Proposed Project Vital Statistics Training Application, OMB No. 0920–0217—Revision exp. 5/ 31/2013—National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description In the United States, legal authority for the registration of vital events, i.e., births, deaths, marriages, divorces, fetal deaths, and induced terminations of pregnancy, resides individually with the States (as well as cities in the case of New York City and Washington, DC) and Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. These governmental entities are the full legal proprietors of vital records and the information contained therein. As a result of this State authority, the collection of registration-based vital statistics at the national level, referred to as the U.S. National Vital Statistics System (NVSS), depends on a cooperative relationship between the States and the Federal government. This data collection, authorized by 42 U.S.C. 242k, has been carried out by NCHS since it was created in 1960. NCHS assists in achieving the comparability needed for combining data from all States into national statistics, by conducting a training program for State and local vital statistics staff to assist in developing expertise in all aspects of vital registration and vital statistics. The training offered under this program includes courses for registration staff, statisticians, and coding specialists, all designed to bring about a high degree of uniformity and quality in the data provided by the States. This training program is authorized by 42 U.S.C. 242b, section 304(a). NCHS notifies State and local vital registration officials, as well as Canadian counterparts, about upcoming training. Individual candidates for training then submit an application form including name, address, occupation, and other relevant information. NCHS is requesting 3 years of OMB clearance for these training application forms. There is no cost to respondents other than their time.

This proposed information collection was previously published in the Federal Register on July 16, 2012 (FR 77, 41791) and allowed 60-days for public comment. One public comment was received and a response was sent. The comment referenced alternative research that is unrelated to cancer screening. The purpose of this notice is to allow an additional 30 days for public comment. The National Institutes of Health may not conduct or sponsor, and the respondent is not required to respond to, an information collection that has SUMMARY: been extended, revised, or implemented on or after October 1, 1995, unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. Written comments and/or suggestions regarding the item(s) contained in this notice, especially regarding the estimated public burden and associated response time, should be directed to the Attention: NIH Desk Officer, Office of Management and Budget, at OIRA_submission@omb.eop.gov or by fax to 202–395–6974. To request more information on the proposed project or to obtain a copy of the data collection plans and instruments, contact Dr. Christine D. Berg, Chief, Early Detection Research Group, National Cancer Institute, NIH, EPN Building, Room 3100, 6130 Executive Boulevard, Bethesda, MD 20892, or call non-tollfree number 301–496–8544 or email your request, including your address to: bergc@mail.nih.gov. Comments regarding this information collection are best assured of having their full effect if received within 30 days of the date of this publication. Proposed Collection: Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovarian Cancer Screening Trial (PLCO), OMB No: 0925– 0407, Expiration Date 9/30/2014, Revision, National Cancer Center (NCI), National Institutes of Health (NIH). Need and Use of Information Collection: This trial was designed to determine if screening for prostate, lung, colorectal, and ovarian cancer can reduce mortality from these cancers which currently cause an estimated 255,700 deaths annually in the U.S. The design is a two-armed randomized trial of men and women aged 55 to 74 at entry. OMB first approved this study in 1993 and has approved it every 3 years since then through 2014. During the first approval period a pilot study was conducted to evaluate recruitment methods and data collection procedures. Recruitment was completed in 2001, screening was completed in 2006, and data collection continues through 2016. When participants enrolled in the trial they agreed to be followed for at least 13 years from the time of enrollment. In 2011, participants were re-consented for at least an additional five years of follow-up. The current number of respondents is limited to the approximately 94,000 participants being actively followed up. This is down from the initial total. The reports on screening and prostate, lung, colorectal and ovarian cancer mortality based on this trial have been published in peer review medical journals. The additional follow-up will provide data that will clarify further the long term effects of the screening on cancer incidence and mortality for the four targeted cancers. Further, demographic and risk factor information may be used to analyze the differential effectiveness of screening in high versus low risk individuals. OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 31,813.
