The form also asks the requestor to verify the information contained in the form because the information could be the basis for a determination of an alien child’s eligibility for federally funded benefits. Finally, the form takes into consideration the need to compile information regarding a child’s circumstances and experiences in a non- directive, child-friendly way, and assists the potential requestor in assessing whether the child may have been subjected to trafficking in persons. The information provided through the completion of a Request for Assistance for Child Victims of Human Trafficking form will enable HHS to make prompt determinations regarding the eligibility of an alien child for interim assistance, inform HHS’ determination regarding the child’s eligibility for assistance as a victim of a severe form of trafficking in persons, facilitate the required consultation process, and enable HHS to assess and address potential child protection issues. Respondents: Representatives of governmental and nongovernmental entities providing social, legal, or protective services to non-U.S. citizen (alien) individuals under the age of 18 (children) in the United States who may have been subjected to severe forms of trafficking in persons.

Background and Brief Description Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States, second only to heart disease. In 2005, the most recent year for which complete information is available, more than 500,000 people died of cancer and more than 1.34 million were diagnosed with cancer. In addition to the personal impact of cancer, the financial burden is also substantial. The direct treatment costs of cancer in 2008 have been estimated at $93.2 billion, with additional indirect costs of $134.9 billion in lost productivity due to illness and premature death. In 1992, Congress passed the Cancer Registries Amendment Act which established the National Program of Cancer Registries (NPCR). The NPCR provides support for central cancer registries (CCR) that collect, manage and analyze data about cancer cases. The NPCR-funded CCRs, which are located in states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories, report information to CDC annually through the National Program of Cancer Registries Cancer Surveillance System (NPCR CSS) (OMB No. 0920–0469, exp. 1/31/2010). CDC plans to request OMB approval to continue collecting this information for three years. The NPCR CSS allows CDC to collect, aggregate, evaluate and disseminate cancer incidence data at the national level. The NPCR CSS is the primary source of information for United States E:\FR\FM\27JYN1.SGM 27JYN1 37039 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 142 / Monday, July 27, 2009 / Notices Cancer Statistics (USCS), which CDC has published annually since 2002. The latest USCS report published in 2009 provided cancer statistics for 96% of the United States population from all cancer registries whose data met national data standards. Prior to the publication of USCS, cancer incidence data at the national level were available for only 14% of the population of the United States. The NPCR CSS also allows CDC to monitor cancer trends over time, describe geographic variation in cancer incidence throughout the country, and provide incidence data on minority populations and rare cancers. These activities and analyses further support CDC’s planning and evaluation efforts for state and national cancer control and prevention. In addition, datasets can be made available for secondary analysis. Puerto Rico, and the CCR that aggregates information from 10 flag territories and freely associated states in the Pacific Islands. In the previous OMB approval period, the territories, commonwealths, or freely-associated states were counted as individual respondents. In the next OMB approval period, the 10 flag territories, commonwealths, and freelyassociated states will be counted as one respondent to more accurately reflect funding, operations and actual response burden. States that receive sole funding from the National Cancer Institute are not included as respondents. The adjusted number of respondents will result in a reduction in the total estimated burden hours for the NPCR CSS. The estimated burden per response will not change. There are no costs to respondents except their time. Each responding CCR is asked 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., 2007). Because cancer incidence data are already collected and aggregated at the state level the additional burden of reporting the information to CDC is small. Information is transmitted to CDC electronically once per year. The Revision request will include changes.

Proposed Project

    National Program of Cancer Registries Cancer Surveillance System--
Revision--National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health 
Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States, 
second only to heart disease. In 2005, the most recent year for which 
complete information is available, more than 500,000 people died of 
cancer and more than 1.34 million were diagnosed with cancer. In 
addition to the personal impact of cancer, the financial burden is also 
substantial. The direct treatment costs of cancer in 2008 have been 
estimated at $93.2 billion, with additional indirect costs of $134.9 
billion in lost productivity due to illness and premature death.
    In 1992, Congress passed the Cancer Registries Amendment Act which 
established the National Program of Cancer Registries (NPCR). The NPCR 
provides support for central cancer registries (CCR) that collect, 
manage and analyze data about cancer cases. The NPCR-funded CCRs, which 
are located in states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories, 
report information to CDC annually through the National Program of 
Cancer Registries Cancer Surveillance System (NPCR CSS) (OMB No. 0920-
0469, exp. 1/31/2010). CDC plans to request OMB approval to continue 
collecting this information for three years.
    The NPCR CSS allows CDC to collect, aggregate, evaluate and 
disseminate cancer incidence data at the national level. The NPCR CSS 
is the primary source of information for United States

[[Page 37039]]

Cancer Statistics (USCS), which CDC has published annually since 2002. 
The latest USCS report published in 2009 provided cancer statistics for 
96% of the United States population from all cancer registries whose 
data met national data standards. Prior to the publication of USCS, 
cancer incidence data at the national level were available for only 14% 
of the population of the United States.
    The NPCR CSS also allows CDC to monitor cancer trends over time, 
describe geographic variation in cancer incidence throughout the 
country, and provide incidence data on minority populations and rare 
cancers. These activities and analyses further support CDC's planning 
and evaluation efforts for state and national cancer control and 
prevention. In addition, datasets can be made available for secondary 
analysis.
    Each responding CCR is asked 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., 2007). Because cancer incidence data are already collected and 
aggregated at the state level the additional burden of reporting the 
information to CDC is small. Information is transmitted to CDC 
electronically once per year.
    The Revision request will include changes. First, data definitions 
will be updated to reflect changes in national standards for cancer 
diagnosis and coding. In addition, the number of respondents will 
decrease. Respondents will be 45 stated-based CCRs, the CCR of the 
District of Columbia, the CCR of Puerto Rico, and the CCR that 
aggregates information from 10 flag territories and freely associated 
states in the Pacific Islands. In the previous OMB approval period, the 
territories, commonwealths, or freely-associated states were counted as 
individual respondents. In the next OMB approval period, the 10 flag 
territories, commonwealths, and freely-associated states will be 
counted as one respondent to more accurately reflect funding, 
operations and actual response burden. States that receive sole funding 
from the National Cancer Institute are not included as respondents. The 
adjusted number of respondents will result in a reduction in the total 
estimated burden hours for the NPCR CSS. The estimated burden per 
response will not change.
    There are no costs to respondents except their time.
