    Proposed Collection Title: The National Institute of Mental Health 
Data Archive (NDA), NIMH, 0925-0667, expiration date 1/31/2024, 
REVISION, 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 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 manage access to this data system, 
NIMH collects information from two categories of NDA users: (1) 
Investigators 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, via the Data Use 
Certification (DUC), and (2) investigators 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). This REVISION 
request is intended to facilitate NDA users' completion of the DUC and 
DSA by providing them with clearer guidance and updated background 
information.
    OMB approval is requested for three years. There are no costs to 
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized 
burden hours are 1,875.
