The 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 February 28, 2023, 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: Electronic Application for NIH Certificates of Confidentiality (CoC E-application System), 0925–0689, REVISION, exp., date 02/28/2023, Office of Extramural Research (OER), National Institutes of Health (NIH). Need and Use of Information Collection: The current CoC system sends system communications and the approved Certificate to the Principal Investigator and the Institutional Official. The optional data fields will allow the requester to identify another person that receives CoC system PO 00000 Frm 00106 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 communications and the approved Certificate. This request system provides one electronic form to be used by all non-NIH funded research organizations that request a discretionary Certificates of Confidentiality (CoC) from NIH. As described in the authorizing legislation (Section 301(d) of the Public Health Service Act, 42 U.S.C. 241(d)), CoCs are issued by the agencies of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), including NIH, to authorize researchers to protect the privacy of human research subjects by prohibiting them from releasing names and identifying characteristics of research participants to anyone not connected with the research, except in limited circumstances specified in the statute. At NIH, the issuance of discretionary CoCs has been delegated to the OER in the NIH Office of the Director. NIH received 795 requests for CoCs from January 2020 through December 2020 and expects to receive approximately the same number of requests in subsequent years. The NIH has been using an online CoC system to review requests and issue CoCs since 2015. The current CoC request form includes six sections of information collected from research organizations. The information provided is used to determine eligibility for a CoC and to issue the CoC to the requesting organization. Eligible requesting organizations that provide legally binding affirmations that they will abide by the terms of the CoC are issued a Certificate of Confidentiality. This system has increased efficiency and reduced burden for both requesters and NIH staff who currently process these requests. OMB approval is requested for three years. There are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 1193.

No more than 15 percent of these funds may be used for infrastructure, supplies, or equipment. SAMHSA expects that this program will improve the behavioral health of individuals across the nation by providing comprehensive communitybased mental and substance use disorder services; treatment of cooccurring disorders; advance the integration of behavioral health with physical health care; assimilate and utilize evidence-based practices on a more consistent basis; and promote improved access to high quality care. Supplemental awards will be prioritized for FY 2020 CCBHC Expansion grant recipients with an unobligated balance of less than $1,000,000 under their current grant. This is not a formal request for application. Assistance will only be provided to the 166 CCBHC Expansion grant recipients, funded in FY 2020 under NOFO SM–20–012, based on the receipt of a satisfactory application and associated budget that is approved by a review group. Funding Opportunity Title: FY 2020 CCBHC Expansion Supplemental Funding. Assistance Listing Number: 93.696. Authority: Section 520A (42 U.S.C. 290bb–32) of the Public Health Service Act, as amended. Justification: Eligibility for this supplemental funding is limited to the 166 CCBHC Expansion grant recipients who received funding in FY 2020 under the CCBHC Expansion Grants NOFO SM–20–012. These recipients have experienced unexpected and/or increased costs for program activities and services due to the COVID–19 pandemic. It is expected that this supplemental funding will allow CCBHC Expansion grant recipients to provide the required and approved program activities and services that were affected during the pandemic.
