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 information collection, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This notice invites comment on a proposed information collection project titled Social and Economic Barriers to Receiving Optimal Services Along the Cancer Care Continuum. This mixed methods data collection effort will help CDC understand the social and economic barriers that colorectal, breast, and cervical cancer survivors and their caregivers face at each stage of the cancer care continuum, from screening through survivorship, and how these barriers may vary by 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 information
collection, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This
notice invites comment on a proposed information collection project
titled Social and Economic Barriers to Receiving Optimal Services Along
the Cancer Care Continuum. This mixed methods data collection effort
will help CDC understand the social and economic barriers that
colorectal, breast, and cervical cancer survivors and their caregivers
face at each stage of the cancer care continuum, from screening through
survivorship, and how these barriers may vary by population.
DATES: CDC must receive written comments on or before November 27,
2023.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. CDC-2023-
0077 by either of the following methods:
<bullet> Federal eRulemaking Portal: <a href="http://www.regulations.gov">www.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

Instructions: All submissions received must include the agency name
and Docket Number. CDC will post, without change, all relevant comments
to <a href="http://www.regulations.gov">www.regulations.gov</a>.
Please note: Submit all comments through the Federal eRulemaking
portal (<a href="http://www.regulations.gov">www.regulations.gov</a>) or by U.S. mail to the address listed

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
Social and Economic Barriers to Receiving Optimal Services Along
the Cancer Care Continuum--New--National Center for Chronic Disease
Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC)
Background and Brief Description
The purpose of this project is to: (1) examine and better
understand social and economic barriers faced by colorectal, breast,
and cervical cancer survivors and their caregivers at each stage of the
Cancer Care Continuum (CCC); and (2) quantify the impact of individual
and compounded barriers on health outcomes along the CCC for survivors.
CDC will use a mixed methods data collection approach.
First, CDC plans to pull our sample from cancer registry data in
California, North Carolina, and Texas based on inclusion criteria
(received first cancer diagnosis of either breast, cervical or
colorectal cancer in 2021; 18-75 years of age at time of diagnosis; are
non-Hispanic Black/African American, non-Hispanic White, or Hispanic;
alive at the time of data extraction/sample selection). Then, CDC will
administer a Wave 1 (baseline) and Wave 2 (follow-up) survey to cancer
survivors, as well as a survey to their caregivers. Additionally, CDC
will conduct interviews with survivors and caregivers as well as focus
groups with
[[Page 66005]]
representatives from patient/survivor advocacy organizations. CDC will
incorporate cancer registry data into the quantitative data analysis,
and triangulate findings from the quantitative and qualitative data
collection efforts. Results will be used to inform efforts aimed at
increasing access to cancer care services, reducing the burden of
cancers and closing the disparities gap.
CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 1,681 annual burden
hours. There are no costs to respondents other than their time to
participate.
