SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposed information collection was 
previously published in the Federal Register on April 2, 2018, page 
14018 (83 FR 14018) 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 Office of the Director (OD), 
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.
    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 Genetic Testing Registry, 0925-0651, 
Expiration Date 07/31/2018--EXTENSION, Office of the Director (OD), 
National Institutes of Health (NIH).
    Need and Use of Information Collection: Clinical laboratory tests 
are available for more than 10,000 genetic conditions. The Genetic 
Testing Registry (GTR) provides a centralized, online location for test 
developers, manufacturers, and researchers to voluntarily submit 
detailed information about the availability and scientific basis of 
their genetic tests. The GTR is of value to clinicians by providing 
information about the accuracy, validity, and usefulness of genetic 
tests. The GTR also highlights evidence gaps where additional research 
is needed.
    OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to 
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized 
burden hours are 4,198.

                                                            Estimated Annualized Burden Hours
