DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

Comment Request 

The Department of Commerce will

Budget (OMB) for clearance the

information under the provisions of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 

chapter 35).

Title: Conflict of Interest Disclosure 

for Nonfederal Government Individuals 

Who Are Candidates To Conduct Peer 

Reviews. 

OMB Control Number: 0648–0567. 

Form Number(s): NA. 

Type of Request: Regular submission 

(renewal of a currently approved 

information collection). 

Number of Respondents: 320. 

Average Hours per Response: 30 

minutes. 

Burden Hours: 160. 

Needs and Uses: The Office of 

Management and Budget’s Final 

Information Quality Bulletin for Peer 

Review (‘‘Peer Review Bulletin’’ or PRB) 

establishes minimum peer review 

standards for influential scientific 

information that Federal agencies intend 

to disseminate. The PRB also directs 

federal agencies to adopt or adapt the 

National Academy of Sciences (NAS) 

policy for evaluating conflicts of interest 

when selecting peer reviewers who are 

not Federal government employees 

(Federal employees are subject to 

Federal ethics requirements which 

address conflict of interest). For peer 

review purposes, the term ‘‘conflict of 

interest’’ means any financial or other 

interest which conflicts with the service 

of the individual because it could: (1) 

Significantly impair the individual’s 

objectivity; or (2) create an unfair 

competitive advantage for any person or 

organization. 

NOAA has adapted the NAS policy 

and developed three confidential 

conflict of interest disclosure forms 

which will be used to examine 

prospective reviewers’ potential 

financial conflicts and other interests 

that could impair objectivity or create 

an unfair advantage. The forms are for 

peer reviewers of studies related to 

government regulation; peer reviewers 

of any other influential scientific 

information subject to the Peer Review 

Bulletin; and potential reviewers of 

scientific laboratories. The forms 

include questions about employment as 

well as investment and property 

interests, and research funding. All 

three forms also require the submission 

of a curriculum vitae. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households. 

Frequency: On occasion. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
