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, Exp. 12/31/2022). 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. No changes to the total estimated annualized burden hours or number of respondents are anticipated. The NPCR CSS allows CDC to collect, aggregate, evaluate, and disseminate cancer incidence data at the national level. The NPCR CSS is the primary submitted in January, is a preliminary report consisting of one year of data for the most recent year of data available. 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., 2018). 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. CDC requests approval for an estimated 200 annual burden hours. There are no costs to respondents other than their time. source of information for the United States Cancer Statistics (USCS), which CDC has published annually since 2002. The latest USCS report, published in 2021, provided cancer statistics for 99% of the U.S. 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.
