DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

National Institutes of Health


Proposed Collection; 60-Day Comment Request; Generic Clearance 
for National Cancer Institute (NCI) Resources, Software and Data 
Sharing Forms

AGENCY: National Institutes of Health, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: In compliance with the requirement of the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995 to provide an opportunity for public comment on proposed 
data collection projects, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) will 
publish periodic summaries of proposed projects to be submitted to the 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval.

DATES: Comments regarding this information collection are best assured 
of having their full effect if received within 60 days of the date of 
this publication.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To obtain a copy of the data 
collection plans and instruments, submit comments in writing, or 
request more information on the proposed project, contact Melissa Park, 
Office of Management Policy and Compliance, National Cancer Institute, 
9609 Medical Center Drive, Rockville, Maryland 20850 or call non-toll-
free number (240) 276-5717 or Email your request, including your 
address to: [email protected]. Formal requests for additional plans 
and instruments must be requested in writing.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995 requires written comments and/or suggestions from 
the public, and affected agencies are invited to address one or more of 
the following points: (1) Whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the function of 
the agency, including whether the information will have practical 
utility; (2) The accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used; (3) Ways to enhance the quality, 
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) Ways 
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who 
are to respond, including the use of appropriate automated, electronic, 
mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms 
of information technology.
    Proposed Collection Title: Generic Clearance for National Cancer 
Institute (NCI) NCI Resources, Software and Data Sharing Forms, 0925-
0775, Expiration Date 06/30/2025, REVISION, National Cancer Institute 
(NCI), National Institutes of Health (NIH).
    Need and Use of Information Collection: This is a request for OMB 
to approve the revision of the collection titled ``Generic Clearance 
for National Cancer Institute (NCI) NCI Resources, Software and Data 
Sharing Forms'' for an additional three years of data collection. In 
preparation for dissemination and sharing of data sets, forms 
requesting or applying for access, upload, share, and store data will 
be needed. The purpose of data sharing allows data generated from one 
research study to be used to answer questions beyond the original 
study. It reinforces open scientific inquiry, encourages diversity of 
analysis, supports studies on data collection methods and measurement, 
facilitates the education of new researchers, and enables the 
exploration of topics not envisioned by the initial investigators. 
Biomedical researchers and data scientists can use the NCI cloud 
resources, web interface, and computational workspaces to query, submit 
data, analyze, and visualize data. The forms would be used to register 
a scientist's research data, apply for data storage, and submit a 
request to access and use the data. In addition to these forms, forms 
related to metadata information (i.e., related to the collection of the 
research data; how the data was collected) would be collected for some 
research. This revision is updated to include a newer version of one of 
the Data Submission Request Forms.
    OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to 
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized 
burden is 5,775 hours.
