCR provides technical 
assistance and funding and sets program standards to assure that 
complete local, state, regional, and national cancer incidence data are 
available for national and state cancer control and prevention 
activities and health planning activities. As of 2008, CDC supports 49 
population-based central cancer registries (CCR) in 45 states, two 
territories, the District of Columbia, and the Pacific Islands. The 
National Cancer Institute supports the operations of CCRs in the five 
remaining states.
    Cancer registries currently submit information about registry 
operations to CDC on an annual basis via a secure, web-based Annual 
Program Evaluation Instrument (APEI) (OMB 0920-0706, exp. 12/31/2008). 
During the next OMB approval period, CDC proposes to change the data 
collection frequency from annual to every other year, with data 
collection occurring only in odd-numbered years. This change will 
reduce burden to respondents. The project title and the instrument will 
be revised to reflect the change in data collection frequency (from 
National Program of Cancer Registries Annual Program Evaluation 
Instrument (NPCR-APEI) to National Program of Cancer Registries Program 
Evaluation Instrument (NPCR-PEI)).
    The Program Evaluation Instrument (NCPR-PEI) includes questions 
about the following categories of registry operations: (1) Staffing, 
(2) legislation, (3) administration, (4) reporting completeness, (5) 
data exchange, (6) data content and format, (7) data quality assurance, 
(8) data use, (9) collaborative relationships, (10) advanced 
activities, (11) ``success stories'' that summarize ways in which CCR 
data are used, and (12) survey feedback. Examples of information that 
can be obtained from various questions include, but are not limited to: 
(1) Number of filled full-time staff positions by position 
responsibility; (2) legislation protecting the confidentiality of CCR 
data; (3) data quality control activities; (4) data collection 
activities as they relate to achieving NPCR standards for data 
completeness; and (5) whether or not registry data are used for 
comprehensive cancer control programs, needs assessment/program 
planning, clinical studies, or incidence and mortality estimates.
    The NPCR-PEI is needed in order to receive, process, evaluate, 
aggregate, and disseminate NPCR program information. The information is 
used by CDC and the NPCR-funded registries to monitor progress toward 
meeting established program standards, goals, and objectives; to 
evaluate various attributes of the registries funded by NPCR; and to 
respond to data inquiries made by CDC and other agencies of the federal 
government.
    CDC requests OMB approval for a period of three years to collect 
information in the summer of 2009 and the summer of 2011. There are no 
costs to respondents except their time.
    The estimated annualized burden hours are summarized in the table 
below.
