ACTION: Notice with comment period.
AGENCY:

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 a
proposed information collection project
titled National Program of Cancer
Registries Cancer Surveillance System
(NPCR CSS). The NPCR CSS provides
useful data on cancer incidence and
trends.

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; and
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.
5. Assess information collection costs.

Background and Brief Description
In 2015, the most recent year for
which complete information is
available, almost 596,000 people died of
cancer and more than 1.6 million were
diagnosed with cancer. It is estimated
that 15.8 million Americans are
currently alive with a history of cancer.
In the U.S., state/territory-based 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). 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. The number of
respondents has been updated to reflect
the increased number of states/
territories supported by CDC, but the
burden per respondent will not change.
The NPCR CSS allows CDC to collect,
aggregate, evaluate, and disseminate

The first NPCR CSS Standard file,
submitted in January, is a preliminary
report consisting of one year of data for
the most recent year of available data.
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., 2016). 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. Participation is
required as a condition of the
cooperative agreement with CDC. The
total estimated annual burden hours is
200. There are no costs to respondents
except their time.

cancer incidence data at the national
level. The NPCR CSS is the primary
source of information for United States
Cancer Statistics (USCS), which CDC
has published annually since 2002. The
latest USCS report published in 2018
provided cancer statistics for 100% of
the United States population from all
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
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, three 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.
