ACTION: Request for comments AGENCY: Under the provisions of 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 to review and approve the information collection listed below. This proposed information collection was previously published in the Federal Register on October 5, 2012 (77 FR 61008), and allowed 60 days for public comment. No public comments were received. The purpose of this notice is to allow an additional 30 days for public comment. NIH 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 SUMMARY: October 1, 1995, unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. Proposed Collection: Title: National Institutes of Health Information Collection Forms to Support Genomic Data Sharing for Research Purposes; Type of Information Collection Request: New; Need and Use of Information Collection: The NIH mission is to seek fundamental knowledge about the nature and behavior of living systems and the application of that knowledge to enhance health, lengthen life, and reduce the burdens of illness and disability. The sharing of research data supports this mission and is essential to facilitate the translation of research results into knowledge, products, practices, and procedures that improve human health. By enabling secondary research questions to be addressed, data sharing maximizes the public benefit achieved through research investments. NIH’s Policy for Sharing of Data Obtained in NIH Supported or Conducted GenomeWide Association Studies (GWAS) was established to enable the full value of GWAS data to be realized. GWAS data are maintained in a central data repository, the database of Genotypes and Phenotypes (dbGaP), which is administered by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), part of the National Library of Medicine at NIH. As stipulated in the NIH GWAS Policy, all principal investigators (PIs) who receive NIH funding to conduct genomic research are expected to register studies with genomic data in dbGaP. The nature of the genomic, phenotypic, and other associated data generated through large-scale human genomic studies requires responsible stewardship throughout research and data sharing activities. Since the data being collected and shared are from human research participants, the protection of participant interests is paramount. PIs submitting data to dbGaP must describe any limitations on sharing the data, as defined in the Study Registration and Data Submission: PI .............................................................................................. Senior Official .................................................................................. srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with Estimated number of responses per respondent Estimated number of respondents Type of respondent informed consent provided by the participants from whom the data were originally collected. PIs must also provide basic study information such as the type of data that will be submitted to dbGaP and a description of the study. Researchers interested in using dbGaP data for secondary research must submit a request through dbGaP and be granted permission from the relevant NIH Data Access Committees to access the data. As part of the request process, researchers must provide information such as a description of the proposed research use of the dbGaP datasets, a data security plan, and a Data Use Certification, in which the researcher agrees to the terms and conditions for use of the data. NIH has developed online forms, which will be available through dbGaP, in an effort to reduce the burden for researchers to complete the study registration, data submission, and data access processes. Frequency of Response: As necessary. Description of Respondents: PIs and senior officials from their institutions. Estimate of Burden: The burden associated with this information collection is calculated in two parts: (1) the burden associated with registering genomic studies and submitting data to dbGaP and (2) the burden associated with applying for genomic data in dbGaP.

SUMMARY: Novel Derivatives of Docosahexaenoylethanolamide as Therapeutics for Neuronal Disorders Description of Technology: This technology provides derivatives of Docosahexaenoylethanolamide (synaptamide or DEA) which have increased potency and hydrolysis resistance as compared to DEA (structures of these derivatives are available upon request), as well as methods of using these derivatives to promote neurogenesis, neurite growth, and/or synaptogenesis. Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), an n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid that accumulates in the brain during development, has been shown to play a key role in learning and memory development. Studies have also shown that DEA, a metabolite derived from DHA is very potent in accelerating neuronal growth and development. The inventors have discovered that the novel DEA derivatives they have designed are even more potent than DEA or DHA in accelerating neuronal growth, synaptogenesis and development. The inventors have shown that treatment of progenitor neural cells with some of these novel DEA derivatives leads to an increase in the amount of somatic neurons produced after differentiation. These novel compounds can be developed as therapeutics for conditions such as trauma, stroke, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease, brain and spinal cord injuries, and peripheral nerve injuries for rehabilitation. Potential Commercial Applications: PO 00000 Frm 00056 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 • Agents to promote neurogenesis, neurite growth, and synaptogenesis. • Therapeutics for neurological conditions, such as traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, peripheral nerve injury, stroke, multiple sclerosis, autism, Alzheimer’s disease, Huntington’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Competitive Advantages: These derivatives of DEA provide increased potency and hydrolysis resistance compared to DEA.

SUMMARY: Under the provisions of 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 to 
review and approve the information collection listed below. This 
proposed information collection was previously published in the Federal 
Register on October 5, 2012 (77 FR 61008), and allowed 60 days for 
public comment. No public comments were received. The purpose of this 
notice is to allow an additional 30 days for public comment. NIH 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.
    Proposed Collection: Title: National Institutes of Health 
Information Collection Forms to Support Genomic Data Sharing for 
Research Purposes; Type of Information Collection Request: New; Need 
and Use of Information Collection: The NIH mission is to seek 
fundamental knowledge about the nature and behavior of living systems 
and the application of that knowledge to enhance health, lengthen life, 
and reduce the burdens of illness and disability. The sharing of 
research data supports this mission and is essential to facilitate the
