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.
