FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Diane Kreinbrink, Program Manager,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposed information collection was 
previously published in the Federal Register on May 8, 2023, page 29681 
(Vol. 88, No. 88 FR 29681) 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 Title: Generic Clearance for the Collection of 
Customer Participation and Performance Management with NIH Programs, 
Processes, Products, and Services (NIH), 0925-XXXX: Expiration Date XX/
XX/XXXX, NEW, National Institutes of Health (NIH).
    Need and Use of Information Collection: Evaluating the 
effectiveness of leadership, programs, and services is essential for 
the vitality of any institution. Leadership review at NIH focuses on 
the productivity of the IC, management of resources and budget 
allocations, training activities, and influence on dimensions of 
diversity, accessibility, inclusion, promotion of investigators and 
staff (including NIH Equity Committee (NEC) reports), and positive 
workforce culture.
    Program and service reviews may focus on operational performance; 
outputs, outcomes, and impacts; policy compliance, stewardship, 
diversity, equity, accessibility, and inclusion. Reviews and 
evaluations may solicit input from IC staff and leadership (IC 
Director, Deputy Director, E.O.) and relevant program participants and 
stakeholders about the program's effectiveness, leader, or process. 
They may include comparisons with other ICs or programs, external 
benchmarks, and outcome metrics where appropriate and applicable. This 
input should provide meaningful information that can be used to 
identify strengths and areas that need improvement. Reports developed 
from the review or evaluation may be presented and shared as needed by 
the program when necessary. Such reports may include recommendations 
and proposed actions to address areas for improvement. In public or 
broadly shared reports, any sensitive information in the reviews or 
evaluations will be summarized and presented in aggregate.
    This clearance will allow direct assessment and measurement of the 
customer/respondent base for participation in and satisfaction with NIH 
programs, processes, products, and services. The clearance will also 
enable offices to assess participants' experience and accomplishments 
during or since participation and their preferences for existing and 
future programming, products, and services. The information collected 
using these tools informs and supports budgeting, program management 
and design, program planning, results reporting, information 
dissemination, process improvement, and outreach initiatives.
    OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to 
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized 
burden hours are 3,833.
