Collection: This application system
provides one electronic form to be used
by all research organizations that wish
to request a Certificate of Confidentiality

CoC and to issue the CoC to the
requesting organization. It is anticipated
that the NIH ICs will issue
approximately 1300 new CoCs each year
for eligible research projects.
OMB approval is requested for 3
years. There are no costs to respondents
other than their time. The total
annualized burden hours estimate is
1,951.

of the Public Health Service Act, 42
U.S.C. 241(d)), CoCs are issued by the
agencies of Department of Health and
Human Services (HHS), including the
NIH, to authorize researchers
conducting sensitive research to protect
the privacy of human research subjects
by enabling them to refuse to release
names and identifying characteristics of
subjects to anyone not connected with
the research. At the NIH, the issuance of
CoCs has been delegated to the
individual NIH Institutes and Centers
(ICs). To make the application process
consistent across the entire agency, OER
launched an electronic application
