Submission for OMB Review; 30-Day Comment Request; Cancer
Epidemiology Descriptive Cohort Database (NCI)
SUMMARY: Under the provisions of 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. This
proposed information collection was previously published in the Federal
Register on June 18, 2014, Vol. 79, page 34766 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.
Direct Comments To OMB: Written comments and/or suggestions
regarding the item(s) contained in this notice, especially regarding
the estimated public burden and associated response time, should be
directed to the: Office of Management and Budget, Office of Regulatory
Affairs, [email protected] or by fax to 202-395-6974,
Attention: NIH Desk Officer.
Comment Due Date: Comments regarding this information collection
are best assured of having their full effect if received within 30-days
of the date of this publication.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To obtain a copy of the data
collection plans and instruments or request more information on the
proposed project contact: Daniela Seminara, Senior Scientist and Cohort
and Consortia Coordination Team Lead, Epidemiology and Genomics
Research Program (EGRP), Division of Cancer Control and Population
Sciences (DCCPS), 9609 Medical Center Drive, Rockville, Md. 20892 or
call non-toll-free number 240-276-6748 or email your request, including
your address to: [email protected]. Formal requests for additional
plans and instruments must be requested in writing.
Proposed Collection: Cancer Epidemiology Descriptive Cohort
Database, 0925--New, National Cancer Institute (NCI), National
Institutes of Health (NIH).
Need and Use of Information Collection: The NCI Epidemiology and
Genomics Research Program (EGRP) supports large-scale collaborations
across numerous cancer epidemiology cohorts. The collaborative approach
to date has been lacking in easily accessible, centralized, and
searchable information. To address the need for better collaborative
research and increased transparency, EGRP will develop a Cancer
Epidemiology Descriptive Cohort Database (CEDCD) accessible through a
public Web site. The information collected from the current survey will
be used to populate the CEDCD. This public Web site will allow
investigators to know what data and specimens exist among other
cohorts. Respondents will be cohort Principal Investigators. The data
collection forms will be sent to participating cohort PIs annually to
update any information that has changed so that the CEDCD Web site will
remain current. No cohort participant-level data is being collected
from any of the cohorts.
The information to be collected will be aggregate descriptive
information and protocols. Though the CEDCD has a biospecimen component
(similar to the Specimen Resource Locator), the CEDCD is not a
biospecimen locator database. It is a database focusing exclusively on
descriptive data pertaining to large, prospective epidemiology cohorts.
OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized
burden hours are 550.
