<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#3b565e575248485a154b5a49507b555253155c544d"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="84e9e1e8edf7f7e5aaf4e5f6efc4eaedecaae3ebf2">[email&#160;protected]</span></a>. Formal requests for additional plans and 
instruments must be requested in writing.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposed information collection was 
previously published in the Federal Register on January 12, 2026 (Vol. 
91, No. 7 FR 1192) 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 
Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service Delivery (NCI), 0925-0642, 
Expiration Date 03/31/2026, EXTENSION, National Cancer Institute (NCI), 
National Institutes of Health (NIH).
    Need and Use of Information Collection: This activity collects 
qualitative customer and stakeholder feedback efficiently and timely, 
per the Administration's commitment to improving service delivery. This 
generic provides information about the National Cancer Institute's 
customer or stakeholder perceptions, experiences, and expectations; 
provides an early warning of service issues; or focuses on areas where 
communication, training, or operations changes might improve product or 
service delivery. It also allows feedback to contribute directly to the 
improvement of program management. Feedback collected under this 
generic clearance provides valuable information but will not yield data 
that can be generalized to the overall population.
    OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to 
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized 
burden hours are 9,337 hours.
