Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 20 / Monday, February 1, 2016 / Notices
A. Purpose
Advance payments may be authorized
under Federal contracts and
subcontracts. Advance payments are the
least preferred method of contract
financing and require special
determinations by the agency head or
designee. Specific financial information
about the contractor is required before
determinations by the agency head or
designee can be made, and before such
payments can be authorized (see FAR
32.4 and 52.232–12). The information is
used to determine if advance payments
should be provided to the contractor.

Respondents: 500.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Annual Responses: 500.
Hours per Response: 6.
Total Burden Hours: 3,000.
C. Public Comments

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 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.

Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
In 2012, the most recent year for
which complete information is
available, more than 580,000 people
died of cancer and more than 1.5
million were diagnosed with cancer. It
is estimated that 13.8 million Americans
are currently alive with a history of
cancer (2). In the U.S., state-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-based cancer
registries that collect, manage and
analyze data about cancer cases. The
state-based cancer registries report
information to CDC through the
National Program of Cancer Registries
Cancer Surveillance System (NPCR
CSS), (OMB No. 0920–0469 5/31/2016).
CDC plans to request OMB approval to
continue collecting this information for

data elements specified for the Standard
NPCR CSS Report. Ten specialized
CCRs submit data elements specified for
the Enhanced NPCR CSS Report, which
includes additional information about
treatment and follow-up for cases of
breast, colorectal, and chronic myeloid
leukemia cases diagnosed in 2011. Each
CCR is asked to transmit two data files
to CDC per year. The first 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
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., 2014).
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. There are no costs
to respondents except their time.

three years. Data definitions will be
updated to reflect changes in national
standards for cancer diagnosis and
coding, but the number of respondents
and the burden per respondent will not
change.
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 United States
Cancer Statistics (USCS), which CDC
has published annually since 2002. The
latest USCS report published in 2015
provided cancer statistics for 99% of the
United States population from all cancer
registries whose data met national data
standards. 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 45 U.S.
states, 2 territories, and the District of
Columbia. Thirty-eight CCRs submit
