Access Request

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 Institute of Mental

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: Keisha 
Shropshire, NIMH Project Clearance Liaison, Science Policy and 
Evaluation Branch, OSPPC, NIMH, NIH, Neuroscience Center, 6001 
Executive Boulevard, MSC 9667, Rockville Pike, Bethesda, MD 20892, or 
call 301-443-4335 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 received within 60 days of the date of 
this publication will receive fullest consideration.
    Proposed Collection: National Institute of Health Neurobiobank 
Tissue Access Request-0925-New. National Institute of Mental Health 
(NIMH), National Institute of Health (NIH).
    Need and Use of Information Collection: The NIH Neurobiobank Tissue 
Access Request form is necessary for ``Recipient'' Principal 
Investigators and their organization or corporations with approved 
assurance from the DHHS Office of Human Research Protections to access 
tissue or biospecimens from the National Neurobiobank for research 
purposes. The primary use of this information is to document, track, 
monitor, and evaluate the appropriate use of the Neurobiobank tissue 
and biospecimen resources, as well as to notify interested recipients 
of updates, corrections or other changes to the system.
    OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to 
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized 
burden hours are 63.
