SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Generic Clearance for the
Collection of Qualitative Feedback on
Agency Service Delivery.
Abstract: The information collection
activity will garner qualitative customer
and stakeholder feedback in an efficient,
timely manner, in accordance with the
Administration’s commitment to
improving service delivery. By
qualitative feedback we mean
information that provides useful
insights on perceptions and opinions,
but are not statistical surveys that yield
quantitative results that can be
generalized to the population of study.
This feedback will provide insights into
customer or stakeholder perceptions,
experiences and expectations, provide
an early warning of issues with service,
or focus attention on areas where
communication, training or changes in
operations might improve delivery of
products or services. These collections
will allow for ongoing, collaborative and
actionable communications between the
Agency and its customers and
stakeholders. It will also allow feedback
to contribute directly to the
improvement of program management.
Feedback collected under this generic
clearance will provide useful
information, but it will not yield data
that can be generalized to the overall
population. This type of generic
clearance for qualitative information
will not be used for quantitative
information collections that are
designed to yield reliably actionable
results, such as monitoring trends over
time or documenting program
performance. Such data uses require
more rigorous designs that address: the
target population to which
generalizations will be made, the
sampling frame, the sample design
(including stratification and clustering),
the precision requirements or power
calculations that justify the proposed
sample size, the expected response rate,
methods for assessing potential nonresponse bias, the protocols for data
collection, and any testing procedures
that were or will be undertaken prior
fielding the study. Depending on the
degree of influence the results are likely
to have, such collections may still be
eligible for submission for other generic
mechanisms that are designed to yield
quantitative results.

Submission for OMB Review; 30-day
Comment Request: Financial
Sustainability of Human Tissue
Biobanking (NCI)
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 May 7, 2013, Vol. 78, p.
26639 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. 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

Direct Comments to OMB: Written
comments and/or suggestions regarding
the item(s) contained in this notice,
especially regarding the estimated
public burden and associated response
time, should be directed to the: Office
of Management and Budget, Office of
Regulatory Affairs,
OIRA_submission@omb.eop.gov or by
fax to 202–395–6974, Attention: NIH
Desk Officer.
Comment Due Date: Comments
regarding this information collection are
best assured of having their full effect if
received within 30-days of the date of
this publication.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To
obtain a copy of the data collection
plans and instruments or request more
information on the proposed project
contact: Jim Vaught, Chief,
Biorepositories and Biospecimen
Research Branch, Cancer Diagnosis
Program, 9609 Medical Center Drive,
Rockville, MD 20892 or call non-tollfree number 240–276–5716 or Email
your request, including your address to:

Proposed Collection: Financial
Sustainability of Human Tissue
Biobanking, 0925–NEW, National
Cancer Institute (NCI), National
Institutes of Health (NIH).
Need and Use of Information
Collection: The purpose of this webbased 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.
