    Proposed Collection: Multidisciplinary Treatment Planning (MTP) 
within the NCI Community Cancer Centers Program (NCI), 0925-NEW, 
National Cancer Institute (NCI), National Institutes of Health (NIH).
    Need and Use of Information Collection: The aim of this data 
collection is to characterize how NCI Community Cancer Centers Program 
(NCCCP) hospitals define, structure, and implement multidisciplinary 
treatment planning (MTP), which initiates a coordinated approach to 
multidisciplinary care. The web-based, organizational survey will 
gather data on sites' definitions and terms for multidisciplinary 
treatment planning, composition of provider teams, meeting process, and 
patient involvement in the process. Information collected from NCCCP 
hospitals will add to the knowledge being generated and provide the 
foundation for research on multidisciplinary care in cancer. A total of 
21 hospitals participating in the NCCCP through June 2014 will be 
requested to complete the survey.
    OMB approval is requested for 1 year. There are no costs to 
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized 
burden hours are 22.
