Submission for OMB Review; 30-Day Comment Request; Specimen 
Resource Locator (NCI)

SUMMARY: Under the provisions of Section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995, the National Institutes of Health (NIH), has 
submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a request for 
review and approval of the information collection listed below. This 
proposed information collection was previously published in the Federal 
Register on April 8, 2014 (Vol. 79, P. 19345) and allowed 60-days for 
public comment. No public comments were received. The purpose of this 
notice is to allow an additional 30 days for public comment. The 
National Cancer Institute (NCI), National Institutes of Health, may not 
conduct or sponsor, and the respondent is not required to respond to, 
an information collection that has been extended, revised, or 
implemented on or after October 1, 1995, unless it displays a currently 
valid OMB control number.
    Direct Comments To OMB: Written comments and/or suggestions 
regarding the item(s) contained in this notice, especially regarding 
the estimated public burden and associated response time, should be 
directed to the: Office of Management and Budget, Office of Regulatory 
Affairs, [email protected] or by fax to 202-395-6974, 
Attention: NIH Desk Officer.

DATES: Comment Due Date: Comments regarding this information collection 
are best assured of having their full effect if received within 30-days 
of the date of this publication.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To obtain a copy of the data 
collection plans and instruments or request more information on the 
proposed project contact: Joanne Demchok, Program Director, Cancer 
Diagnosis Program, Division of Cancer Treatment and Diagnosis, 9609 
Medical Center Drive, Rockville, Md. 20892 or call non-toll-free number 
240-276-5959 or Email your request, including your address to: 
[email protected]. Formal requests for additional plans and 
instruments must be requested in writing.
    Proposed Collection: Specimen Resource Locator, Existing Collection 
in Use without OMB Control Number, National Cancer Institute (NCI), 
National Institutes of Health (NIH).
    Need and Use of Information Collection: The availability of 
specimens and associated data is critical to increase our knowledge of 
cancer biology, and to translate important research discoveries to 
clinical application. The discovery and validation of cancer prevention 
markers require access, by researchers, to quality clinical 
biospecimens. In response, to this need, the National Cancer 
Institute's (NCI) Cancer Diagnosis Program has developed, and is 
expanding, a searchable database: Specimen Resource Locator (SRL). The 
SRL allows scientist in the research community and the NCI to locate 
specimens needed for their research. The SRL will list all NCI 
supported repositories and their links. This administrative submission 
is an on-line form that will collect information to manage and improve 
a program and its resources for the use of all scientists. This 
submission does not involve any analysis.
    OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to 
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized 
burden hours are 105.
