Proposed Project

    National Program of Cancer Registries Annual Program Evaluation 
Instrument (NPCR-APEI)--New--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 1999, CDC supported 45 
states, 3 territories, and the District of Columbia for population-
based cancer registries. (The 5 remaining states receive federal 
funding for the operations of cancer registries through the National 
Cancer Institute.) The central cancer registries (CCR), the foundation 
of cancer prevention and control, provide information from the 
reporting jurisdictions and insure that quality and timely cancer 
surveillance data are available to CDC.
    The NPCR Annual Program Evaluation Instrument (NPCR-APEI) is needed 
in order to receive, process, evaluate, aggregate and disseminate NPCR 
program information collected by NPCR registries and reported to CDC. 
Data collected with this instrument will be used by the NPCR to 
evaluate various attributes of the registries funded by NPCR, monitor 
NPCR registries' progress towards program standards and objectives, and 
compare an individual NPCR registry's progress towards standards with 
national program standards as well as those of SEER and NAACCR. There 
are no costs to respondents except their time to participate in the 
survey. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 74.
