National Institutes of Health


Submission for OMB Review; 30-day Comment Request; National 
Institute of Health Neurobiobank Tissue Access Request

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 February 13, 2014, page 8723 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 
Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), 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: NIMH Project Clearance Liaison, Science 
Policy and Evaluation Branch, OSPPC, NIMH, NIH, Neuroscience Center, 
6001 Executive Boulevard, MSC 9667, Rockville Pike, Bethesda, MD 20892, 
or call 301-443-4335 or Email your request, including your address to: 
[email protected]. Formal requests for additional 
plans and instruments must be requested in writing.
    Proposed Collection: National Institute of Health Neurobiobank 
Tissue Access Request--Existing without OMB Clearance--National 
Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), National Institute of Health (NIH).
    Need and Use of Information Collection: NIMH is seeking OMB 
approval for two Neurobiobank data collections: (1) Pre-Mortem Donor 
Recruitment Form, and (2) Tissue Access Request Form. The pre-mortem 
donor form will collect information from potential donors to ensure and 
enable appropriate research use of the tissues and biospecimens. 
Knowledge about the health history surrounding a particular tissue or 
biospecimen is essential to ethical scientific research conducted upon 
it. The tissue access request form will collect information from 
researchers who wish to gain access to the tissue stored throughout the 
Neurobiobank network, The NIH Neurobiobank Tissue Access Request form 
is necessary to verify that the researcher ``Recipient'' Principal 
Investigators and their organization or corporations applying to use 
the tissue is qualified to conduct human tissue research and have 
approved assurance from the DHHS Office of Human Research Protections 
to access tissue or biospecimens from the National Neurobiobank for 
research purposes. The primary use of this information is to document, 
track, monitor, and evaluate the appropriate use of the Neurobiobank 
tissue and biospecimen resources, as well as to notify interested 
recipients of updates, corrections, or other changes to the system.
    OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to 
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized 
burden hours are 38.
