Government Audits Its Own Forms: Snooze-Fest Bureaucracy Alert
Published Date: 12/5/2025
Notice
Summary
The CDC is asking for your thoughts on their cancer data forms to make sure they’re useful and not too much work. They’re giving everyone 30 more days to share ideas before finalizing the forms. This helps keep data collection smooth and saves time and money for those involved.

State Cancer Registries: Two Electronic Reports
If you run a National Program of Cancer Registries-supported central cancer registry, you must transmit two electronic data files to CDC each year: a January preliminary file (one year of recent data) and a November cumulative file (from your first diagnosis year through 12 months past the most recent diagnosis year). Fifty central cancer registries (46 states, 3 territories, and the District of Columbia) are respondents; each file transmission is estimated at 2 hours per response and CDC estimates 200 annualized burden hours total.
Updated Cancer Data Definitions
CDC will update NPCR Cancer Surveillance System data definitions to reflect changes in national standards for cancer diagnosis and coding. CDC states no change is anticipated to the total estimated annualized burden hours or number of respondents and that all information is transmitted electronically.
