Proposed Collection Title: The Drug Accountability Record (Form NIH 2564) (OMB No. 0925–0240). Type of Information Collection Request: Extension with changes. Need and Use of Information Collection: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations require investigators to establish a record of receipt, use and disposition of all investigational agents. The National Cancer Institute (NCI), as a sponsor of investigational agent trials, has the responsibility to assure the FDA that investigators in its clinical trials program are maintaining systems for agent accountability. In order to fulfill these requirements, a standard Investigational Drug Accountability Report Form (DARF) NIH–2564, was designed to account for agent inventories and usage by protocols. The data obtained from the agent accountability record will be used to keep track of the dispensing of investigational agent anticancer agents to patients. It is used by the NCI management to ensure that investigational agent supplies are not diverted for inappropriate protocol or patient use. The information is also compared to patient flow sheets (protocol reporting forms) during site visits conducted for each investigator every three years. All comparisons are done with the intention of ensuring protocol, patient and agent compliance for patient safety and protection. Frequency of Response: Approximately 16 times per year. Affected Public: Private sector including businesses, other for-profit organizations, and nonprofit institutions. Type of Respondents: Investigators, pharmacists, nurses, pharmacy technicians, and data managers. The annualized respondents’ burden for record keeping is estimated to require 6,714 hours (Table 1). There are no capital costs, operating costs, or maintenance costs to report.
