This is a request for OMB to emergency
process and approve The Clinical Trials Reporting Program (CTRP)
Database for 6 months. The National Cancer Institute (NCI) is
developing an electronic resource to serve as a single, definitive
source of information about all NCI-supported clinical research,
thereby enabling the NCI to execute its mission to reduce the
burden of cancer and to ensure an optimal return on the nation's
investment in cancer clinical research. Deployment and extension of
the CTRP Database is an infrastructure development project that
will be enabled by public funds expended pursuant to the American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, P.L. 111-5 ("Recovery Act").
In addition, deployment of this resource will allow the NCI to
consolidate reporting, aggregate information and reduce redundant
submissions. Information will be submitted by clinical research
administrators as designees of clinical investigators who conduct
NCI-supported clinical research. Authorization for emergency
processing pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.13 is requested so that the
information collection can begin by July 1, 2009.
The information
collection needs to commence by July 1, 2009 so that NCI can
conduct effective prototyping of the database in order to deploy it
systematically on a production basis by October 1, 2009 within the
timelines of the Recovery Act. Given the long term nature of this
project, the NCI cannot reasonably comply with the normal clearance
procedures because the 60-day/30-day notice and comment periods
will interfere with the timely collection of information. As
documented in the attached Supporting Statement A, NCI has taken
all practicable steps to consult with interested agencies and
members of the public in order to minimize the burden of the
proposed collection of information.
This is a new collection of
information with emergency processing. Deployment and extension of
the CTRP Database is an infrastructure development project to be
conducted pursuant to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of
2009.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
