Proposed Project National Program of Cancer Registries Program Evaluation Instrument (NPCR– PEI) (OMB No. 0920–0706, exp. 12/31/ 2011)—Reinstatement—National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description The National Program of Cancer Registries (NPCR), administered by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), was established to PO 00000 Frm 00036 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 66467 provide funding for states and territories to: (1) Improve existing state-based cancer registries; (2) plan and implement registries where none existed; (3) develop model legislation and regulations for states to enhance the viability of registry operations; (4) set standards for data completeness, timeliness, and quality; (5) provide training for registry personnel; and (6) help establish a computerized reporting and data-processing system. Through the NPCR, CDC currently supports 48 population-based central cancer registries (CCR) in 45 states, one territory, the District of Columbia, and the Pacific Islands. The National Cancer Institute supports the operations of CCR in the five remaining states. Through the NPCR, CDC provides technical assistance and funding and sets program standards to assure that complete cancer incidence data are available for national and state cancer control and prevention activities and other health planning activities. NPCRfunded CCR are the primary source of cancer surveillance data for United States Cancer Statistics (USCS), which CDC has published annually since 2002. Over a 17-year period, CDC has collected information from NPCR grantees to monitor their performance in meeting the required Program Standards (NPCR Program Evaluation Instrument, OMB No. 0920–0706, exp. 12/31/2011). The NPCR Program Evaluation Instrument (PEI) is a secure, web-based method of collecting information about registry operations, including: Staffing, legislation, administration, reporting completeness, data exchange, data content and format, data quality assurance, data use, collaborative relationships, advanced activities, and survey feedback. Examples of information that can be obtained from various questions include, but are not limited to: (1) The number of filled fulltime staff positions by position responsibility, (2) data quality control activities, (3) data collection activities as they relate to achieving NPCR standards for data completeness, (4) electronic reporting, (5) linkage with other databases and (6) whether registry data are used for comprehensive cancer control program planning and evaluation. The most recent PEI reports were submitted to CDC in 2011. Since 2009, data collection had been conducted on a biennial schedule in odd-numbered years. In late 2011, CDC discontinued the NPCR PEI clearance in preparation for a review of program standards. At this time, CDC seeks OMB approval to reinstate the NPCR PEI clearance.

Proposed Project Information Collection on foreignborn, migrant, refugee and other mobile populations with current or future ties to the United States—New—National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (NCEZID), Division of Global Migration and Quarantine (DGMQ), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:30 Nov 02, 2012 Jkt 229001 The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (NCEZID), Division of Global Migration and Quarantine (DGMQ), requests approval of a new ‘‘generic clearance’’ to better understand the health status, risk factors for disease and other health outcomes among foreignborn, migrant, refugee and other mobile populations with current or future ties to the United States. Insights gained from information collections will assist in the planning, implementation and improvement of disease prevention and control activities. The information collection for which approval is sought is in accordance with DGMQ’s mission to reduce morbidity and mortality among immigrants, refugees, travelers, expatriates, and other globally mobile populations, and to prevent the introduction, transmission, or spread of communicable diseases from foreign countries into the United States. This mission is supported by delegated legal authorities. Section 361 of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C. 264) authorizes the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) to make and enforce regulations necessary to prevent the introduction, transmission, or spread of communicable diseases from foreign countries or possessions into the United States and from one state or possession into any other state or possession. These regulations are codified in 42 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Parts 70 and 71. The Secretary of Health and Human Services also has the legal authority to establish regulations outlining the requirements for the medical PO 00000 Frm 00037 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 examination of aliens before they may be admitted into the United States. This authority is provided under Section 212(a)(1)(A) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1182(a)(1)(A)) and Section 325 of the Public Health Service Act. These regulations are codified in 42 CFR Part 34, which establish requirements that determine whether aliens can be admitted into the United States. Successful implementation of DGMQ’s regulatory authority and public health mission requires a variety of information collections with foreignborn, migrant and other mobile populations with current or future ties to the United States. These include but are not limited to: immigrants, international travelers, asylees and refugees, expatriates, border region residents, temporary migrants, and permanent alien residents. The purpose of the new ‘‘generic clearance’’ is to better understand the health status, risk factors for disease and other health outcomes among foreignborn, migrant, refugee and other mobile populations with current or future ties to the United States. Numerous types of information will be collected under the auspices of this generic OMB clearance. These include, but are not limited to, knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, behavioral intentions, practices, behaviors, skills, self-efficacy, and health information needs and sources. The proposed generic clearance is needed for DGMQ to fulfill its regulatory authority and public health mission, and will allow DGMQ to quickly collect important health-related information from the aforementioned hard-to-reach populations in order to improve routine and emergency public health programs and activities.

