SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposed information collection was
previously published in the Federal Register on September 25, 2025,
page 46230 (90 FR 46230) 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 Intramural Research (OIR), Office of the Director,
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: Special Volunteer and Guest Researcher
Assignment, Extension of NIH Form 590, NIH Form 590-1 and NIH Form 590-
2, OMB # 0925-0177, exp. date March 31, 2026, Office of Intramural
Research (OIR), Office of the Director (OD), National Institutes of
Health (NIH).
Need and Use of Information Collection: Form Number NIH-590 is a
single form completed by an NIH official for each Guest Researcher or
Special Volunteer prior to his/her arrival at NIH. The information on
the form is necessary for the approving official to reach a decision on
whether to allow a Guest Researcher to use NIH facilities, or whether
to accept volunteer services offered by a Special Volunteer. If the
original assignment is extended, another form notating the extension is
completed to update the file. In addition to NIH Form 590, Guest
Researchers fill a separate Guest Researcher Agreement, NIH Form 590-1,
and Special Volunteers fill a separate Special Volunteer Agreement, NIH
Form 590-2. These additional forms are the legal instruments for the
Guest Researcher or Special Volunteer to acknowledge and agree to the
conditions and responsibilities of their assignment at NIH. No
revisions are proposed for any of the three forms currently.
OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized
burden hours are 652.
