Repositories Data Submission Request; NIMH Data Repositories Data 
Access and Use Certification

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 
Health (NIMH), 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: 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

    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: NIMH Data Repositories (NDR) Data Submission 
Request, the NIMH Data Repositories Data Access and Use Certification, 
0925-0667 Revision; National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), 
National Institutes of Health (NIH).
    Need and Use of Information Collection: The National Institutes of 
Mental Health (NIMH) Data Repositories are a group of Federal data 
repositories based on an informatics platform for human-subjects 
research domains related to mental health, initially established as the 
National Database for Autism Research (NDAR) to support autism-related 
research. In 2013, NIMH received approval from OMB for use of the NIMH 
Data Access Request and Use Certification (DUC) Form to meet the unique 
data access needs of all existing NIMH data repositories, which at the 
time consisted of NDAR, Pediatric MRI (PedsMRI), and the NIMH Clinical 
Research Datasets (NCRD)--OMB# 0925-0667 (Expiration: 09/30/2016). Now 
in 2014, two new databases have been added and integrated into the NDAR 
infrastructure, NDCT and RDoCdb. At this time, NIMH is seeking OMB 
approval to add an all-purpose NIMH Data Repositories Data Submission 
Request Form and to add a revised all-purpose NIMH Data Repositories 
Data Access and Use Certification Form. As the data repositories have 
matured, and with the introduction of the new databases--namely NDCT 
and RDoCdb--the information being collected for data submission has 
become more complex, rendering an OMB-approved submission form a new 
necessity.
    OMB approval is requested for three years. There are no costs to 
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized 
burden hours are 221.
