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

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

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.
