This is a request for a New OMB number
for a period of 2 years. The National Cancer Institute is assessing
the feasibility of developing a tissue bank that would include tube
and ovary tissues from women undergoing surgery for benign
conditions, risk reduction and early stage cancer. Collecting
tissues from tubes and ovaries containing clinically unsuspected
precursors or early stage cancer is challenging, especially among
women that are not at increased genetic risk.
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.
