Abstract: The National Institutes of Health (NIH) created the Genetic Testing Registry (GTR), a public database that health care providers, researchers, and others can search for information submitted voluntarily by genetic test providers. The GTR aims to enhance access to information about the availability and scientific basis of genetic tests, including newer types of tests such as pharmacogenomic tests. NCBI is considered a suitable developer of the GTR because of its experience in building databases of genetic and medical information and its ability to integrate the information with other data, greatly enhancing the GTR's utility for medical professionals and researchers. The GTR is also integrated with other relevant NIH databases to assist these user groups. NIH is, therefore, a natural home for the GTR because of its role in advancing public health through science and its strong expertise in developing databases.

Burden Increase Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: There are no program changes; burden estimates were adjusted based on actual GTR registration data over 5.8 years. Total annual burden hours have decreased to 4,198 from 5,536 in 2015. This is largely due to the increase in proportion of test submitted using time-saving bulk submission (from 62% of submissions to 83% of submissions).
