CDC/NIOSH publishes Federal Register PRA 60-day notice seeking comments on extension of National Firefighter Registry for Cancer information collection (comments due Apr 27, 2026)

CDC/NIOSH published a Federal Register notice under the Paperwork Reduction Act requesting public comment on an extension of the existing information collection for the National Firefighter Registry (NFR) for Cancer (OMB Control No. 0920-1348). The notice indicates the current OMB control expiration date (4/30/2026) and solicits comments by April 27, 2026. For compliance and program stakeholders (e.g., fire departments, unions, occupational health programs, and entities supporting firefighter cancer surveillance), this is an administrative step that affects continuity of the registry’s data-collection authority and may influence participation mechanics or burden estimates.
