Proposed Project
National Program of Cancer Registries
Cancer Surveillance System (NPCR CSS)
(OMB Control No. 0920–0469, Exp. 6/
30/2019)—Reinstatement with Change—
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
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 No. 0920–0469).
CDC plans to request OMB approval to
reinstate 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
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.
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. There
are no costs to respondents other than
their time. The total estimated
annualized burden hours are 200 for the
Standard NPCR CSS Report.

Proposed Project
Performance Progress and Monitoring
Report (PPMR) (OMB Control No. 0920–
1132, Exp. 08/31/2019)—Revision—
Office of Science (OS), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Each year, approximately 80% of the
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention’s (CDC) budget is distributed
via contracts, grants and cooperative
agreements, from the Office of Financial
Resources (OFR) to partners throughout
the world in an effort to promote health,
prevent disease, injury and disability
and prepare for new health threats. OFR
is responsible for the stewardship of
these funds while providing excellent,
professional services to our partners and
stakeholders.
Currently, CDC uses the Performance
Progress and Monitoring Report
(PPMR—OMB Control Number: 0920–
1132, Expiration Date: 08/31/2019), a
progress report form for Non-Research
awards to collect information semiannually from Awardees regarding the
progress made over specified time
periods on CDC funded projects. The
PPMR was originally modified from SF–
PPR (OMB Control Number: 0970–0406,
Expiration Date: 10/31/2015), a similar
progress report that was owned by the
Administration for Children and
Families (ACF) within the Department
of Health and Human Services (HHS).

The PPMR was created by CDC to
provide an agency-wide collection tool
that would be able to obtain data on the
progress of CDC Awardees for the
purposes of evaluation, and to bring the
Awardee reporting procedure into
compliance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA).
The information collected enables the
accurate, reliable, uniform, and timely
submission to CDC of each Awardee’s
work plans and progress reports,
including strategies, activities and
performance measures. The information
collected by the PPMR is designed to
align with, and support the goals
outlined for each of the CDC Awardees.
Collection and reporting of the
information will occur in an efficient,
standardized, and user-friendly manner
that will generate a variety of routine
and customizable reports. The PPMR
will allow each Awardee to summarize
activities and progress towards meeting
performance measures and goals over a
specified time period specific to each
award. CDC will also have the capacity
to generate reports that describe
activities across multiple Awardees. In
addition, CDC will use the information
collection to respond to inquiries from
HHS, Congress and other stakeholder
inquiries about program activities and
their impact.
This Revision request is being
submitted to allow CDC to continue
collection of this valuable information
from Awardees for an additional three
years, and to amend the procedures by
which the information can be collected.
Currently, the submission process
requires Awardees to submit a
completed PDF version of the PPMR by
uploading it to www.grants.gov in
accordance with program guidance and
award terms and conditions. While this
method will continue to be utilized,
CDC now requests that Awardees be
permitted to submit the PPMR, and
associated forms directly to the
Programs that will be performing the
evaluation. This method of submission
will occur via the use of a fillable PDF
and Excel-based versions of the PPMR
Reporting Tool.
Use of this mechanism and the ability
of Awardees to submit information
related to program evaluation directly to

Each CCR is asked to transmit two data files to CDC per year. 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. There are no costs to respondents other
than their time. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 200
for the Standard NPCR CSS Report.
