DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

The Department of Commerce (DOC) 

will submit to the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) for clearance the 

following proposal for collection of 

information under the provisions of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 

Chapter 35). 

Agency: Bureau of Economic Analysis 

(BEA), Commerce. 

Title: Expenditures Incurred by 

Recipients of Biomedical Research 

Awards from the National Institutes of 

Health (NIH). 

OMB Control Number: 0608–0069. 

Form Number: None. 

Type of Request: Regular submission 

(extension of a currently approved 

information collection). 

Number of Respondents: 120. 

Average Hours per Response: 16 

hours is the average, but may vary 

among respondents because of 

differences in institution structure, size, 

and complexity. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 1,920 hours. 

Needs and Uses: The survey obtains 

the distribution of expenditures 

incurred by recipients of biomedical 

research awards from the National 

Institutes of Health (NIH) and will 

provide information on how the NIH 

award amounts are expended across 

several major categories. This 

information, along with wage and price 

data from other published sources, will 

be used to generate the Biomedical 

Research and Development Price Index 

(BRDPI). The Bureau of Economic 

Analysis (BEA) of the Department of 

Commerce develops this index for NIH 

under a reimbursable contract. The 

BRDPI is an index of prices paid for the 

labor, supplies, equipment, and other 

inputs required to perform the 

biomedical research the NIH supports in 

its intramural laboratories and through 

its awards to extramural organizations. 

The BRDPI is a vital tool for planning 

the NIH research budget and analyzing 

future NIH programs. A survey of award 

recipients is currently the only means 

for updating the expenditure categories 

weights that are used to prepare the 

BRDPI.
