Submission for OMB Review; 30-day Comment Request: Cancer 
Genomics Cloud Pilots Survey (NCI)

SUMMARY: Under the provisions of Section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995, the National Cancer Institute (NCI), the 
National Institutes of Health, 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 January 
13,

[[Page 15315]]

2016, Vol. 81 pp.1633 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 (NIH), 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: Anthony Kerlavage, NCI CBIIT, Program 
Manager, 9609 Medical Center Drive, Room 1W-436, Rockville, MD 20850 or 
call non-toll-free number 240-276-5190 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 Genomics Cloud Pilots Survey, 0925-NEW, 
National Cancer Institute (NCI), National Institutes of Health (NIH).
    Need and Use of Information Collection Need and Use of Information 
Collection: The Center for Biomedical Informatics and Information 
Technology (CBIIT), in collaboration with the Center for Cancer 
Genomics at the National Cancer Instititues (NCI) in the National 
Institutes of Health (NIH), is coordinating a program to develop three 
Cancer Genomics Cloud Pilots to help meet the research community's 
needs to access and analyze high quality, large-scale cancer genomic 
data and associated clinical information. The goal of this effort is to 
develop an innovative, cost-effective model for computational analysis 
of biological data and provide broader yet secure access to genomic 
data that NCI generates. Cloud computing will be a valuable tool to 
support studies related to the mechanisms of cancer. This capability 
will be equally valuable to other NCI scientific areas, including 
clinical trials and other types of patient-focused research. In order 
to understand the utility and value of the tools being developed, the 
NCI has developed a survey instrument to capture feedback from the 
cancer research community. The information collected as part of this 
survey process will be used exclusively by the NCI to determine future 
funding of cloud technology projects.
    OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to 
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized 
burden hours are 375.
