Submission for OMB Review; 30-Day Comment Request; Cancer 
Epidemiology Descriptive Cohort Database (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 June 18, 2014, Vol. 79, page 34766 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.
    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: Daniela Seminara, Senior Scientist and Cohort 
and Consortia Coordination Team Lead, Epidemiology and Genomics 
Research Program (EGRP), Division of Cancer Control and Population 
Sciences (DCCPS), 9609 Medical Center Drive, Rockville, Md. 20892 or 
call non-toll-free number 240-276-6748 or email your request, including 
your address to: [email protected]. Formal requests for additional 
plans and instruments must be requested in writing.
    Proposed Collection: Cancer Epidemiology Descriptive Cohort 
Database, 0925--New, National Cancer Institute (NCI), National 
Institutes of Health (NIH).
    Need and Use of Information Collection: The NCI Epidemiology and 
Genomics Research Program (EGRP) supports large-scale collaborations 
across numerous cancer epidemiology cohorts. The collaborative approach 
to date has been lacking in easily accessible, centralized, and 
searchable information. To address the need for better collaborative 
research and increased transparency, EGRP will develop a Cancer 
Epidemiology Descriptive Cohort Database (CEDCD) accessible through a 
public Web site. The information collected from the current survey will 
be used to populate the CEDCD. This public Web site will allow 
investigators to know what data and specimens exist among other 
cohorts. Respondents will be cohort Principal Investigators. The data 
collection forms will be sent to participating cohort PIs annually to 
update any information that has changed so that the CEDCD Web site will 
remain current. No cohort participant-level data is being collected 
from any of the cohorts.
    The information to be collected will be aggregate descriptive 
information and protocols. Though the CEDCD has a biospecimen component 
(similar to the Specimen Resource Locator), the CEDCD is not a 
biospecimen locator database. It is a database focusing exclusively on 
descriptive data pertaining to large, prospective epidemiology cohorts.
    OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to 
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized 
burden hours are 550.
