Submission for OMB Review; 30-Day Comment Request; The Genetic 
Testing Registry

SUMMARY: Under the provisions of Section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has 
submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a request for 
review and approval of the information collection listed below. This 
proposed information collection was previously published in the Federal 
Register on November 25, 2014, page 70194 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 Office 
of the Director (OD), 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.
    Direct Comments to OMB: Written comments and/or suggestions 
regarding the item(s) contained in this notice, especially regarding 
the estimated public burden and associated response time, should be 
directed to the: Office of Management and Budget, Office of Regulatory 
Affairs, <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#9dd2d4cfdcc2eee8fff0f4eeeef4f2f3ddf2f0ffb3f8f2edb3faf2eb"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="4807011a09173b3d2a25213b3b2127260827252a662d2738662f273e">[email protected]</span></a> or by fax to 202-395-6974,

and instruments must be requested in writing.
    Proposed Collection: The Genetic Testing Registry, 0925-0651, 
EXTENSION--Office of the Director (OD), National Institutes of Health 
(NIH).
    Need and Use of Information Collection: Clinical laboratory tests 
are available for more than 5,000 genetic conditions. The Genetic 
Testing Registry (GTR) provides a centralized, online location for test 
developers, manufacturers, and researchers to voluntarily submit 
detailed information about the availability and scientific basis of 
their genetic tests. The GTR is of value to clinicians by providing 
information about the accuracy, validity, and usefulness of genetic 
tests. The GTR also highlights evidence gaps where additional research 
is needed.
    OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to 
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized 
burden hours are 5,536.
