Formal requests for additional plans and instruments must be requested in writing. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposed information collection was previously published in the Federal Register on April 30, 2025 (Vol. 90 FR 17941) and allowed 60 days for public comment. One public comment was 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. In compliance with 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. Proposed Collection Title Generic Clearance for National Cancer Institute (NCI) NCI Resources, Software and Data Sharing Forms, 0925-0775, Expiration Date 06/30/2025, REINSTATEMENT WITH CHANGE, National Cancer Institute (NCI), National Institutes of Health (NIH). Need and Use of Information Collection: This is a request for OMB to approve the revision of the collection titled “Generic Clearance for National Cancer Institute (NCI) NCI Resources, Software and Data Sharing Forms” for an additional three years of data collection. In preparation for dissemination and sharing of data sets, forms requesting or applying for access, upload, share, and store data will be needed. The purpose of data sharing allows data generated from one research study to be used to answer questions beyond the original study. It reinforces open scientific inquiry, encourages diversity of analysis, supports studies on data collection methods and measurement, facilitates the education of new researchers, and enables the exploration of topics not envisioned by the initial investigators. Biomedical researchers and data scientists can use the NCI cloud resources, web interface, and computational workspaces to query, submit data, analyze, and visualize data. The forms would be used to register a scientist's research data, apply for data storage, and submit a request to access and use the data. In addition to these forms, forms related to metadata information ( i.e., related to the collection of the research data; how the data was collected) would be collected for some research. This revision is updated to include a newer version of one of the Data Submission Request Forms. OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized burden is 5,775 hours.
