    Proposed Collection Title: NCI Genomic Data Commons (GDC) Data 
Submission Request Form, 0925-0752, Expiration Date 05/31/2020, 
EXTENSION, National Cancer Institute (NCI), National Institutes of 
Health (NIH).
    Need and Use of Information Collection: The purpose of the NCI 
Genomic Data Commons (GDC) Data Submission Request Form is to provide a 
vehicle for investigators to request submission of their cancer genomic 
data into the GDC in support of data sharing. The purpose is to also 
provide a mechanism for the GDC Data Submission Review Committee to 
review and assess the data submission request for applicability to the 
GDC mission. The scope of the form involves obtaining information from 
investigators that: (1) Would like to submit data about their study 
into the GDC, (2) are affiliated with studies that adhere to GDC data 
submission conditions. The benefits of the collection are that it 
provides the needed information for investigators to understand the 
types of studies and data that the GDC supports, and that it provides a 
standard mechanism for the GDC to assess incoming data submission 
requests.
    OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to 
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized 
burden hours are 50 hours.
