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 October 21, 2024 to obtain comments from 
the public and affected agencies. CDC did not receive 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)--Reinstatement with Change--
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 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 approval for a period of three years to collect 
information in 2026 and 2028. The current burden estimate is based on 
the current 50 NPCR awardees. There are no costs to the respondents 
other than their time. CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 132 
annualized burden hours. There is no cost to respondnets other than 
their time to participate.
