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
Colorectal Cancer Screening Program (OMB No. 0920-0745 7/31/2010)--
Revision--Division of Cancer Prevention and Control (DCPC), National
Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP),
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Colorectal Cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer-
related deaths in the United States, following lung cancer. Based on
scientific evidence which indicates that regular screening is effective
in reducing CRC incidence and mortality, regular CRC screening is now
recommended for average-risk persons.
In 2005, CDC established a demonstration program to screen low-
income individuals 50 years of age and older who have no health
insurance or inadequate health insurance for CRC. The five
demonstration sites have reported information to CDC including de-
identified, patient-level demographic, screening, diagnostic,
treatment, outcome and cost reimbursement data (Colorectal Cancer
Screening Demonstration Program, OMB No. 0920-0745, exp. 7/31/2010).
CDC requests OMB approval to continue the information collection
for three years, with changes. First, the number of funded sites will
increase from 5 to 26, and the term ``Demonstration'' will be deleted
from the title. Second, there will be a reduction in the burden per
respondent associated with the collection of clinical information.
Reporting forms for medical complications and medically ineligible
clients will be discontinued, the level of detail collected from
endoscopy and pathology reports will be reduced, and the reporting form
for colorectal cancer clinical data elements (CCDE) will be
streamlined. As a result, the reporting burden per CCDE form will be
similar regardless of primary test provided. Third, the collection of
patient-level reimbursement cost data will be discontinued and will be
replaced by the collection of program-level activity-based cost data
using a Cost Assessment Tool (CAT). The information to be collected
through the CAT will allow CDC to compare activity-based costs across
multiple sites and programs, and will provide a more effective means of
monitoring and improving the performance and cost-effectiveness of the
CRC screening program.
Each program site will screen an estimated 375 patients per year.
De-identified CCDE information concerning approximately 187 new
screening records will be transmitted to CDC electronically twice per
year. Information collected through the Cost Assessment Tool will be
transmitted electronically to CDC once per year. Reporting is required
for all sites funded through the CRC screening program.
The goals of the expanded CRC screening program are to increase
population-based screening and to reduce health disparities in CRC
screening, incidence and mortality. The program will continue to
provide services to low-income individuals age 50 and older with
inadequate or no health insurance for CRC.
The total estimated annualized burden hours are 3,010. The increase
in the number of funded sites and the proposed changes will result in
an overall increase in burden to respondents. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time.
