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 OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are
publishing this notice of a proposed
data collection as described below.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology; and (e) estimates of capital
or start-up costs and costs of operation,
maintenance, and purchase of services
to provide information. Burden means
the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to
generate, maintain, retain, disclose or
provide information to or for a Federal
agency. This includes the time needed
to review instructions; to develop,
acquire, install and utilize technology
and systems for the purpose of
collecting, validating and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; to train
personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information, to search
data sources, to complete and review
the collection of information; and to
transmit or otherwise disclose the
information.

expired 05/31/2016)—Reinstatement
with Change—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
has been used for 24 years to monitor
the performance of NPCR grantees in
meeting the required Program
Standards. In 2009, the frequency of the
data collection was reduced from
annual to a biennial schedule in oddnumbered years.
CDC currently supports 48
population-based central cancer
registries (CCR) in 45 states, one
territory, the District of Columbia, and
the Pacific Islands. The National Cancer
Institute supports the operations of
CCRs in the five remaining states.
A new FOA (DP17–1701) will be
released during the first quarter of 2017
and a new project period will begin July
1, 2017. DP17–1701 will allow State
health departments or their Bona Fide
Agents, and U.S. territories that have
not received NPCR funding previously

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 full-time 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.
CDC intends to seek a three-year
OMB-approval to collect information in
the winter of 2017 and 2019. There are
no costs to respondents except their
time. The estimated annualized burden
hours are summarized in the table
below.

to apply. DP17–1701 NPCR eligibility
will include the 48 awardees funded
under the DP12–1205 FOA and
potentially 6 additional State health
departments or their Bona Fide Agents,
and a combination of U.S. territories as
in DP12–1205.
The NPCR is open to the possibility
of funding the territories individually in
the DP17–1701 FOA. While Pacific
Island Jurisdiction (PIJ) is funded under
one award in DP12–105, they will have
the opportunity to apply as one,
individually, or a combination of
individual and joint applications.
States that were solely funded by
Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End
Result (SEER) in previous years can
easily respond to the questions in the
survey. The information being requested
in the NPCR–PEI are either already
collected by or are readily available to
all CCRs. Thus, the only burden on the
CCRs involves the time it takes to enter
responses on the web-based NPCR–PEI
every other year.
Minor changes to the Program
Evaluation Instrument (NPCR–PEI)
include removing questions determined
to be outdated or inappropriate for this
survey, rewording questions for clarity
and consolidating a few questions. In
addition, questions that showed 100%
compliance in 2015 were deleted.
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)
