Support Programs and Administrative Operations at the National Cancer
Institute (NCI)
SUMMARY: In compliance with the requirement of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, for opportunity for public comment
on proposed data collection projects, the National Cancer Institute
(NCI), National Institutes of Health (NIH), will publish periodic
summaries of proposed projects to be submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval.
Written comments and/or suggestions from the public and affected
agencies are invited on 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.
To Submit Comments and For Further Information: To obtain a copy of
the data collection plans and instruments, submit comments in writing,
or request more information on the proposed project, contact: Vivian
Horovitch-Kelley, PRA/OMB Project Clearance Liaison, Office of
Management Policy and Compliance (OMPC), National Cancer Institute,
11400 Rockville Pike, Room 707, Rockville, MD 20852 or call non-toll-
free number 301-480-0541 or Email your request, including your address
to: [email protected]. Formal requests for additional plans
and instruments must be requested in writing.
Comment Due Date: Comments regarding this information collection
are best assured of having their full effect if received within 60 days
of the date of this publication.
Proposed Collection: Generic Clearance to Support Programs and
Administrative Operations At the National Cancer Institute (NCI), 0925-
NEW, National Cancer Institute (NCI), National Institutes of Health
(NIH).
Need and Use of Information Collection: This is a request for a
new, generic submission that would be used for administrative and
program-related submissions. Administrative submissions are defined as
information collections (ICs) wherein the primary content is used for
administrative purposes (e.g., an application) or to monitor or improve
a program. These ICs may involve little if any, subsequent analysis
and/or the use of simple, descriptive statistics. Some ICs are forms
used to source and aggregate contact information, history, preferences,
opinions, and/or other data that does not necessitate further inquiry
but allow the respondents to maintain contact, indicate preferences,
and respond to data calls of information that has not already been
collected. Other ICs may be program-related requests for the purpose of
monitoring, improving or assessing the effectiveness of the program.
NCI program staff who have submitted sub-projects that have been
reviewed and returned by OMB, have contributed ideas and comments to
this request. Along with the analysis, NCI's ongoing education and
outreach effort has increased the awareness and the need for the
request of a generic, administrative and program-related information
collection. NCI's current scope and capacity for administrative generic
sub-studies is non-existent and this request would fill this gap.
OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized
burden hours are 5,000.
