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 November 

22, 2021 to obtain comments from the 

public and affected agencies. CDC 

received one non-substantive 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. 

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 www.reginfo.gov/public/ 

do/PRAMain. 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

Proposed Project 

National Program of Cancer Registries 

Cancer Surveillance System (NPCR CSS) 

(OMB Control No. 0920–0469, Exp. 12/ 

31/2022)—Revision—National Center 

for Chronic Disease Prevention and 

Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers 

for Disease Control and Prevention 

(CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

In 2018, the most recent year for 

which complete incidence information 

is available, almost 600,000 people died 

of cancer and more than 1.7 million 

were diagnosed with cancer. It is 

estimated that 16.3 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/territorybased 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, Exp. 12/31/2022). CDC plans to 

request OMB approval to continue 

collecting this information for three 

years. 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 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 United 

States Cancer Statistics (USCS), which 

CDC has published annually since 2002. 

The latest USCS report published in 

2021 provided cancer statistics for 99% 

of the U.S. population from cancer 

registries in the United States. Prior to 

the publication of USCS, 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, 

describe geographic variation in cancer 

incidence throughout the country, and 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 93 / Friday, May 13, 2022 / Notices 29321 

provide incidence data on racial/ethnic 

populations and 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 can be 

made available for secondary analysis. 

Respondents are NPCR-supported 

central cancer registries (CCR) in 46 U.S. 

states, 3 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 available. CDC 

evaluates the preliminary data for 

completeness and quality and provides 

a report back to the CCR. The second 

NPCR CSS Standard file, submitted by 

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., 2018). The 

cumulative file is used for analysis and 

reporting. 

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. CDC requests OMB 

approval for an estimated 200 annual 

burden hours. Participation is required 

as a condition of the cooperative 

agreement with CDC. There are no costs 

to respondents other than their time.

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.
