Submission for OMB Review; 30-Day Comment Request; Assessment of 
Oncology Nursing Education and Training in Low and Middle Income 
Countries (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 July 8, 2014, Vol. 79, page 38542 and allowed 60-days for 
public comment. One public comment was received on July 9, 2014. 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: Annette Galassi, Center for Global Health, 
National Cancer Institute, 9609 Medical Center Dr., Rm. 3W250,

    Proposed Collection: Assessment of Oncology Nursing Education and 
Training in Low and Middle Income Countries, 0925-NEW, National Cancer 
Institute (NCI), National Institutes of Health (NIH).
    Need and Use of Information Collection: This submission is a 
request for OMB to approve the Assessment of Oncology Nursing Education 
and Training in Low and Middle Income Countries (LMICs). NCI-Designated 
Cancer Centers have a range of international activities, some of which 
are funded by NCI, but many of which are not. These international 
activities may include oncology nursing education and training in 
LMICs, but the extent of these activities across cancer centers is 
unknown. The proposed assessment requests information about oncology 
nursing education and training projects including: descriptions of 
projects, partner organizations, types of activities, cost, and impact. 
The information will be collected annually. NCI's Center for Global 
Health (CGH) is in the process of developing its strategic plan for 
oncology nursing education in LMICs.

[[Page 10129]]

This information will help inform this strategic planning process and 
provide evidence to inform decisions on potential investments in grants 
for oncology nursing education in LMICs. Additionally, this information 
will be used in an online, interactive map that is being developed by 
CGH which will allow external organizations, such as cancer centers, to 
explore what projects are being done in which countries, which will 
facilitate collaborations and minimize duplication. The frequency of 
the data collection will be once per year although respondents may have 
more than one response if they have up to three projects.
    OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to 
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized 
burden hours are 51.
