DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
National Institutes of Health
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request; Cancer Biomedical
Informatics Grid[supreg] (caBIG[supreg]) Support Service Provider (SSP)
Program (NCI)
Summary: Under the provisions of Section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the National Cancer Institute (NCI),
the National Institutes of Health (NIH), has submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) a request to review and approve the
information collection listed below. This proposed information
collection was previously published in the Federal Register on February
11, 2011 (76 FR 7867) and allowed 60 days for public comment. No public
comments were received. The purpose of this notice is to allow an
additional 30 days for public comment. The National Institutes of
Health may not conduct or sponsor, and the respondent is not required
to respond to, an information collection that has been extended,
revised, or implemented on or after October 1, 1995, unless it displays
a currently valid OMB control number.
Proposed Collection: Title: cancer Biomedical Informatics Grid
[supreg] (caBIG [supreg]) Support Service Provider (SSP) Program (NCI).
Type of Information Collection Request: Existing Collection in Use
Without an OMB Number. Need and Use of Information Collection: The NCI
Center for Biomedical Informatics and Information Technology (CBIIT)
launched the enterprise phase of the caBIG [supreg] initiative in early
2007 with an emphasis on widespread institutional adoption of the
program and tools. This emphasis on adoption has generated an expanding
community with diverse needs for support, which are met through the
resources available through the caBIG [supreg] Enterprise Support
Network (ESN), including the caBIG [supreg] Support Service Provider
(SSP) Program. The caBIG [supreg] SSPs provide caBIG [supreg] end-users
with the freedom to match what caBIG [supreg] has to offer to their
unique organizational goals and needs, so having this customized
support option available is critically important to advancing the goals
of the caBIG [supreg] program. caBIG [supreg] SSP applicants are
evaluated against well-defined criteria published in the SSP Program
Announcement and must successfully demonstrate that they have the
technical capabilities, staffing and scalability, geographic coverage
(when applicable), and the domain expertise in biomedicine to
effectively serve caBIG [supreg] users. The information submitted by
SSP applicants enables NCI to determine whether such applicants are
qualified to enter into trademark license negotiations with NCI to use
the caBIG [supreg] trademarks in connection with their services and
become designated as caBIG [supreg] SSPs. Thus, the collection of
information from SSP applicants is critical to both ensuring that the
goals and objectives of the caBIG [supreg] program will be maintained
and furthered by the
[[Page 24890]]
organizations designated as SSPs and facilitating NCI's ability to
exercise appropriate stewardship of the caBIG [supreg] trademarks.
Sections 410 and 411 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 285
and 285a) authorize the collection of the information. Frequency of
Response: once for the applicants. caBIG [supreg] SSP applications are
accepted on a rolling basis and reviewed several times a year. Affected
Public: Private sector including Business or other for-profits and not-
for-profit organizations and institutions. Type of Respondents:
Technical representatives of commercial, academic or not-for-profit
organizations. The annual reporting burden is estimated at 360 hours.
There are no Capital Costs, Operating Costs, and/or Maintenance
Costs to report.
