Proposed Project
Vital Statistics Training Application,
OMB No. 0920–0217—Revision exp. 5/
31/2013—National Center for Health
Statistics (NCHS), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
In the United States, legal authority
for the registration of vital events, i.e.,
births, deaths, marriages, divorces, fetal
deaths, and induced terminations of
pregnancy, resides individually with the
States (as well as cities in the case of
New York City and Washington, DC)
and Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands,
Guam, American Samoa, and the
Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana
Islands. These governmental entities are
the full legal proprietors of vital records
and the information contained therein.

As a result of this State authority, the
collection of registration-based vital
statistics at the national level, referred
to as the U.S. National Vital Statistics
System (NVSS), depends on a
cooperative relationship between the
States and the Federal government. This
data collection, authorized by 42 U.S.C.
242k, has been carried out by NCHS
since it was created in 1960.
NCHS assists in achieving the
comparability needed for combining
data from all States into national
statistics, by conducting a training
program for State and local vital
statistics staff to assist in developing
expertise in all aspects of vital
registration and vital statistics. The
training offered under this program
includes courses for registration staff,
statisticians, and coding specialists, all
designed to bring about a high degree of
uniformity and quality in the data
provided by the States. This training
program is authorized by 42 U.S.C.
242b, section 304(a). NCHS notifies
State and local vital registration
officials, as well as Canadian
counterparts, about upcoming training.
Individual candidates for training then
submit an application form including
name, address, occupation, and other
relevant information. NCHS is
requesting 3 years of OMB clearance for
these training application forms. There
is no cost to respondents other than
their time.

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND

National Institutes of Health
Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request (30-Day FRN);
Prostate, Lung, Colorectal and Ovarian
Cancer Screening Trial (PLCO) (NCI)
Under the provisions of
Section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the National
Institutes of Health (NIH) has submitted
to the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) a request to review and approve
the information collection listed below.
This proposed information collection
was previously published in the Federal
Register on July 16, 2012 (FR 77, 41791)
and allowed 60-days for public
comment. One public comment was
received and a response was sent. The
comment referenced alternative research
that is unrelated to cancer screening.
The purpose of this notice is to allow an
additional 30 days for public comment.
The National Institutes of Health may
not conduct or sponsor, and the
respondent is not required to respond
to, an information collection that has

SUMMARY:

been extended, revised, or implemented
on or after October 1, 1995, unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control
number.
Written comments and/or suggestions
regarding the item(s) contained in this
notice, especially regarding the
estimated public burden and associated
response time, should be directed to the
Attention: NIH Desk Officer, Office of
Management and Budget, at
[email protected] or by
fax to 202–395–6974. To request more
information on the proposed project or
to obtain a copy of the data collection
plans and instruments, contact Dr.
Christine D. Berg, Chief, Early Detection
Research Group, National Cancer
Institute, NIH, EPN Building, Room
3100, 6130 Executive Boulevard,
Bethesda, MD 20892, or call non-tollfree number 301–496–8544 or email
your request, including your address to:
[email protected].
Comments regarding this information
collection are best assured of having
their full effect if received within 30
days of the date of this publication.
Proposed Collection: Prostate, Lung,
Colorectal, and Ovarian Cancer
Screening Trial (PLCO), OMB No: 0925–
0407, Expiration Date 9/30/2014,
Revision, National Cancer Center (NCI),
National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Need and Use of Information
Collection: This trial was designed to
determine if screening for prostate, lung,
colorectal, and ovarian cancer can
reduce mortality from these cancers
which currently cause an estimated

255,700 deaths annually in the U.S. The
design is a two-armed randomized trial
of men and women aged 55 to 74 at
entry. OMB first approved this study in
1993 and has approved it every 3 years
since then through 2014. During the first
approval period a pilot study was
conducted to evaluate recruitment
methods and data collection procedures.
Recruitment was completed in 2001,
screening was completed in 2006, and
data collection continues through 2016.
When participants enrolled in the trial
they agreed to be followed for at least
13 years from the time of enrollment. In
2011, participants were re-consented for
at least an additional five years of
follow-up. The current number of
respondents is limited to the
approximately 94,000 participants being
actively followed up. This is down from
the initial total. The reports on
screening and prostate, lung, colorectal
and ovarian cancer mortality based on
this trial have been published in peer
review medical journals. The additional
follow-up will provide data that will
clarify further the long term effects of
the screening on cancer incidence and
mortality for the four targeted cancers.
Further, demographic and risk factor
information may be used to analyze the
differential effectiveness of screening in
high versus low risk individuals.
OMB approval is requested for 3
years. There are no costs to respondents
other than their time. The total
estimated annualized burden hours are
31,813.
