Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork
Reduction Act Review
In accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
has submitted the information
collection request titled National
Program of Cancer Registries Program
Evaluation Instrument (NPCR_PEI) to
the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for review and approval. CDC
previously published a ‘‘Proposed Data
Collection Submitted for Public
Comment and Recommendations’’
notice on January 5, 2017 to obtain
comments from the public and affected
agencies. CDC did not receive comments
related to the previous notice. This
notice serves to allow an additional 30
days for public and affected agency
comments.
CDC will accept all comments for this
proposed information collection project.
The Office of Management and Budget
is particularly interested in comments
that:
(a) Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
(b) Evaluate the accuracy of the
agencies estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
(c) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected;
the Pacific Islands. The National Cancer
Institute supports the operations of
CCRs in the five remaining states.
CDC released a new Funding
Opportunity Announcement (FOA)
(DP17–1701) on December 15, 2017.
This FOA closed on March 24, 2017. A
new project period began on July 1,
2017. DP17–1701 allowed previously
unfunded states to apply for NPCR
funding. DP17–1701 NPCR eligibility
will include the 48 awardees funded
under the DP12–1205 FOA and
potentially two previously unfunded
State health departments or their Bona
Fide Agents, and US territories.
The Program Evaluation Instrument
(NCPR–PEI) includes questions about
the following categories of registry
operations: (1) Staffing, (2) legislation,
(3) administration, (4) reporting
completeness, (5) data exchange, (6)
data content and format, (7) data quality
assurance, (8) data use, (9) collaborative
relationships, (10) advanced activities,
and (11) survey feedback.
Examples of possible obtainable
information include, but are not limited
to: (1) Number of filled staff full-time
positions by position responsibility; (2)
revision to cancer reporting legislation;
(3) various data quality control
activities; (4) data collection activities as
they relate to achieving NPCR program
standards for data completeness; and (5)
whether registry data is being used for
comprehensive cancer control programs,
needs assessment/program planning,
clinical studies, or incidence and
mortality estimates.
The NPCR–PEI is needed to receive,
process, evaluate, aggregate, and
disseminate NPCR program information.
The CDC and NPCR-funded registries
use this information to monitor progress
toward meeting established program
standards, goals, and objectives; to
evaluate various attributes of the
registries funded by NPCR; and to
respond to data inquiries made by CDC
and other agencies of the federal
government.
CDC requests a three-year OMB
approval to collect information in the
winter of 2017 and 2019. There are no
costs to respondents except their time.
CDC estimates 66 hours a year in time
burden for the respondents.
(d) Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including, through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses; and
(e) Assess information collection
costs.
To request additional information on
the proposed project or to obtain a copy
of the information collection plan and
instruments, call (404) 639–7570 or
send an email to omb@cdc.gov. Direct
written comments and/or suggestions
regarding the items contained in this
notice to the Attention: CDC Desk
Officer, Office of Management and
Budget, 725 17th Street, NW,
Washington, DC 20503 or by fax to (202)
395–5806. Provide written comments
within 30 days of notice publication.

Background and Brief Description
CDC is responsible for administering
and monitoring the National Program of
Cancer Registries (NPCR). The NPCR
provides technical assistance and
funding and sets program standards to
assure that complete local, state,
regional, and national cancer incidence
data are available for national and state
cancer control and prevention activities
and health planning activities.
CDC has used the Program Evaluation
Instrument for 24 years to monitor the
performance of NPCR grantees in
meeting the required Program
Standards. In 2009, CDC reduced the
frequency of the data collection from an
annual to a biennial schedule in oddnumbered years.
CDC currently supports 48
population-based central cancer
registries (CCR) in 45 states, one
territory, the District of Columbia, and

approval from the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) for each collection of
information they conduct or sponsor.
The term ‘‘collection of information’’ is
defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR
1320.3(c) and includes agency requests
or requirements that members of the
public submit reports, keep records, or
provide information to a third party.

for approval or re-approval under
Medicare. The healthcare industry and
CMS believe that the availability to the
hospice of the type of records and
general content of records, which the
final rule (72 FR 32088) specifies, is
standard medical practice, and is
necessary in order to ensure the wellbeing and safety of patients and
professional treatment accountability.
