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
Cancer Surveillance System'' 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 January 8, 2025 to obtain comments from the public and
affected agencies. CDC received one comment 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.
[[Page 56151]]
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 Cancer Surveillance System
(NPCR CSS) (OMB Control No. 0920-0469, Exp. 1/31/2026)--Revision--
National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion
(NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
In 2022, the most recent year for which complete incidence
information is available, more than 1.8 million were diagnosed with
cancer. In 2023, approximately 610,000 people died of cancer. It is
estimated that 17 million Americans are currently alive with a history
of cancer. In the U.S., state/territory-based central cancer registries
are the only method for systematically collecting and reporting
population-based information about cancer incidence and outcomes such
as survival. These data are used to measure the changing incidence and
burden of each cancer; identify populations at increased or increasing
risk; target preventive measures; and measure the success or failure of
cancer control efforts in the U.S.
In 1992, Congress passed the Cancer Registries Amendment Act which
established the National Program of Cancer Registries (NPCR). The NPCR
provides support for state/territory-based cancer registries that
collect, manage, and analyze data about cancer cases. The state/
territory-based cancer registries report information to CDC through the
National Program of Cancer Registries Cancer Surveillance System (NPCR
CSS), (OMB Control No. 0920-0469).
The NPCR CSS allows CDC to collect, aggregate, evaluate, and
disseminate cancer incidence data at the national level. The NPCR CSS
is the primary source of information for the U.S. Cancer Statistics,
which CDC has released annually since 2002. The latest U.S. Cancer
Statistics data release in 2025 provided cancer statistics for 100% of
the U.S. population from cancer registries in the United States. Prior
to the publication of U.S. Cancer Statistics, cancer incidence data at
the national level were available for only 14% of the population of the
United States. The NPCR CSS also allows CDC to monitor cancer trends
over time and describe geographic variation in cancer incidence
throughout the country. NPCR also provides population-level data, such
as incidence data by race, ethnicity, and other demographic and tumor
characteristics and reporting data on rare cancers. These activities
and analyses further support CDC's planning and evaluation efforts for
state and national cancer control and prevention. In addition, datasets
are available for secondary analysis.
Respondents are NPCR-supported central cancer registries (CCR) in
46 U.S. states, three territories, and the District of Columbia. Fifty
CCRs submit data elements specified for the Standard NPCR CSS Report.
Each CCR is asked to transmit two data files to CDC per year. The first
NPCR CSS Standard file, submitted in January, is a preliminary report
consisting of one year of data for the most recent year of available
data. CDC evaluates the preliminary data for completeness and quality
and provides a report back to the CCR. The second NPCR CSS Standard
file, submitted in November, contains cumulative cancer incidence data
from the first diagnosis year for which the cancer registry collected
data with the assistance of NPCR funds (e.g., 1995) through 12 months
past the close of the most recent diagnosis year (e.g., 2024). The
cumulative file is used for analysis and reporting.
In this Revision, Data definitions will be updated to reflect
changes in national standards for cancer diagnosis and coding. No
changes to the total estimated annualized burden hours or number of
respondents are anticipated. The burden for each file transmission is
estimated at two hours per response. Because cancer incidence data are
already collected and aggregated at the state level, the additional
burden of reporting the information to CDC is small. All information is
transmitted to CDC electronically. Participation is required as a
condition of the cooperative agreement with CDC.
CDC requests OMB approval for a total of 200 estimated annualized
burden hours for the Standard NPCR CSS Report. Approval is requested
for three years and there are no costs to respondents other than their
time.
