information on how to properly identify
DURC, appropriate methods for
ensuring research that is determined to
be DURC, and that it is conducted and
communicated responsibly.
Form numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Private
sector and federal-owned/contractoroperated labs.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:

Policy and Procedures for Managing
Dual Use Research of Concern).
Estimated number of respondents:
Forty (total).
Frequency of response: Only once
and/or as necessary.

Changes in estimates: There is
decrease of 52 burden hours in the total
estimated respondent burden compared
with the ICR currently approved by

adjustment in estimates to account for
the number of hours required to perform
recordkeeping duties.
