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 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 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.
