AGENCY: National Institutes of Health, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In compliance with the requirement of the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995 to provide opportunity for public comment on proposed data 
collection projects, the Division of Program Coordination, Planning, 
and Strategic Initiatives (DPCPSI), Office of the Director (OD), 
National Institutes of Health (NIH), plans to request review and 
approval by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) of the 
information collection listed below.

DATES: Comments regarding this information collection are best assured 
of having their full effect if received within 30 days of the date of 
this publication.

ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed 
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of 
this notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find this particular 
information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--
Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To request more information on the 
proposed project or to obtain a copy of the data collection plans and 
instruments, contact: Lora Kutkat, Division of Program Coordination, 
Planning, and Strategic Initiatives, OD, NIH, Building 1, Room 260, 1 
Center Drive, Bethesda, MD 20892; or call non-toll-free number 301-402-
9852; or email your request, including your address, to 
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposed information collection was 
previously published in the Federal Register on February 21, 2023 (88 
FR 10527) 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 Office of the Director, National 
Institutes of Health (NIH), 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 Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB) control number.
    In compliance with Section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995, NIH has submitted to OMB a request for review and approval 
of the information collection listed below.
    Proposed Collection Title: Chimpanzee Research Use Form, 0925-0705, 
expiration date 9/30/2023, 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 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 three years. There are no costs to 
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized 
burden hours are 10.
