displays a currently valid OMB control number.
    In compliance with 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.
    Proposed Collection: The National Institute of Mental Health Data 
Archive (NDA), REVISION, OMB Control Number 0925-0667, National 
Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), National Institutes of Health (NIH).
    Need and Use of Information Collection: This REVISION request seeks 
approval of updates to the previously approved National Database for 
Autism Research Data Access Request and Data Use Certification, to 
include additional terms/options for data submission and access to meet 
the needs of the expanding resource, and to change the repository name 
to the NIMH Data Archive (NDA). The NDA, formerly known as the National 
Database for Autism Research (NDAR), is an infrastructure that allows 
for the submission and storage of human subjects data from researchers 
conducting studies related to many scientific domains, regardless of 
the source of funding. The NIH and NIMH developed this resource to 
allow for the public collection of information from: (1) Individuals 
who seek permission to access data from the NDA for the purpose of 
scientific investigation, scholarship or teaching, or other forms of 
research and research development, via the Data Use Certification 
(DUC), and (2) individuals who request permission to submit data to the 
NDA for the purpose of scientific investigation, scholarship or 
teaching, or other forms of research and research development, via the 
Data Submission Agreement (DSA). The extensive information stored in 
the NDA continues to provide a rare and valuable scientific resource to 
the field, and plays an integral part in fulfilling research objectives 
in multiple scientific domains. The NIH and the NIMH seek to encourage 
use of the NDA by investigators in the field of multiple scientific 
research domains to achieve rapid scientific progress. In order to take 
full advantage of this resource and maximize its research value, it is 
important that data are made broadly available, on appropriate terms 
and conditions, to the largest possible number of investigators.
    OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to 
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized 
burden hours are 1,500.
