USC 285a-2 Name of Law: NCI's education and information
dissemination activities
This information collection
request is considered a reinstatement with change. The only change
is a request for a decrease in burden. The purpose, use,
methodology and design all remain the same as what has been
submitted and approved previously. This Generic submission has been
very active over the past couple of years and anticipates a
continued activity at the current level. Since less than half of
the previously requested burden hours was used over the course of
the past three years, the program is asking for a slight reduction
in burden hours. Additionally, with the approval of the NCI Fast
Track submission (OMB No. 0925-0642), it is anticipated that some
of the submissions that would have been a sub-study under this
Generic, will now seek approval under the Fast Track. Another
factor that should be considered is a reduction in the budget, thus
reducing the number of anticipated sub-studies over the next 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.
