Proposed Project

    National Program of Cancer Registries Program Evaluation Instrument 
(NPCR-PEI)--Revision--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). As of 2008, CDC supports 45 
states, two territories, the District of Columbia, and the Pacific 
Island Jurisdictions' unified Central Cancer Registry (CCR) for 
population-based cancer registries. CCRs are the foundation of cancer 
prevention and control, providing information from reporting 
jurisdictions to ensure that high-quality and timely cancer 
surveillance data are available to CDC.
    CDC has collected program activity information from NPCR-funded 
registries on an annual basis. Beginning in 2009, CDC proposes to 
change the data collection frequency from annual to every other year, 
with data collection occurring only in odd-numbered years. Information 
will be collected electronically in 2009 and 2011 using the Web-based 
Program Evaluation Instrument (NPCR-PEI). The information will be used 
to evaluate various attributes of the registries funded by NPCR, 
monitor NPCR registries' progress towards program standards and 
objectives, compare an individual NPCR registry's progress towards 
standards with national program standards, and disseminate information 
about the NPCR. Continued clearance for a three-year period is 
requested.
    There are no costs to respondents except their time. The total 
estimated annualized burden hours are 50.
