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 continuing information collection, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This notice invites comment on a proposed information collection project titled National Program of Cancer Registries Program Evaluation Instrument (NPCR-PEI). The NPCR-PEI is a web-based survey instrument designed to evaluate NPCR-funded registries' operational attributes and their progress towards meeting program standards.

collection, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This
notice invites comment on a proposed information collection project
titled National Program of Cancer Registries Program Evaluation
Instrument (NPCR-PEI). The NPCR-PEI is a web-based survey instrument
designed to evaluate NPCR-funded registries' operational attributes and
their progress towards meeting program standards.
DATES: CDC must receive written comments on or before December 20,
2024.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. CDC-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
National Program of Cancer Registries Program Evaluation Instrument
(NPCR-PEI) (OMB Control No. 0920-0706, Exp. 01/31/2025)--Revision--
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 31 years to monitor the performance
of NPCR grantees in meeting the required Program Standards. CDC
currently supports 50 population-based central 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 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.
The current burden estimate is based on 50 NPCR awardees. A new
project period begins July 1, 2025. If the number of awardees changes,
then a change request will be submitted to accurately reflect the
burden hours. CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 132 annual
burden hours. There are no costs to respondents other than their time.
