    Comment Due Date: Comments regarding this information collection 
are best assured of having their full effect if received within 60 days 
of the date of this publication.
    Proposed Collection: The National Institute of Mental Health Data 
Access Request and Use Certification (previously National Database for 
Autism Research Data Access Request), 0925-0667, Revision, Expiration 
Date: 01/31/2016; NIMH, NIH.
    Need and Use of Information Collection: NIMH recently received OMB 
approval for use of the National Database for Autism Research (NDAR) 
Data Use Certification (DUC) Form. NIMH is interested in renaming this 
form the ``NIMH Data Access Request and Use Certification (DUC) Form'' 
and using it to meet the unique data access needs of all NIMH data 
repositories. The NIMH DUC 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 NIMH repositories and datasets for 
research purposes. The primary use of this information is to document, 
track, monitor, and evaluate the use of the NIMH repositories/datasets, 
as well as to notify interested recipients of updates, corrections or 
other changes to the database. There are currently three data 
repositories/sets positioned to use the NIMH DUC form: NDAR, the NIH 
Pediatric MRI Data Repository (PedsMRI), and the NIMH Clinical Research 
Datasets (NCRD).
    OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to 
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized 
burden hours are 380.

                                                            Estimated Annualized Burden Hours
