Abstract
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 the Understanding important issues in ovarian cancer survivorship (OCS) project. The OCS project aims to better understand the needs of ovarian cancer survivors and how to more effectively develop interventions targeted to this population.

Proposed Data Collection Submitted for Public Comment and
Recommendations
AGENCY: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS).
ACTION: Notice with comment period.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: 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 the Understanding
important issues in ovarian cancer survivorship (OCS) project. The OCS
project aims to better understand the needs of ovarian cancer survivors
and how to more effectively develop interventions targeted to this
population.
DATES: CDC must receive written comments on or before October 5, 2021.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. CDC-2021-
0077 by any of the following methods:
<bullet> Federal eRulemaking Portal: <a href="http://Regulations.gov">Regulations.gov</a>. Follow the
instructions for submitting comments.
<bullet> Mail: Jeffrey M. Zirger, Information Collection Review
Office, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1600 Clifton Road
NE, MS-D74, Atlanta, Georgia 30329.
Instructions: All submissions received must include the agency name
and Docket Number. CDC will post, without change, all relevant comments
to <a href="http://Regulations.gov">Regulations.gov</a>.
Please note: Submit all comments through the Federal eRulemaking
portal (regulations.gov) or by U.S. mail to the address listed
above.

proposed project or to obtain a copy of the information collection plan
and instruments, contact Jeffrey M. Zirger, Information Collection

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
Understanding the needs of ovarian cancer survivors. (OMB Control
No. 0920-1314, Exp. 12/31/2021)--Extension--National Center for Chronic
Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Ovarian cancer is the ninth most common cancer, and the fifth
leading cause of cancer death among women in the United States. Over
20,000 women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer each year. Due to the
lack of a recommended screening test, ovarian cancer is often diagnosed
at late stages, leading to low five-year survival rates. While previous
studies are able to identify some of the needs of ovarian cancer
survivors, particularly related to physical complications and side
effects, additional research is needed to further understand the
experiences and needs of survivors.
The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine
released their report, Ovarian Cancers: Evolving Paradigms in Research
and Care, which identified key priorities for researchers, including
recommending research on the ``supportive care needs of ovarian cancer
survivors throughout the disease trajectory.'' In order to address
these research gaps and supplement current knowledge of the ongoing
needs of survivors, including how to implement
[[Page 43255]]
programs and interventions to improve their health, CDC has supported a
survey of ovarian cancer survivors.
The goal of this project is to better understand the needs of
ovarian cancer survivors and how to more effectively develop
interventions targeted to this population. To achieve this goal,
multiple recruitment methods will be utilized to recruit this unique
population of women for the study. By using state cancer registries,
social media advertisements, and respondent-driven sampling (RDS), the
study will ensure recruit of a diverse population of women.
This study will focus on the following research questions:
1. What physical and mental conditions do ovarian cancer survivors
experience?
2. What kinds of pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic interventions
do ovarian cancer survivors utilize to manage their conditions?
3. What barriers do ovarian cancer survivors have in accessing and
receiving appropriate diagnostic care, treatment, and follow-up care?
4. What unmet needs do ovarian cancer survivors have?
The overall sample design targets 1,200 completed interviews.
Completed surveys will come from more traditional sampling utilizing
lists from the state cancer registries (n = 1,200). This is a request
for an extension of two years to the data collection period.
Participation in this study is voluntary. The total estimated annual
burden hours are 1,000. There are no costs to respondents other than
their time.
