Proposed Collection; 60-Day Comment Request; Specimen Resource
Locator (National Cancer Institute)
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 Institutes of Health, 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: Joanne
Demchok, Program Director, Cancer Diagnosis Program, Division of Cancer
Treatment and Diagnosis, 9609 Medical Center Drive, Rockville, Md.
20892 or call non-toll-free number 240-276-5959 or Email your request,
including your address to: <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#becedbcadbccd4d1fed3dfd7d290d0d7d690d9d1c8"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="4131243524332b2e012c20282d6f2f28296f262e37">[email protected]</span></a>. 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 minimizes 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: Specimen Resource Locator (NCI), 0925-
0703: Expiration Date 11/30/2023, EXTENSION, National Cancer Institute
(NCI), National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Need and Use of Information Collection: The availability of
specimens and associated data is critical to increase our knowledge of
cancer biology and to translate important research discoveries into
clinical applications. The development of molecular technologies in
cancer patients with defined molecular abnormalities advances the
identification and development of clinically useful biomarkers and
diagnostic assays that guide treatment.
The discovery and validation of cancer prevention markers require
researchers' access to quality clinical biospecimens. In response to
this need, NCI's Cancer Diagnosis Program developed, and is expanding,
a searchable database: Specimen Resource Locator (SRL) <a href="https://specimens.cancer.gov/tissue/default.htm">https://specimens.cancer.gov/tissue/default.htm</a>. The SRL allows scientists in
the research community and the NCI
[[Page 22050]]
to locate specimens needed for their research. The SRL lists all NCI-
supported and non-NCI-supported biospecimens repositories and their
links. It is not NCI's intent to collect the biospecimens; instead, the
collections are descriptions of the available data that can act as a
resource and be shared with interested researchers and scientists. This
submission does not involve any analysis.
OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized
burden hours are 105.
