Human Tissue Biobanking (NCI)
Summary: In compliance with the
requirement of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
for opportunity for public comment on
proposed data collection projects, the
National Cancer Institute (NCI),

publish periodic summaries of proposed
projects to be submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for

Written comments and/or suggestions
from the public and affected agencies

agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3)
Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
based survey is to collect information
regarding the challenges that human
tissue biobanks encounter in achieving
financially sustainable operations. The
information will be used to assist the
National Cancer Institute (NCI) in
strategizing program plans to provide
increased and tailored support for
national and international biobanks.
The survey will collect a combination of
structured, quantitative, and free-text
descriptive data that characterize the
type and maturity of respondent
biobanks, their sources of funding, and
their usage of funding in conducting
operations. The survey will also collect
information describing the difficulties
in maintaining funding sources and
establishing new ones. Finally, the
survey will elicit descriptions of
techniques used to overcome the
difficulties.
It is expected that the information
generated by this survey will be used to
inform published guidance to biobanks
regarding the financial hazards to
sustained operations and the means by
which these hazards can be avoided or
overcome.
OMB approval is requested for 1 year.
There are no costs to respondents other
than their time. The total estimated
annualized burden hours are 822.
