SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposed information collection was

[[Page 25292]]

notice is to allow an additional 30 days for public comment. The Office 
of Director, 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: Generic Clearance for Conferences, Meetings, 
Workshops, Poster Sessions and Registration (OD), EXTENSION, 0925-0740, 
Expiration Date: 05/2019, National Institutes of Health (NIH), Office 
of the Director (OD).
    Need and Use of Information Collection: This information collection 
will continue to allow NIH to select the most appropriate participants 
for non-grantee activities sponsored, organized, and run by NIH staff, 
according to the type and purpose of the activity. For example, NIH may 
develop an application process or information collection to select a 
limited number of researchers to participate in a poster session, 
identify speakers and panelists with desired expertise on a specific 
topic to be covered at a meeting, or determine which researchers would 
most likely benefit from a training course or other opportunity. For 
NIH to plan and conduct activities that are timely for participants and 
their fields of research, it is often necessary for such information to 
be collected with a relatively short turnaround time. In general, 
submitted abstracts or other application materials will be reviewed by 
an internal NIH committee responsible for planning the activities. This 
committee will be responsible for selecting and notifying participants.
    The information collected for these activities generally includes 
title, author(s), institution/organization, poster size, character 
limitations along with other requirements. This information is 
necessary to identify attendees as eligible for poster presentations, 
to present their research, speak on panels, and discuss innovative 
approaches to science and technology to their peers. The registration 
form collects information from interested parties necessary to register 
them for a workshop.
    OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to 
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized 
burden hours are 8,875.
