each cancer; identify populations at
increased or increasing risk; target
preventive measures; and measure the
success or failure of cancer control
efforts in the United States.
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.

The Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC), as part of
its continuing effort to reduce public
burden and maximize the utility of
government information, invites the
general public and other federal
agencies the opportunity to comment on
a proposed and/or continuing
information collection, as required by
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
This notice invites comment on a
proposed information collection project
titled ‘‘Requirement for Airlines and
Operators to Collect and Transmit
Designated Information for Passengers
and Crew Arriving Into the United
States; Requirement for Passengers to
Provide Designated Information,’’ which
will provide CDC with the ability to
collect traveler contact information from
passengers and airlines to facilitate any
necessary public health follow-up.
SUMMARY:
CDC must receive written
comments on or before January 21,
2022.

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.
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;
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; and
5. Assess information collection costs.
Proposed Project
Information Collection for the
Requirement for Airlines and Operators
to Collect and Transmit Designated
Information for Passengers and Crew
Arriving Into the United States;
Requirement for Passengers to Provide
Designated Information (42 CFR part
71.4, 71.20, 71.31, and 71.32)—New—
National Center for Emerging Zoonotic
and Infectious Diseases (NCEZID),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), a component of the
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS), has the regulatory
authority to collect contact information
from airlines under 42 CFR 71. CDC
exercises this authority to ensure that
public health agencies across the United
States can provide appropriate public
health follow-up to travelers who may
be ill or exposed to a communicable
disease.
CDC announces the requirement for
all airlines and operators to collect and/
or maintain passenger and crew contact
information (designated information),
and for passengers to provide such
information to airlines and operators, on
flights arriving into the United States.
This includes flights with intermediate
stops in the United States between the
flight’s foreign point of origin and the
final destination. Unless otherwise
transmitted to the U.S. Government via
established U.S. Department of
Homeland Security (DHS) data systems,
airlines and operators are required to
retain the designated information for 30
days and transmit it within 24 hours of
a request from CDC. Accurate and
complete contact information is needed
to protect the health of travelers and
U.S. communities and for the purposes
of public health follow-up.
CDC estimates burden to passengers
and airline staff to be 6,191,028 hours.
