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 Cancer Institute (NCI) will publish
periodic summaries of propose 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

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 Title: Specimen Resource Locator, 0925-0703:
Reinstatement without Change, 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 105.
