The total burden has been increased to 1200 hours because there is less than a year left on the approval. If the generic is renewed, the total burden, rather than just the annual burden, should be requested (for this collection, 600 hours x 3 years = 1800 hours) in order to avoid running out of hours before the end of the approval cycle.

NIH is requesting a non-substantive, non-material change to the total burden that is reported in ICRAS/ROCIS for this generic information collection. This would be to correct an administrative error that has occurred; it is not a request to increase or decrease the burden hours or respondents.
The original burden, based on the 2008 OMB-approved Supporting Statement A, p. 32 requested an annual participant burden of 600 hours with 600 respondents.
The burden reported in the ICRAS/ROCIS is a total of 600 hours and respondents. This number should actually be 1800 hours and respondents, since this information collection was approved for three years.
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.
