Prevention and Health Promotion

and Prevention (CDC).
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. 11/30/2012).
Central cancer registries report that
they are chronically understaffed, and
many registries are concerned about the
impact of staff shortages on data quality.
Staffing patterns are known to vary
widely from registry to registry, and
registries differ in the volume of 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, degree of
automation, and reporting procedures.
CDC proposes to conduct a one-time
Workload and Time Management
(WLM) Survey to inform the
development of staffing guidelines for
central cancer registries. Respondents
will be 46 cancer registrars in the NPCRfunded central cancer registries in 45
states and the District of Columbia.
Participation will be requested by email. Non-responders will receive
follow-up telephone calls to encourage
participation.
The WLM survey includes basic
questions about registry characteristics
such as organizational affiliation and
number of staff. The WLM also includes

30AUN1
52953
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 167 / Monday, August 30, 2010 / Notices
questions about the caseload for the
registry (the number of new cancer cases
reported annually), the sources of case
information, whether case information
is collected utilizing manual or
electronic methods, and the type of
software employed for electronic
collection. Because many tasks can be
performed manually or using electronic
methods, and because cancer coding
systems are frequently revised to reflect
changes in cancer diagnosis and care,
the WLM survey asks registry managers
to identify training needs that would
improve registry productivity, and to
provide comments about other resource
needs and management issues.
The web-based WLM Survey will also
collect information about the total
amount of time dedicated by registry
staff to specific activities such as case
finding, records abstraction, follow-up,
quality assurance, professional
development, travel, and death
clearances. In order to complete this
section of the WLM survey, detailed
information will be collected from
registry staff. An average of eight
registrars in each registry will be asked
to maintain a paper Work Activities
Journal for a one-week period. Each
registrar will record the number of
hours and minutes dedicated to case
finding, records abstraction, follow-up,
and quality assurance, and where
applicable, indicate whether tasks were
conducted manually or electronically.
In addition, each registrar will estimate
the amount of time dedicated to
auditing, database management,
professional development, travel, and
death clearances on a monthly or annual
basis. At the end of the one-week data
collection period, the registry manager
will compile information from all of the
Work Activities Journals completed by
the registry’s staff. The aggregate
information will be reported to CDC
through the WLM Survey. The
individual Work Activities Journals will
not be submitted to CDC.
Findings from 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. CDC plans to develop
guidance so that cancer registry
managers can more effectively measure
workload, evaluate the need for staff
and staff credentials, and advocate for
adequate staffing.
OMB approval is requested for one
year. Participation in the survey is
voluntary. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time. The
total estimated annualized burden hours
are 921.

Background and Brief Description

Proposed Project
The Public Health Services Act (42
U.S.C. 241) authorizes CDC to
disseminate nationally notifiable
condition information. CDC’s Morbidity
and Mortality Weekly Report publishes
incidence tables for nationally notifiable
conditions reported through the
National Electronic Disease Surveillance
System (NEDSS) and other surveillance
data sources to the National Notifiable
Diseases Surveillance System (NNDSS).
NEDSS (OMB 0920–0728, expiration
date: 2/28/2010) is an internet-based
infrastructure for public health
surveillance data exchange that uses
specific Public Health Information
Network (PHIN) and NEDSS electronic
data and information standards to
advance the development of efficient,
integrated, and interoperable
surveillance systems at federal, state
and local levels. CDC’s proposed Public

(PHSPO) is responsible for establishing
and managing the national reporting
system of epidemiologic data for
notifiable conditions (diseases) via
NEDSS.
Case notification messaging for most
of the nationally notifiable conditions
(77 infectious conditions as of August
2009) will eventually be supported by
the standard Health Level 7 v2.5 (HL7)
message format. The HL7 message
format requires a Message Mapping
Guide (MMG)—developed by the
NEDSS and NNDSS programs, in
collaboration with state and federal
subject matter experts—to implement
case notification to CDC via NEDSS. At
present, seven MMGs are available for
implementation by jurisdictions, and
current NEDSS resources support the
development of three new MMGs per
year. A jurisdiction’s implementation of
a MMG requires an average of four
months per MMG, and a jurisdiction
could potentially implement up to three
MMGs a year. In most instances,
National Center for Public Health
Informatics’ (NCPHI) programmatic and
technical expertise is required to
support this process at the jurisdictional
level.
