Proposed Project National Firefighter Registry for Cancer (OMB Control No. 0920–1348, Exp. 9/30/2024)—Revision—National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description In order to accurately monitor trends in cancer incidence and evaluate control 3,650 139 50 2 2 2 5/60 18/60 18/60 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. According the Firefighter Cancer Registry Act of 2018, the main goal of the National Firefighter Registry for Cancer (NFR) 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. NIOSH seeks a three-year renewal. 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. Select fire departments may have an additional Records Request. The estimated time burden for the Informed Consent and User Profile are five minutes each. There is an estimated 20 minute burden for the Enrollment Questionnaire, and 16 hours for the Records Request (applicable to an estimated 34 firefighters). CDC requests OMB approval for a total estimated annual burden of 44,987 hours.

This notice invites comment on a proposed information collection project titled Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS). BRFSS is an annual state-based health survey that produces information on health risk behaviors, health conditions, and preventive health practices that are associated with chronic diseases, infectious diseases, and injury. DATES: CDC must receive written comments on or before October 8, 2024.

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 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) (OMB Control No. 0920–1061, Exp. 12/31/2024)— Revision—National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description CDC is requesting OMB approval to revise the information collection for the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance PO 00000 Frm 00044 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 65355 System (BRFSS) for the period of 2025– 2027. The BRFSS is a nationwide system of cross-sectional surveys using random digit dialed (RDD) samples administered by health departments in states, territories, and the District of Columbia (collectively referred to here as states) in collaboration with the CDC. Traditionally, subject recruitment and interviews have been conducted by telephone. In 2025–2027, the BRFSS will expand the option to allow participants to voluntarily complete online surveys, after telephone recruitment. The BRFSS produces statelevel information primarily on health risk behaviors, health conditions, and preventive health practices that are associated with chronic diseases, infectious diseases, and injury. Designed to meet the data needs of individual states and territories, the CDC sponsors the BRFSS information collection project under a cooperative agreement with states and territories. Under this partnership, BRFSS state coordinators determine questionnaire content with technical and methodological assistance provided by CDC. For most states and territories, the BRFSS provides the only sources of data amenable to state and local level health and health risk indicator uses. Over time, it has also developed into an important data collection system that federal agencies rely on for state and local health information and to track national health objectives such as Healthy People. CDC bases the BRFSS questionnaire on modular design principles to accommodate a variety of state-specific needs within a common framework. All participating states are required to administer a standardized core questionnaire, which provides a set of shared health indicators for all BRFSS partners. The BRFSS core questionnaire consists of fixed core, rotating core, and emerging core questions. Fixed core questions are asked every year. Rotating core questions cycle on and off the core questionnaire in two- or three-year cycles, depending on the question. Emerging core questions are included in the core questionnaire as needed to collect data on urgent or emerging health topics such as infectious disease. In addition, the BRFSS includes a series of optional modules on a variety of topics. In off years, when the rotating questions are not included in the core questionnaire, they are offered to states as optional modules. This framework allows each state to produce a customized BRFSS survey by appending selected optional modules to the core E:\FR\FM\09AUN1.SGM 09AUN1

1348, Exp. 9/30/2024)--Revision--National Institute for Occupational 
Safety and Health (NIOSH), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 
(CDC).

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.
    According the Firefighter Cancer Registry Act of 2018, the main 
goal of the National Firefighter Registry for Cancer (NFR) 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. NIOSH seeks a three-year 
renewal. 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. Select 
fire departments may have an additional Records Request. The estimated 
time burden for the Informed Consent and User Profile are five minutes 
each. There is an estimated 20 minute burden for the Enrollment 
Questionnaire, and 16 hours for the Records Request (applicable to an 
estimated 34 firefighters). CDC requests OMB approval for a total 
estimated annual burden of 44,987 hours. There is no cost to 
respondents other than their time to participate.
