(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.
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.

Background and Brief Description
In order to accurately monitor trends
in cancer incidence and evaluate control
measures among the U.S. fire service,
Congress passed the Firefighter Cancer
Registry Act of 2018. Under this
legislation, CDC/NIOSH was directed to
create a registry of U.S. firefighters for
the purpose of monitoring cancer
incidence and risk factors among the
current U.S. fire service. Funding of the
project was authorized through this
legislation for five years as of fiscal year
risk and/or improve early detection of
cancer among firefighters.
The below table outlines the
estimated time burden for participants
enrolling in the NFR. There are three
corresponding documents to be
completed as part of the enrollment
process; the Informed Consent, User
Profile, and Enrollment Questionnaire.
The estimated time burden for the
Informed Consent and User Profile are
five minutes each, and an estimated
twenty minute burden for enrollment
questionnaire and 33,354 in burden
hours.
2019. NIOSH is requesting a three year
approval for the package.
The main goal of the National
Firefighter Registry (NFR), according the
Firefighter Cancer Registry Act of 2018,
is, ‘‘to develop and maintain a voluntary
registry of firefighters to collect relevant
health and occupational information of
such firefighters for purposes of
determining cancer incidence.’’ Results
from the NFR will provide information
for decision makers within the fire
service and medical or public health
community to devise and implement
policies and procedures to lessen cancer
