Department of Health and Human Services May 3, 2011 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

Under the provisions of Section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the National Cancer Institute (NCI), 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 February 11, 2011 (76 FR 7867) 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 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. Proposed Collection: Title: cancer Biomedical Informatics Grid [supreg] (caBIG [supreg]) Support Service Provider (SSP) Program (NCI). Type of Information Collection Request: Existing Collection in Use Without an OMB Number. Need and Use of Information Collection: The NCI Center for Biomedical Informatics and Information Technology (CBIIT) launched the enterprise phase of the caBIG [supreg] initiative in early 2007 with an emphasis on widespread institutional adoption of the program and tools. This emphasis on adoption has generated an expanding community with diverse needs for support, which are met through the resources available through the caBIG [supreg] Enterprise Support Network (ESN), including the caBIG [supreg] Support Service Provider (SSP) Program. The caBIG [supreg] SSPs provide caBIG [supreg] end-users with the freedom to match what caBIG [supreg] has to offer to their unique organizational goals and needs, so having this customized support option available is critically important to advancing the goals of the caBIG [supreg] program. caBIG [supreg] SSP applicants are evaluated against well-defined criteria published in the SSP Program Announcement and must successfully demonstrate that they have the technical capabilities, staffing and scalability, geographic coverage (when applicable), and the domain expertise in biomedicine to effectively serve caBIG [supreg] users. The information submitted by SSP applicants enables NCI to determine whether such applicants are qualified to enter into trademark license negotiations with NCI to use the caBIG [supreg] trademarks in connection with their services and become designated as caBIG [supreg] SSPs. Thus, the collection of information from SSP applicants is critical to both ensuring that the goals and objectives of the caBIG [supreg] program will be maintained and furthered by the organizations designated as SSPs and facilitating NCI's ability to exercise appropriate stewardship of the caBIG [supreg] trademarks. Sections 410 and 411 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 285 and 285a) authorize the collection of the information. Frequency of Response: once for the applicants. caBIG [supreg] SSP applications are accepted on a rolling basis and reviewed several times a year. Affected Public: Private sector including Business or other for-profits and not- for-profit organizations and institutions. Type of Respondents: Technical representatives of commercial, academic or not-for-profit organizations. The annual reporting burden is estimated at 360 hours. There are no Capital Costs, Operating Costs, and/or Maintenance Costs to report.
