SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposed information collection was

    Proposed Collection: Chimpanzee Research Use Form, 0925-0705, exp., 
date 9/30/2020, EXTENSION, Division of Program Coordination, Planning, 
and Strategic Initiatives (DPCPSI), Office of the Director (OD), 
National Institutes of Health (NIH).
    Need and Use of Information Collection: The purpose of this form is 
to obtain information needed by the NIH to assess whether the proposed 
research satisfies the agency's policy for permitting only noninvasive 
research involving chimpanzees. NIH will consider the information 
submitted through this form prior to the agency making funding 
decisions or otherwise allowing the research to begin. Completion of 
this form is a mandatory step toward receiving NIH support or approval 
for noninvasive research involving chimpanzees. NIH does not fund any 
research involving chimpanzees proposed in new or other competing 
projects (renewals or revisions) unless the research is consistent with 
the definition of ``noninvasive research,'' as described in the 
``Standards of Care for Chimpanzees Held in the Federally Supported 
Chimpanzee Sanctuary System'' (42 CFR part 9). See NOT-OD-16-095 at 
https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-16-095.html and 
81 FR 6873.
    OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to 
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized 
burden hours are 10.
