Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has submitted
the following information collection request to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The notice for the proposed
information collection is published to obtain comments from the public
and affected agencies.
Written comments and suggestions from the public and affected
agencies concerning the proposed collection of information are
encouraged. Your comments should address any of the following: (a)
Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have practical utility; (b) Evaluate the
accuracy of the agencies estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information, including the validity of the methodology
and assumptions used; (c) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of
the information to be collected; (d) Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who are to respond, including
through the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection techniques or other forms of information
technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses; and
(e) Assess information collection costs.
To request additional information on the proposed project or to
obtain a copy of the information collection plan and instruments, call
(404) 639-7570 or send an email to [email protected]. Written comments and/or
suggestions regarding the items contained in this notice should be
directed to the Attention: CDC Desk Officer, Office of Management and
Budget, Washington, DC 20503 or by fax to (202) 395-5806. Written
comments should be received within 30 days of this notice.
Proposed Project
Minimum Data Elements (MDEs) for the National Breast and Cervical
Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP) (OMB No. 0920-0571, exp. 10/

Background and Brief Description
Many cancer-related deaths in women could be avoided by increased
utilization of appropriate screening and early detection tests for
breast and cervical cancer. Mammography is extremely valuable as an
early detection tool because it can detect breast cancer well before
the woman can feel the lump, when the cancer is still in an early and
more treatable stage. Similarly, a substantial proportion of cervical
cancer-related deaths could be prevented through the detection and
treatment of precancerous lesions. The Papanicolaou (Pap) test is the
primary method of detecting both precancerous cervical lesions as well
as invasive cervical cancer. Mammography and Pap tests are underused by
women who have no source or no regular source of health care and women
without health insurance.
The CDC's National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection
Program (NBCCEDP) provides screening services to underserved women
through cooperative agreements with 50 States, the District of
Columbia, 5 U.S. Territories, and 11 American Indian/Alaska Native
tribal programs. The program was established in response to the Breast
and Cervical Cancer Mortality Prevention Act of 1990. Screening
services include clinical breast examinations, mammograms and Pap
tests, as well as timely and adequate diagnostic testing for abnormal
results, and referrals to treatment for cancers detected. NBCCEDP
awardees collect patient-level screening and tracking data to manage
the program and clinical services. A de-identified subset of data on
patient demographics, screening tests and outcomes are reported by each
awardee to CDC twice per year.
CDC is requesting OMB approval to collect MDE information for an
additional three years. There are no changes to the currently approved
minimum data elements, electronic data collection procedures, or the
estimated burden. Because NBCCEDP awardees already collect and
aggregate data at the state, territory and tribal level, the additional
burden of submitting data to CDC will be modest. CDC will use the
information to monitor and evaluate NBCCEDP awardees; improve the
availability and quality of screening and diagnostic services for
underserved women; develop outreach strategies for women who are never
or rarely screened for breast and cervical cancer, and report program
results to Congress and other legislative authorities.
There are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total
estimated annualized burden hours are 536.
