Annual Survey of Colorectal Cancer
Control Activities Conducted by States
and Tribal Organizations—New—

and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description
In July 2009, the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention’s Division of
Cancer Prevention and Control, National
Center for Chronic Disease Prevention
and Health Promotion, funded the
Colorectal Cancer Control Program
(CRCCP) for a five-year period. Through
a competitive application process, 22
states and four tribal organizations
received cooperative agreement awards.
In 2010, three additional states were
funded, bringing the total number of
grantees to 29. The purpose of the
CRCCP is to promote colorectal cancer
(CRC) screening to increase populationlevel screening rates to 80% and,
subsequently, to reduce CRC incidence
and mortality (www.cdc.gov/cancer/
crccp/). The CRCCP includes two
program components: (1) CRC screening
of low-income, uninsured and
underinsured people (screening
provision) and (2) implementation of
interventions to increase populationlevel screening rates (screening
promotion).
The CRCCP is based on a socialecological framework that emphasizes
the implementation of evidence-based
strategies at the interpersonal,
organizational, community, and policy
levels. Grantees are strongly encouraged
to implement one or more of the five
evidence-based strategies that are
recommended in the Guide to
Community Preventive Services
(Community Guide;
www.thecommunityguide.org/cancer/
index.html ).
As a comprehensive, organized
screening program, the CRCCP supports
activities including program
management, partnership development,
public education and targeted outreach,
screening and diagnostic services,
patient navigation, quality assurance
and quality improvement, professional
development, data management and
utilization, and program monitoring and
evaluation. For clinical service delivery,
grantees fund health care providers in
their state or tribal organization to
deliver colorectal cancer screening,
diagnostic evaluation, and treatment
referrals for those diagnosed with
cancer. Through direct screening efforts
in the first three years of the CRCCP,
26,565 individuals were screened, 4,059
cases of precancerous polyps were
detected and removed, and 74 cancers
were diagnosed and treated.
The purpose of the proposed data
collection is to annually assess program

implementation, particularly related to
the use of evidence-based strategies. The
primary survey audience is CRCCP
program grantees (program directors or
managers); however, the survey will
also be administered to a comparison
group of states or tribes that do not
currently receive CRCCP funding.
Respondents for the non-CRCCP funded
survey group will be program directors
or managers from the National Breast
and Cervical Cancer Early Detection
Program (NBCCEDP), a comparable
group with whom the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
has an established relationship.
The Web-based survey includes
questions about respondent background,
program activities, clinical service
delivery, monitoring and evaluation,
partnerships, training and technical
assistance needs, and program
management and integration. Questions
are of various types including
dichotomous and multiple response.
The estimated burden per response is 75
minutes. There are two versions of the
survey: One for CRCCP-funded states
and tribal organizations, and one for
states and tribal organizations that do
not currently receive CRCCP funding.
All information will be collected
electronically.
The assessment will enable CDC to
gauge progress in meeting CRCCP
program goals, identify implementation
activities, monitor efforts aimed at
impacting population-based screening,
identify technical assistance needs of
state, tribe and territorial health
department cancer control programs,
and identify implementation models
with potential to expand and transition
to new settings to increase program
impact and reach.
The assessment will also identify
successful activities that should be
maintained, replicated, or expanded as
well as provide insight into areas that
need improvement. Current CRCCP
funding is through June 2015, however,
CDC anticipates that the program will be
renewed. Data obtained from the
unfunded states or tribes will provide
comparison data to facilitate
identification of similarities or
differences, if any, in colorectal cancer
screening activities, including the use of
evidence-based strategies to promote
and provide cancer screening. OMB
approval is requested for three years.
Participation in the survey is voluntary
and there are no costs to respondents
other than their time.

Background and Brief Description
NIOSH would like to submit an
Information Collection Request (ICR) to
revise the data collection instruments
being utilized within the Coal Workers’
Health Surveillance Program (CWHSP).
The current ICR incorporates all four
components that fall under the CWHSP.
Those four components include: Coal
Workers’ X-ray Surveillance Program
(CWXSP), B Reader Program, Enhanced
Coal Workers’ Health Surveillance

Program (ECWHSP), and National Coal
Workers’ Autopsy Study (NCWAS).
The CWHSP is a congressionallymandated medical examination program
for monitoring the health of
underground coal miners, established
under the Federal Coal Mine Health and
Safety Act of 1969, as amended in 1977
and 2006, PL–95–164 (the Act). The Act
provides the regulatory authority for the
administration of the CWHSP. This
Program is useful in providing
information for protecting the health of
miners (whose participation is entirely
voluntary), and also in documenting
trends and patterns in the prevalence of
coal workers’ pneumoconiosis (‘black
lung’ disease) among miners employed
in U.S. coal mines. The 4,420 estimated
annualized hours of burden is based on
the following:
• Coal Mine Operators Plan (2.10)—
Under 42 CFR 37.4, every coal operator
and construction contractor for each
underground coal mine must submit a
coal mine operator’s plan every 3 years,
providing information on how they plan
to notify their miners of the opportunity
to obtain the chest radiographic
examination. To complete this form
with all requested information
(including a roster of current
employees) takes approximately 30
minutes.
• Facility Certification Document
(2.11)—X-ray facilities seeking NIOSHapproval to provide miner radiographs
under the CWHSP must complete an
approval packet which requires
approximately 30 minutes for
completion.
• Miner Identification Document
(2.9)—Miners who elect to participate in
the CWHSP must fill out this document
which requires approximately 20
minutes. This document records
demographic and occupational history,
as well as information required under
the regulations from x-ray facilities in
relation to coal miner examinations. In
addition to completing this form, the
process of capturing the chest image
takes approximately 15 minutes.
• Chest Radiograph Classification
Form (2.8)—Under 42 CFR part 37,
PO 00000
Frm 00021
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
NIOSH utilizes a radiographic
classification system developed by the
International Labour Office (ILO), in the
determination of pneumoconiosis
among underground coal miners.
Physicians (B Readers) fill out this form
regarding their interpretations of the
radiographs (each image has at least two
separate interpretations). Based on prior
practice it takes the physician
approximately three minutes per form.
• Physician Application for
Certification (2.12)—Physicians taking
the B Reader examination are asked to
complete this registration form which
provides demographic information as
well as information regarding their
medical practices. It typically takes the
physician about 10 minutes to complete
this form.
• Spirometry Testing—Miners
participating in the ECWHSP
component of the Program are asked to
perform a spirometry test which
requires no additional paperwork on the
part of the miner, but does require
approximately 15 to 20 minutes for the
test itself. Since spirometry testing is
offered as part of the ECWHSP only, the
2,500 respondents listed in the burden
table below account for about half of the
total participants in the CWHSP.
• Pathologist Invoice—42 CFR 37.202
specifies procedures for the NCWAS.
The invoice submitted by the
pathologist must contain a statement
that the pathologist is not receiving any
other compensation for the autopsy.
Each participating pathologist may use
their individual invoice as long as this
statement is added. It is estimated that
only five minutes is required for the
pathologist to add this statement to the
standard invoice that they routinely use.
• Pathologist Report—42 CFR 37.203
provides the autopsy specifications. The
pathologist must submit information
found at autopsy, slides, blocks of
tissue, and a final diagnosis indicating
presence or absence of pneumoconiosis.
The format of the autopsy reports are
variable depending on the pathologist
conducting the autopsy. Since an
autopsy report is routinely completed
by a pathologist, the only additional

The Web-based survey includes questions about respondent
background, program activities, clinical service delivery, monitoring
