Background Information on the RoC:
Published biennially, each edition of the
RoC is cumulative and consists of
substances newly reviewed in addition
to those listed in previous editions. For
each listed substance, the RoC contains
a substance profile, which provides
information on cancer studies that
support the listing—including those in
humans and animals and studies on
possible mechanisms of action,
information about potential sources of
exposure to humans, and current
Federal regulations to limit exposures.
The 14th RoC, the latest edition, was
published on November 3, 2016
(available at https://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/

Background Information on NTP PeerReview Panels: NTP panels are
technical, scientific advisory bodies
established on an ‘‘as needed’’ basis to
provide independent scientific peer
review and advise NTP on agents of
public health concern, new/revised
toxicological test methods, or other
issues. These panels help ensure
transparent, unbiased, and scientifically
rigorous input to the program for its use
in making credible decisions about
human hazard, setting research and
testing priorities, and providing
information to regulatory agencies about
alternative methods for toxicity
screening. NTP welcomes nominations
of scientific experts for upcoming
panels. Scientists interested in serving

The authority for NTP panels is
provided by 42 U.S.C. 217a; section 222
of the Public Health Service Act, as
amended. The panel is governed by the
Federal Advisory Committee Act, as
amended (5 U.S.C. Appendix 2), which

Submission for OMB Review; 30-Day
Comment Request; Generic Clearance
for the Collection of Qualitative
Feedback on Agency Service Delivery
(Eunice Kennedy Shriver National
Institute of Child Health and Human
Development)
AGENCY:
National Institutes of Health,
HHS.
ACTION:
Notice.
In compliance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the
National Institutes of Health (NIH) has
submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) a request for review
and approval of the information
collection listed below.
DATES: Comments regarding this
information collection are best assured
of having their full effect if received
within 30-days of the date of this
publication.
SUMMARY:
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: Desk
Officer for NIH.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
proposed information collection was
previously published in the Federal
Register on August 28, 2017, page 40778
(82 FR 40778) 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 Eunice Kennedy Shriver National
Institute of Child Health and Human
Development (NICHD), 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 displays a
currently valid OMB control number.
In compliance with 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 for review and
approval of the information collection
listed below.
Proposed Collection: Generic
Clearance for the Collection of
Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service
Delivery–0925–0643, Expiration Date
10/31/2014, REINSTATEMENT
WITHOUT CHANGE, Eunice Kennedy
Shriver National Institute of Child
Health and Human Development
(NICHD), National Institutes of Health
(NIH).
Need and Use of Information
Collection: The proposed information
collection activity provides a means to
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 information
about the NICHD’s 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
E:\FR\FM\09NON1.SGM
09NON1
52068
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 216 / Thursday, November 9, 2017 / Notices
NICHD and its customers and
stakeholders. It will also allow feedback
to contribute directly to the
improvement of program management.
The solicitation of feedback will target
areas such as: Timeliness,
appropriateness, accuracy of
information, courtesy, efficiency of
service delivery, and resolution of
issues with service delivery. Responses
will be assessed to plan and inform
efforts to improve or maintain the
quality of service offered to the public.
If this information is not collected, vital
feedback from customers and
stakeholders on the NICHD’s services
will be unavailable.
The NICHD will only submit a
collection for approval under this
generic clearance if it meets the
following conditions:
• The collections are voluntary;
• The collections are low-burden for
respondents (based on considerations of
total burden hours, total number of
respondents, or burden-hours per
respondent) and are low-cost for both
the respondents and the Federal
Government;
• The collections are noncontroversial and do not raise issues of
concern to other Federal agencies;
• Any collection is targeted to the
solicitation of opinions from
respondents who have experience with
the program or may have experience
with the program in the near future;
• Personally identifiable information
(PII) is collected only to the extent
necessary and is not retained;
• Information gathered will be used
only internally for general service
improvement and program management
purposes and is not intended for release
outside of the agency;
• Information gathered will not be
used for the purpose of substantially
informing influential policy decisions;
and
• Information gathered will yield
qualitative information; the collections
will not be designed or expected to
yield statistically reliable results or used
as though the results are generalizable to
the population of study.
Feedback collected under this generic
clearance provides useful information,
but it does 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 to
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.
As a general matter, information
collections will not result in any new
system of records containing privacy
information and will not ask questions
of a sensitive nature, such as sexual
behavior and attitudes, religious beliefs,
and other matters that are commonly
considered private.
OMB approval is requested for 3
years. There are no costs to respondents
other than their time. The total
estimated annualized burden hours are
4,950.
