Proposed Collection; 60-Day Comment Request; The National
Institute of Mental Health Data Archive (NDA), (NIMH)
AGENCY: National Institutes of Health, HHS.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In compliance with the requirement of the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 to provide opportunity for public comment on proposed data
collection projects, the 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.
DATES: Comments regarding this information collection are best assured
of having their full effect if received within 60 days of the date of
this publication.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To obtain a copy of the data
collection plans and instruments, submit comments in writing, or
request more information on the proposed project, contact: Melba Rojas,
NIMH Project Clearance Liaison, Science Policy and Evaluation Branch,
Office of Science Policy, Planning and Communications, NIMH,
Neuroscience Center, 6001 Executive Boulevard, MSC 9667, Bethesda,

instruments must be requested in writing.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 requires: written comments and/or suggestions
from the public and affected agencies are invited to address 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.
Proposed Collection Title: The National Institute of Mental Health
Data Archive (NDA), REVISION, OMB Control Number 0925-0667, National
Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Need and Use of Information Collection: This REVISION request seeks
approval of updates to the previously approved National Database for
Autism Research Data Access Request and Data Use Certification
documents. The NIMH Data Archive (NDA), formerly known as the National
Database for Autism Research (NDAR), is an infrastructure that allows
for the submission and storage of human subjects data from researchers
conducting studies related to many scientific domains, regardless of
the source of funding. The NIH and NIMH developed this resource to
allow for the public collection of information from: (1) Individuals
who seek permission to access data from the NDA for the purpose of
scientific investigation, scholarship or teaching, or other forms of
research and research development, via the Data Use Certification
(DUC), and (2) individuals who request permission to submit data to the
NDA for the purpose of scientific investigation, scholarship or
teaching, or other forms of research and research development, via the
Data Submission Agreement (DSA). The extensive information stored in
the NDA continues to provide a rare and valuable scientific resource to
the field, and plays an integral part in fulfilling research objectives
in multiple scientific domains. The NIH and the NIMH seek to encourage
use of the NDA by investigators in the field of multiple scientific
research domains to achieve rapid scientific progress. In order to take
full advantage of this resource and maximize its research value, it is
important that data are made broadly available, on appropriate terms
and conditions, to the largest possible number of investigators.
OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized
burden hours are 1000.
