Locator (National Cancer Institute)
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

best assured of having their full effect if received within 60 days of
the date of this publication.
Proposed Collection: Specimen Resource Locator, Existing Collection
in Use without OMB Control Number, National Cancer Institute (NCI),
National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Need and Use of Information Collection: The availability of
specimens and associated data is critical to increase our knowledge of
cancer biology, and to translate important research discoveries to
clinical application. The discovery and validation of cancer prevention
markers require access, by researchers, to quality clinical
biospecimens. In response, to this need, the National Cancer
Institute's (NCI) Cancer Diagnosis Program has developed, and is
expanding, a searchable database: Specimen Resource Locator (SRL). The
SRL allows scientist in the research community and the NCI to locate
specimens needed for their research. The SRL will list all NCI
supported repositories and their links. This administrative submission
is an on-line form that will collect information to manage and improve
a program and its resources for the use of all scientists. This
submission does not involve any analysis.
OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized
burden hours are 104.
