 Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [60Day-21-1314; Docket No. CDC-2021-0077]
 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 and/or continuing information collection, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This notice invites comment on the Understanding important issues in ovarian cancer survivorship (OCS) project. The OCS project aims to better understand the needs of ovarian cancer survivors and how to more effectively develop interventions targeted to this population.
 DATES: CDC must receive written comments on or before October 5, 2021.
 ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. CDC-2021-0077 by any of the following methods: *Federal eRulemaking Portal: Regulations.gov.*
                         Follow the instructions for submitting comments.

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 Understanding the needs of ovarian cancer survivors. (OMB Control No. 0920-1314, Exp. 12/31/2021)—Extension—National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description Ovarian cancer is the ninth most common cancer, and the fifth leading cause of cancer death among women in the United States. Over 20,000 women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer each year. Due to the lack of a recommended screening test, ovarian cancer is often diagnosed at late stages, leading to low five-year survival rates. While previous studies are able to identify some of the needs of ovarian cancer survivors, particularly related to physical complications and side effects, additional research is needed to further understand the experiences and needs of survivors. The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine released their report, Ovarian Cancers: Evolving Paradigms in Research and Care, which identified key priorities for researchers, including recommending research on the “supportive care needs of ovarian cancer survivors throughout the disease trajectory.” In order to address these research gaps and supplement current knowledge of the ongoing needs of survivors, including how to implement 
                    ( print page 43255)
                    programs and interventions to improve their health, CDC has supported a survey of ovarian cancer survivors. The goal of this project is to better understand the needs of ovarian cancer survivors and how to more effectively develop interventions targeted to this population. To achieve this goal, multiple recruitment methods will be utilized to recruit this unique population of women for the study. By using state cancer registries, social media advertisements, and respondent-driven sampling (RDS), the study will ensure recruit of a diverse population of women. This study will focus on the following research questions: 1. What physical and mental conditions do ovarian cancer survivors experience? 2. What kinds of pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic interventions do ovarian cancer survivors utilize to manage their conditions? 3. What barriers do ovarian cancer survivors have in accessing and receiving appropriate diagnostic care, treatment, and follow-up care? 4. What unmet needs do ovarian cancer survivors have? The overall sample design targets 1,200 completed interviews. Completed surveys will come from more traditional sampling utilizing lists from the state cancer registries (n = 1,200). This is a request for an extension of two years to the data collection period. Participation in this study is voluntary. The total estimated annual burden hours are 1,000. There are no costs to respondents other than their time. Estimated Annualized Burden Hours
