information collection listed below.

Formal requests for additional plans and instruments must be requested

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposed information collection was 
previously published in the Federal Register on May 5, 2022, pages 
26768 & 26769 (87 FR 26768) 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 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: Conference, Meeting, Workshop, Registration 
and Challenges Generic Clearance, -0925-0740--REVISION, expiration date 
07/31/2022, National Institutes of Health (NIH).
    Need and Use of Information Collection: This is a revision of a 
currently approved generic clearance to include Challenges and 
Competitions as a means of promoting innovative solutions. As a result 
of including Challenges and Competitions, the title of this generic has 
been revised. This generic will continue to provide a quick and 
efficient process to create registration forms for NIH sponsored 
conference, meetings, workshops, poster sessions, presentations, and 
panels. NIH directly sponsors, organizes, and conducts research-related 
activities such as conferences, workshops, meetings, poster sessions, 
and training courses. These activities are designed to be relevant to 
the current state of research in a given field or to the current state 
of participant's research projects or careers, and other resource 
limitations and determine the number of possible participants. For such 
activities to be timely and to optimally use available resources to 
address needs and opportunities within the research community, it is 
necessary for NIH to have a means to register and select the most 
appropriate participants, according to the type or purpose of a given 
activity.
    OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to 
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized 
burden hours are 10,375.
