objectives, and their infrastructure and
operational attributes.
Central cancer registries report that
they are chronically understaffed, and
many registries are concerned about the
impact of staff shortages on data quality
standards. Staffing patterns are known
to vary widely from registry to registry,
and registries differ greatly in the
number of incidence cases that they
process as well as their use of
information technology. Cancer
registries have asked for clear staffing
guidelines based on registry
characteristics such as size (i.e., number
of new cases annually), degree of
automation, and registry-specific
reporting procedures.
CDC proposes to conduct a one-time
Workload Management Survey (WLM)
in 2010 to inform the development of
staffing guidelines for central cancer
registries. The WLM survey questions
do not duplicate the program and
performance indicator information
reported to CDC on a routine basis.
Respondents will be cancer registrars in
the NPCR-funded central cancer
registries in 45 States and the District of
Columbia. Cancer registrars at each
registry will maintain a paper-based
Work Activities Journal for a one-week
period. At the end of the week, the
registry manager will consolidate the
individual journal worksheets to
prepare an aggregate Workload
Management Survey for the registry,
which will be submitted to CDC
electronically.
Results of the WLM survey will
enable CDC to assess the workforce
necessary for meeting data reporting
requirements and to estimate the impact
of planned changes to surveillance data
reporting. Finally, CDC will develop
specific guidance so that cancer registry
managers can more effectively measure
workload, evaluate the need for staff
and staff credentials, and advocate for
adequate staffing.
Participation in the survey is
voluntary. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time.

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology. Written comments should

Background and Brief Description
CDC currently supports the National
Program of Cancer Registries (NPCR), a
group of central cancer registries in 45
States, the District of Columbia, and 2
territories. The central cancer registries
are data systems that collect, manage,
and analyze data about cancer cases and
cancer deaths. NPCR-funded central
cancer registries submit populationbased cancer incidence data to CDC on
an annual basis (OMB No. 0920–0469,
exp. 1/31/2010). In addition, NPCRfunded registries submit program and
performance indicator information to
CDC on a semi-annual schedule (OMB
No. 0920–0706, exp. 12/31/2011). CDC
uses the performance indicators to
evaluate the registries’ use of funds,
