SUMMARY:
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, has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a request for review and approval of the information collection listed below. This proposed information collection was previously published in the Federal Register on January 13, 2016, Vol. 81 pp.1633 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 Cancer Institute (NCI), National Institutes of Health (NIH), 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.
Direct Comments to OMB: 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: NIH Desk Officer.
Comment Due Date: Comments regarding this information collection are best assured of having their full effect if received within 30 days of the date of this publication.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
To obtain a copy of the data collection plans and instruments, or request more information on the proposed project, contact: Anthony Kerlavage, NCI CBIIT, Program Manager, 9609 Medical Center Drive, Room 1W-436, Rockville, MD 20850 or call non-toll-free number 240-276-5190 or email your request, including your address to: anthony.kerlavage@nih.gov. Formal requests for additional plans and instruments must be requested in writing.
Proposed Collection: Cancer Genomics Cloud Pilots Survey, 0925-NEW, National Cancer Institute (NCI), National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Need and Use of Information Collection Need and Use of Information Collection: The Center for Biomedical Informatics and Information Technology (CBIIT), in collaboration with the Center for Cancer Genomics at the National Cancer Instititues (NCI) in the National Institutes of Health (NIH), is coordinating a program to develop three Cancer Genomics Cloud Pilots to help meet the research community's needs to access and analyze high quality, large-scale cancer genomic data and associated clinical information. The goal of this effort is to develop an innovative, cost-effective model for computational analysis of biological data and provide broader yet secure access to genomic data that NCI generates. Cloud computing will be a valuable tool to support studies related to the mechanisms of cancer. This capability will be equally valuable to other NCI scientific areas, including clinical trials and other types of patient-focused research. In order to understand the utility and value of the tools being developed, the NCI has developed a survey instrument to capture feedback from the cancer research community. The information collected as part of this survey process will be used exclusively by the NCI to determine future funding of cloud technology projects.
OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 375.
