Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) publishes a 
list of information collection requests under review by the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) in compliance with the Paperwork Reduction 
Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request a copy of these requests, call 
the CDC Reports Clearance Officer at (404) 639-5960 or send an e-mail 
to [email protected]. Send written comments to CDC Desk Officer, Office of 
Management and Budget, Washington, DC or by fax to (202) 395-5806. 
Written comments should be received within 30 days of this notice.

Proposed Project

    Management Information System for Comprehensive Cancer Control 
Programs--New--National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and 
Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 
(CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    CDC currently funds the National Comprehensive Cancer Control 
Program (NCCCP), which provides funding and technical support to all 50 
states, the District of Columbia, seven tribes/tribal organizations, 
and seven territories/U.S. Pacific Island jurisdictions. The NCCCP was 
established to improve the integration and implementation of 
comprehensive cancer control (CCC) plans across funding and 
jurisdiction boundaries, and is an outgrowth of efforts involving CDC, 
the American Cancer Society, the National Cancer Institute, the 
American College of Surgeons, the North American Association of Central 
Cancer Registries, and public health leaders at the state and national 
levels.
    All 65 NCCCP-funded programs are required to submit continuation 
applications and semi-annual progress reports describing performance 
plans and measures. To date, progress reports have been collected on 
templates that serve as a guide, but do not standardize the information 
to be collected. This non-standardized approach to progress reporting 
results in CCC program reports that vary in content and detail, and 
cannot be readily compiled to produce summary reports.
    CDC proposes to implement a database-driven Management Information 
System (MIS) that will achieve two objectives. First, the MIS will 
provide an organized source of information about the activities and 
accomplishments of all funded NCCCP programs. Secondly, the electronic 
MIS will provide an efficient mechanism for generating state, regional, 
and national level summary reports.
    Information reported through the MIS will be used by CDC to 
identify training and technical assistance needs, monitor compliance 
with cooperative agreement requirements, evaluate progress made in 
achieving program-specific goals, and obtain information needed to 
respond to Congressional and other inquiries regarding program 
activities and effectiveness.
    OMB approval is requested for a three-year period. Information will 
be collected electronically twice per year. The initial burden per 
response is estimated to be six hours. After respondents have become 
experienced with entering data, and the amount of new data to be 
entered decreases, the burden per response is expected to decrease. The 
total estimated annualized burden hours are 780. There are no costs to 
respondents other than their time.