Proposed Project

    National Program of Cancer Registries Program Evaluation Instrument 
(NPCR-PEI) (OMB No. 0920-0706, exp. 12/31/2011)--Reinstatement--
National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion 
(NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The National Program of Cancer Registries (NPCR), administered by 
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), was established 
to provide funding for states and territories to: (1) Improve existing 
state-based cancer registries; (2) plan and implement registries where 
none existed; (3) develop model legislation and regulations for states 
to enhance the viability of registry operations; (4) set standards for 
data completeness, timeliness, and quality; (5) provide training for 
registry personnel; and (6) help establish a computerized reporting and 
data-processing system. Through the NPCR, CDC currently supports 48 
population-based central cancer registries (CCR) in 45 states, one 
territory, the District of Columbia, and the Pacific Islands. The 
National Cancer Institute supports the operations of CCR in the five 
remaining states.
    Through the NPCR, CDC provides technical assistance and funding and 
sets program standards to assure that complete cancer incidence data 
are available for national and state cancer control and prevention 
activities and other health planning activities. NPCR-funded CCR are 
the primary source of cancer surveillance data for United States Cancer 
Statistics (USCS), which CDC has published annually since 2002.
    Over a 17-year period, CDC has collected information from NPCR 
grantees to monitor their performance in meeting the required Program 
Standards (NPCR Program Evaluation Instrument, OMB No. 0920-0706, exp. 
12/31/2011). The NPCR Program Evaluation Instrument (PEI) is a secure, 
web-based method of collecting information about registry operations, 
including: Staffing, legislation, administration, reporting 
completeness, data exchange, data content and format, data quality 
assurance, data use, collaborative relationships, advanced activities, 
and survey feedback. Examples of information that can be obtained from 
various questions include, but are not limited to: (1) The number of 
filled full-time staff positions by position responsibility, (2) data 
quality control activities, (3) data collection activities as they 
relate to achieving NPCR standards for data completeness, (4) 
electronic reporting, (5) linkage with other databases and (6) whether 
registry data are used for comprehensive cancer control program 
planning and evaluation.
    The most recent PEI reports were submitted to CDC in 2011. Since 
2009, data collection had been conducted on a biennial schedule in odd-
numbered years. In late 2011, CDC discontinued the NPCR PEI clearance 
in preparation for a review of program standards. At this time, CDC 
seeks OMB approval to reinstate the NPCR PEI clearance. Minor changes 
to the PEI will be implemented

based on the revised NPCR standards. Additional changes include a 
reduction in the estimated number of NPCR grantees and an increase in 
the estimated burden per response.
    Information will continue to be collected electronically in odd-
numbered years. OMB approval is requested for three years to support 
data collection in 2013 and 2015. The total number of NPCR grantees is 
48. For two cycles of data collection over a three-year period, the 
annualized number of grantees is 32 (48+48/3=32). The estimated burden 
per response is 2 hours.
    The NPCR-PEI data collection is needed to receive, process, 
evaluate, aggregate, and disseminate NPCR program information. CDC and 
the NPCR-funded registries will use the data to monitor progress toward 
meeting objectives and established program standards; to describe 
various attributes of the NPCR-funded registries; and to respond to 
inquiries about the program.
    There are no costs to respondents except their time. The estimated 
annualized burden hours are summarized in the table below.
