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.
