    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 National Institute of Mental Health Data 
Archive (NDA), REVISION--0925-0667--expiration date 11/30/2020, 
National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), National Institutes of 
Health (NIH).
    Need and Use of Information Collection: The NIMH Data Archive (NDA) 
is an infrastructure that allows for the submission and storage of 
human subjects' data from researchers conducting studies related to 
many scientific domains, regardless of the source of funding. The NIH 
and NIMH developed this resource to allow for the public collection of 
information from: (1) Individuals who seek permission to access data 
from the NDA for the purpose of scientific investigation, scholarship 
or teaching, or other forms of research and research development,

[[Page 65856]]

via the Data Use Certification (DUC), and (2) individuals who request 
permission to submit data to the NDA for the purpose of scientific 
investigation, scholarship or teaching, or other forms of research and 
research development, via the Data Submission Agreement (DSA). The 
extensive information stored in the NDA continues to provide a rare and 
valuable scientific resource to the field and plays an integral part in 
fulfilling research objectives in multiple scientific domains. The NIH 
and the NIMH seek to encourage use of the NDA by investigators in the 
field of multiple scientific research domains to achieve rapid 
scientific progress. In order to take full advantage of this resource 
and maximize its research value, it is important that data are made 
broadly available, on appropriate terms and conditions, to the largest 
possible number of investigators.
    OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to 
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized 
burden hours are 1875.
