Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has submitted the information
collection request titled National Program of Cancer Registries Program
Evaluation Instrument (NPCR-PEI) to the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for review and approval. CDC previously published a ``Proposed
Data Collection Submitted for Public Comment and Recommendations''
notice on March 26, 2021 to obtain comments from the public and
affected agencies. CDC received two comments related to the previous
notice. This notice serves to allow an additional 30 days for public
and affected agency comments.
CDC will accept all comments for this proposed information
collection project. The Office of Management and Budget is particularly
interested in comments that:
(a) 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;
(b) Evaluate the accuracy of the agencies estimate of the burden of
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
(c) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected;
(d) 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 submission of responses; and
(e) Assess information collection costs.
To request additional information on the proposed project or to
obtain a copy of the information collection plan and instruments, call
(404) 639-7570. Comments and recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of
this notice to <a href="http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain">www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain</a>. Find this particular
information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--
Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function. Direct
written comments and/or suggestions regarding the items contained in
this notice to the Attention: CDC Desk Officer, Office of Management
and Budget, 725 17th Street NW, Washington, DC 20503 or by fax to (202)
395-5806. Provide written comments within 30 days of notice
publication.
Proposed Project
National Program of Cancer Registries Program Evaluation Instrument
(NPCR-PEI) (OMB Control No. 0920-0706, Exp. 02/28/2021)--
Reinstatement--National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and
Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC).
Background and Brief Description
CDC is responsible for administering and monitoring the National
Program of Cancer Registries (NPCR). The NPCR provides technical
assistance and funding, and sets program standards to assure that
complete local, state, regional, and national cancer incidence data are
available for national and state cancer control and prevention
activities and health planning activities. The Program Evaluation
Instrument (PEI) has been used for 28 years to monitor the performance
of NPCR grantees in meeting the required Program Standards. CDC
currently supports 50 population-based cancer registries (CCR) in 46
states, two territories, the District of Columbia, and the Pacific
Islands. The National Cancer Institute supports the operations of CCRs
in the four remaining states. The Program Evaluation Instrument (NCPR-
PEI) includes questions about the following categories of registry
operations: (1) Staffing, (2) legislation, (3) administration, (4)
reporting completeness, (5) data exchange, (6) data content and format,
(7) data quality assurance, (8) data use, (9) collaborative
relationships, (10) advanced activities, and (11) survey feedback.
Examples of information that can be obtained from various questions
include, but are not limited to: (1) Number of filled staff full-time
positions by position responsibility; (2) revision to cancer reporting
legislation; (3) various data quality control activities; (4) data
collection activities as they relate to achieving NPCR program
standards for data completeness; and (5) whether registry data is being
used for comprehensive cancer control programs, needs assessment/
program planning, clinical studies, or incidence and mortality
estimates.
The NPCR-PEI is needed to receive, process, evaluate, aggregate,
and disseminate NPCR program information. The information is used by
CDC and the NPCR-funded registries to monitor progress toward meeting
established program standards, goals, and objectives; to evaluate
various attributes of the registries funded by NPCR; and to respond to
data inquiries made by CDC and other agencies of the federal
government. CDC requests OMB approval for a period of three years to
collect information in the winter of 2022 and 2024, and the new project
period begins July 1, 2022. There are no costs to the respondents other
than their time. CDC requests approval for an estimated 66 annualized
burden hours.
