Proposed Collection; Comment Request; NDAR Data Access Request

SUMMARY: In compliance with the requirement of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, for opportunity for public comment 
on proposed data collection projects, the National Institute of Mental 
Health (NIMH), the National Institutes of Health (NIH) will publish 
periodic summaries of proposed projects to be submitted to the Office 
of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval.

Proposed Collection

    Title: National Database for Autism Research (NDAR) Data Access 
Request.
    Type of Information Collection Request: New.
    Need and Use of Information Collection: The NDAR Data Access 
Request form is necessary for ``Recipient'' Principal Investigators and 
their organization or corporations with approved assurance from the 
DHHS Office of Human Research Protections to access data or images from 
the NDAR Central Repository for research purposes. The primary use of 
this information is to document, track, monitor, and evaluate the use 
of the NDAR datasets, as well as to notify interested recipients of 
updates, corrections, or other changes to the database.
    Frequency of Response: Once per request.
    Affected Public: Individuals.
    Type of Respondents: Researchers interested in obtaining access to 
study data and images from the NDAR Central Repository for research 
purposes.
    The annual reporting burden is as follows:
    Estimated Number of Respondents: approximately 40.
    Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: Once per request.
    Average Burden Hours per Response: 1.35.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours Requested: 63.
    There are two scenarios for completing the form. The first where 
the Principal Investigator (PI) completes the entire NDAR Data Access 
Request form, and the second where the PI has the Research Assistant 
begin filling out the form and PI provides the final reviews and signs 
it. The estimated annual burden hours to complete the data request form 
is listed below.
