    Proposed Collection Title: NCI Genomic Data Commons (GDC) Data 
Submission Request Form, 0925-0752, Expiration Date 04/30/2026, 
EXTENSION. National Cancer Institute (NCI), National Institutes of 
Health (NIH).
    Need and Use of Information Collection: The purpose of the NCI 
Genomic Data Commons (GDC) Data Submission Request Form is to continue 
to provide a vehicle for investigators to request the submission of 
their cancer genomic data into the GDC in support of data sharing. The 
purpose is also to provide a mechanism for the GDC Data Submission 
Review Committee to review and assess the data submission request for 
applicability to the GDC mission. The scope of the form involves 
obtaining information from investigators that: (1) would like to submit 
data about their study into the GDC, (2) are affiliated with studies 
that adhere to GDC data submission conditions. The benefits of the 
collection are that it provides the needed information for 
investigators to understand the types of studies and data that the GDC 
supports and that it provides a standard mechanism for the GDC to 
assess incoming data submission requests. The only change requested in 
this Extension is a reduction in the number of respondents from 200 to 
100, resulting in a reduction in the total annual burden hours from 50 
to 25. There are no other substantive changes to this submission other 
than the cost-of-living changes to the federal and labor costs.
    OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to 
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized 
burden hours are 25 hours.
