[FR Doc. 2011–12726 Filed 5–23–11; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4140–01–P DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES National Institutes of Health Submission for OMB review; Comment Request; Process Evaluation of the NIH Roadmap Epigenomics Program Under the provisions of Section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a request to review and approve the information collection listed below. This proposed information collection was previously published in the Federal Register in Vol. 76, No. 49, pages 13648–13649 on March 14, 2011, and allowed 60 days for public SUMMARY: comment. No public comments were received on the planned study or any of the specific topics outlined in the 60day notice. The purpose of this notice is to allow an additional 30 days for public comment. 5 CFR 1320.5 (General requirements) Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements: Final Rule requires that the agency inform the potential persons who are to respond to the collection of information that such persons are not required to respond to the collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. Proposed Collection Title: Process Evaluation of the NIH Roadmap Epigenomics Program. Type of Information Collection Request: New. Need and Use of Information Collection: The proposed information collection is essential to the process evaluation of the NIH Roadmap Epigenomics Program. The process evaluation is a requirement of each of the relevant RFAs funded under the NIH Roadmap Epigenomics Program which require participating in evaluation research activities. This evaluation study, a mixedmethods study which uses secondary source documentation and information from tracking and monitoring systems along with primary data to assess program process and progress, is nonexperimental. The assessment is based on secondary source information, with primary source information collection added to augment the reliability and internal validity. The primary data collection uses information categories that genuinely tap added distinctions and opinions that relate to it to build the weight of evidence from first-hand sources that substantiate the initial hypotheses about the program phenomenon and its differences from a typical research portfolio of individual and insular projects. The synthesized results across primary and secondary data sources will provide critical insights on transformativeness of high-impact, trans-NIH programs and contribute important information about the synergies and collaborations in multicomponent scientific research. It will also identify areas for program improvement and lessons learned that might be useful to other research programs of the Agency. To reduce response bias and to make the survey as accessible as possible to busy principal investigators, the survey will be web-based. Frequency of Response: Once. Affected Public: Principal Investigators of the program at not-forprofit institutions. Type of Respondents: Principle Investigators. The annual reporting burden is as follows: Estimated Number of Respondents: 53. Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 1. Average Burden Hours per Response: .33. Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours Requested: 17.49. The annualized cost to respondents is estimated at: $891.99. There are no Capital Costs, Operating Costs and/or Maintenance Costs to report.

SUMMARY: Under the provisions of Section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), the
National Institutes of Health (NIH), has submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) a request to review and approve the
information collection listed below. This proposed information
collection was previously published in the Federal Register in Vol. 76,
No. 49, pages 13648-13649 on March 14, 2011, and allowed 60 days for
public comment. No public comments were received on the planned study
or any of the specific topics outlined in the 60-day notice. The
purpose of this notice is to allow an additional 30 days for public
comment. 5 CFR 1320.5 (General requirements) Reporting and
Recordkeeping Requirements: Final Rule requires that the agency inform
the potential persons who are to respond to the collection of
information that such persons are not required to respond to the
collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB

Proposed Collection

Title: Process Evaluation of the NIH Roadmap Epigenomics Program.
Type of Information Collection Request: New.
Need and Use of Information Collection: The proposed information
collection is essential to the process evaluation of the NIH Roadmap
Epigenomics Program. The process evaluation is a requirement of each of
the relevant RFAs funded under the NIH Roadmap Epigenomics Program
which require participating in evaluation research activities.
This evaluation study, a mixed-methods study which uses secondary
source documentation and information from tracking and monitoring
systems along with primary data to assess program process and progress,
is non-experimental. The assessment is based on secondary source
information, with primary source information collection added to
augment the reliability and internal validity. The primary data
collection uses information categories that genuinely tap added
distinctions and opinions that relate to it to build the weight of
evidence from first-hand sources that substantiate the initial
hypotheses about the program phenomenon and its differences from a
typical research portfolio of individual and insular projects.
The synthesized results across primary and secondary data sources
will provide critical insights on transformativeness of high-impact,
trans-NIH programs and contribute important information about the
synergies and collaborations in multi-component scientific research. It
will also identify areas for program improvement and lessons learned
that might be useful to other research programs of the Agency.
To reduce response bias and to make the survey as accessible as
possible to busy principal investigators, the survey will be web-based.
Frequency of Response: Once.
Affected Public: Principal Investigators of the program at not-for-
profit institutions.
Type of Respondents: Principle Investigators.
The annual reporting burden is as follows:
Estimated Number of Respondents: 53.
Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 1.
Average Burden Hours per Response: .33.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours Requested: 17.49.
The annualized cost to respondents is estimated at: $891.99.
There are no Capital Costs, Operating Costs and/or Maintenance
Costs to report.
