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 fulltime 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.

Proposed Project 

National Healthcare Safety Network 

(NHSN) COVID–19 (OMB Control No. 

0920–1317, Exp. 3/31/2026)— 

Revision—National Center for Emerging 

and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases 

(NCEZID), Centers for Disease Control 

and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

The Division of Healthcare Quality 

Promotion (DHQP), National Center for 

Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious 

Diseases (NCEZID), Centers for Disease 

Control and Prevention (CDC) collects 

COVID–19 and respiratory virus data 

from healthcare facilities in the National 

Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) 

under OMB Control Number 0920–1317. 

NHSN COVID–19 Modules are designed 

to standardize the data elements 

collected across the country regarding 

the impact of the COVID–19 and other 

respiratory viruses on healthcare 

facilities. In collecting standardized 

data, NHSN provides a vendor-neutral 

platform and a national lens into the 

burden hospitals are experiencing in a 

way that is designed to support the 

public health response. 

NHSN is a platform that exists in 

nearly all acute-care hospitals, nursing 

homes, and dialysis facilities in the US 

and can provide a secure, sturdy 

infrastructure. The proposed changes in 

this ICR include revisions made to 10 

approved NHSN data collection tools 

and addition of two new forms, for a 

total of 12 forms in this package. 

CDC requests OMB approval for an 

estimated 1,752,540 annual burden 

hours. There is no cost to respondents 

other than their time to participate.

(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.
