SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposed information collection was 
previously published in the Federal Register on June 18, 2020, page 
36871 (Vol. 85, No. 118 FR 36871) 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 National 
Cancer Institute (NCI), 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: Specimen Resource Locator, OMB #0925-0703: 
Expiration Date 11/30/2020, EXTENSION, National Cancer Institute (NCI), 
National Institutes of Health (NIH).
    Need and Use of Information Collection: The availability of 
specimens and associated data is critical to increase our knowledge of 
cancer biology, and to translate important research discoveries to 
clinical application. The discovery and validation of cancer prevention 
markers require access, by researchers, to quality clinical 
biospecimens. In response, to this need, the National Cancer 
Institute's (NCI) Cancer Diagnosis Program has developed, and is 
expanding, a searchable database: Specimen Resource Locator (SRL). The 
SRL allows scientist in the research community and the NCI to locate 
specimens needed for their research. The SRL will list all NCI 
supported repositories and their links. This administrative submission 
is an on-line form that will collect information to manage and improve 
a program and its resources for the use of all scientists. This 
submission does not involve any analysis.
    OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to 
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized 
burden hours are 105.
