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). As of 2008, CDC supports 45 states, two territories, the District of Columbia, and the Pacific Island Jurisdictions’ unified Central Cancer Registry (CCR) for populationbased cancer registries. CCRs are the foundation of cancer prevention and control, providing information from reporting jurisdictions to ensure that high-quality and timely cancer surveillance data are available to CDC. CDC has collected program activity information from NPCR-funded registries on an annual basis. Beginning in 2009, CDC proposes to change the data collection frequency from annual to every other year, with data collection occurring only in odd-numbered years. Information will be collected electronically in 2009 and 2011 using the Web-based Program Evaluation Instrument (NPCR–PEI). The information will be used to evaluate various attributes of the registries funded by NPCR, monitor NPCR registries’ progress towards program standards and objectives, compare an individual NPCR registry’s progress towards standards with national program standards, and disseminate information about the NPCR. Continued clearance for a three-year period is requested. There are no costs to respondents except their time. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 50.

Proposed Project Transgender HIV Behavioral Survey (THBS)—New—National Center for HIV, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention request approval for a term of 2 years for a new project that will pilot a questionnaire and protocol for an HIV-related behavioral survey among transgender persons of color. The objectives of the pilot will be to assess the content of the questionnaire as well as the efficiency and feasibility of the methods for sampling and recruiting transgender persons. The goal of the survey is to inform health departments, community based organizations, community planning groups and other stakeholders: (a) The prevalence of risk behaviors, (b) the prevalence of HIV testing and HIV infection; (c) the prevalence of the use of HIV prevention services; and, (d) identify met and unmet needs for HIV prevention services. This project addresses the goals of CDC’s HIV Prevention Strategic Plan, specifically the goal of strengthening the national capacity to monitor the HIV epidemic to better direct and evaluate prevention efforts. Data will be collected through inperson and computer-assisted self interviews conducted in 4 Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSA) throughout the United States. The MSA chosen will be among those currently participating in the National HIV Behavioral Surveillance system (see Federal Register dated January 19, 2007: Vol. 72, No. 12, pages 2529–2530). A brief, inperson, computer-assisted screening interview will be used to determine eligibility for participation in the full survey. Data for the full survey will be collected using computer-assisted self interviews. Besides determining the content of the final survey instrument and the sampling methods, the data from the full survey will provide estimates of behavior related to the risk of HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases, prior testing for HIV, and use of HIV prevention services. No other federal agency systematically collects this type of information from transgender persons at risk for HIV infection. This data will have substantial impact on prevention program development and monitoring at the local, state, and national levels. CDC estimates that, in each year, THBS will involve eligibility screening of a total of 240 persons and will collect survey information from 200 eligible respondents. Thus, over the two year period 480 persons are estimated to complete the screener and 400 eligible respondents to complete the survey. Participation of respondents is voluntary and there is no cost to the respondents other than their time. The total annualized burden is 170 hours.

Background and Brief Description Every year, approximately 1.1 million Americans have a first or recurrent heart attack/myocardial infarction (MI) and about one third of these will be fatal. Early recognition of MI by both the victim and bystanders followed by prompt cardiac emergency and advanced care has a direct effect on patient outcomes; the shorter the delay to treatment, the better the outcomes. Research indicates that public recognition of major MI symptoms, and the need for immediate action by calling 9–1–1, is poor and that patient delay accounts for most of the lag in E:\FR\FM\24JYN1.SGM 24JYN1

objectives, compare an individual NPCR registry's progress towards 
standards with national program standards, and disseminate information 
about the NPCR. Continued clearance for a three-year period is 
requested.
    There are no costs to respondents except their time. The total 
estimated annualized burden hours are 50.
