SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also requires Federal agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of information, including each new proposed collection, each proposed extension of existing collection of information, and each reinstatement of previously approved information collection before submitting the collection to the OMB for approval. To comply with this requirement, we are publishing this notice of a proposed data collection as described below. PO 00000 Frm 00029 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 The OMB is particularly interested in comments that will help: 1. 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; 2. Evaluate the accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; 3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and 4. 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 submissions of responses. 5. Assess information collection costs. Proposed Project National Program of Cancer Registries Cancer Surveillance System (OMB No. 0920–0469, Exp. 6/30/2019)— Revision—National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description In 2015, the most recent year for which complete information is available, almost 596,000 people died of cancer and more than 1.6 million were diagnosed with cancer. It is estimated that 15.8 million Americans are currently alive with a history of cancer. In the U.S., state/territory-based cancer registries are the only method for systematically collecting and reporting population based information about cancer incidence and outcomes such as E:\FR\FM\30MYN1.SGM 30MYN1 25057 Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 104 / Thursday, May 30, 2019 / Notices survival. These data are used to measure the changing incidence and burden of each cancer; identify populations at increased or increasing risk; target preventive measures; and measure the success or failure of cancer control efforts in the U.S. In 1992, Congress passed the Cancer Registries Amendment Act which established the National Program of Cancer Registries (NPCR). The NPCR provides support for state/territorybased cancer registries that collect, manage and analyze data about cancer cases. The state/territory-based cancer registries report information to CDC through the National Program of Cancer Registries Cancer Surveillance System (NPCR CSS), (OMB Control No. 0920– 0469). CDC plans to request OMB approval to continue collecting this information for three years. Data definitions will be updated to reflect changes in national standards for cancer diagnosis and coding. The number of respondents has been updated to reflect the increased number of states/ territories supported by CDC, but the burden per respondent will not change. The NPCR CSS allows CDC to collect, aggregate, evaluate, and disseminate The first NPCR CSS Standard file, submitted in January, is a preliminary report consisting of one year of data for the most recent year of available data. CDC evaluates the preliminary data for completeness and quality and provides a report back to the CCR. The second NPCR CSS Standard file, submitted by November, contains cumulative cancer incidence data from the first diagnosis year for which the cancer registry collected data with the assistance of NPCR funds (e.g., 1995) through 12 months past the close of the most recent diagnosis year (e.g., 2016). The cumulative file is used for analysis and reporting. The burden for each file transmission is estimated at two hours per response. Because cancer incidence data are already collected and aggregated at the state level the additional burden of reporting the information to CDC is small. All information is transmitted to CDC electronically. Participation is required as a condition of the cooperative agreement with CDC. The total estimated annual burden hours is 200. There are no costs to respondents except their time. cancer incidence data at the national level. The NPCR CSS is the primary source of information for United States Cancer Statistics (USCS), which CDC has published annually since 2002. The latest USCS report published in 2018 provided cancer statistics for 100% of the United States population from all cancer registries in the United States. Prior to the publication of USCS, cancer incidence data at the national level were available for only 14% of the population of the United States. The NPCR CSS also allows CDC to monitor cancer trends over time, describe geographic variation in cancer incidence throughout the country, and provide incidence data on racial/ethnic populations and rare cancers. These activities and analyses further support CDC’s planning and evaluation efforts for state and national cancer control and prevention. In addition, datasets can be made available for secondary analysis. Respondents are NPCR-supported central cancer registries (CCR) in 46 U.S. states, three territories, and the District of Columbia. Fifty CCRs submit data elements specified for the Standard NPCR CSS Report. Each CCR is asked to transmit two data files to CDC per year.
